Reepicheep

"You're a... mouse!" "You people have NO imagination!"

- Telmarine soldier and Reepicheep

Reepicheep (Reep for short) was a brave and valiant talking mouse warrior who lived during the reign of Caspian X. He took part in the Narnian Revolution and sailed with Caspian to the End of the World.

Narnian Revolution
Reepicheep played a major role in the Narnian Revolution in which he fought alongside the Old Narnians in their attempt to take the country back from the oppressive Telmarine regime. King Miraz was overthrown, and Caspian X took his place as the rightful heir to the throne of Cair Paravel.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Reepicheep sailed with King Caspian, on the Dawn Treader, to the end of the world. During the voyage, he had some minor problems with Eustace Scrubb, who showed the mouse no respect and once swung him around by his tail. Reepicheep's problems with Eustace ended on Dragon Island, when Eustace was turned into a Dragon. After this (and once Eustace was turned back into a Human by Aslan) the two of them became good friends.

Reepicheep, along with Edmund, Lucy and Eustace did eventually reach the end of the world. There, he entered Aslan's Country to save three of the seven lords of Narnia from their slumber. He stayed there forever.

The Final Battle
In "The Last Battle", Reepicheep welcomed everyone to Aslan's Country.

Weapon
Reepicheep wielded a sword known as a rapier. This sword he used throughout the Narnian Revolution and his voyage to the world’s end on the Dawn Treader. The sword was very nearly as long as his tail, with the blade made of dwarf-tempered steel. Upon reaching the world’s end he threw his sword across the Silver Sea having no further use for it, and where it landed its hilt remained above the surface. When Reepicheep greeted the people of Narnia to Aslan’s Country it was noted that he had a long sword, though it is unknown if this was the same sword that he had thrown at World’s end.
