How Pacific Rim correlates to fairy tales & fantasy tropes, in a nutshell
The Shatterdome: The Castle
Marshal Stacker Pentecost: The King
Mako Mori: The Princess
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb and Dr. Newt Geiszler: The Court Wizards
Rangers: The Knights
Jaegers: The Knights' Armors
Rangers' Assistant Technicians: The Squires
Kaiju: The Dragons
Hannibal Chau & Crew: Pirates
Some notes:
Travis Beacham explicitly associated rangers with Saint George in particular. The Tales From Year Zero comic depicts a statue of Saint George slaying a dragon in a graveyard for dead rangers.
Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, & Monsters recounts that Guillermo del Toro told actor Ron Perlman "he's a pirate" in regard to Hannibal Chau.

Newt and Hannibal in a fairy tale AU? :)
"Alright kid." The fey grinned. "One last chance. What's my name, little man?"
Anyone else would have been afraid. Anyone else would have thought about how clever the fey was, how he could twist your words any way he wanted, and if that didn't work, just kill you.
Newt was far too tired, angry, and wet to be afraid. He marched right up to the fey, looked him in the eye (although he had to lean back to do so) and boldly stated;
"Hannibal Chau"
The fey blinked. "Well I'll be darned." He chuckled. "Guess you you win this round."
