Bree & Hwin
Bree is the signature horse of The Horse and His Boy, a talking
destrier who wishes to return to Narnia but cannot let go
of his old habits. Hwin is a talking mare that helps Aravis run
away from her home. The two horses are not very fond of each
other at first, though they’re a quite more agreeable duo than
their riders, Cor and Aravis. As the journey progresses, Bree and
Hwin become good friends. Hwin often acts as Bree’s support,
as the destrier fears being ostracized by Narnia’s horses.
Rabadash, the Ridiculous
Son of the Tisroc (may he live forever!), Rabadash is an ambi-
tious, impatient man who is eager to take Calormen’s throne
and expand the Empire beyond the Great Desert. After Queen
Susan (Pevensie) rejects his marriage proposal, the Calormene
prince decides to cross the Desert and conquer the kingdoms
of Narnia and Archenland, pursuing Shasta and his entourage
unknowingly.
Caspian X
Prince Caspian, later King Caspian X the Navigator, is a noble
Telmarine who opposes the depredations undertaken by his
uncle, the usurper Miraz. Despite his good intentions, not all
Narnians accept Caspian until the arrival of the Four High
Kings of Cair Paravel – Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie.
Caspian distinguishes himself from the rest of the Telmarines
for his loyalty, goodness and courage. He is an exemplar leader,
as he shows in his quest for the noble Telmarines who were
loyal to his father.
