Otmin



Otmin was a male Minotaur and the general of the White Witch's Army. He lived during the Long Winter, and was regarded as a skilled tactician and loyal follower of the Witch.

Biography
Otmin was one of the Queen's loyal servants during the Long Winter, even being promoted to General of her armies. He was killed in the battle of Beruna, fighting against the centaur Oreius.

In spring of 1000 NY, Otmin was present at a war council of the Witch as they prepared to attack the forces of Aslan and his kings. Otmin was dismayed along with the rest of the camp to discover that their hostage Prince Edmund had been rescued by a small contingent of Aslan's forces led by the centaur Oreius. Otmin later escorted the witch to Aslan's camp near the Stone Table and waited as his Queen and Aslan bargained over Edmund's life.

Later that night, Otmin was present at the Sacrifice of Aslan at the Stone Table. When Aslan arrived, Otmin boldly knocked him to the ground and began torturing him with his companions.

The next morning, Otmin led Jadis' shock troops in the initial attack of the Battle of Beruna. He fearlessly led the first charge, and alerted his soldiers to the Gryphons who were pummeling his men with boulders. He also took down many enemy soldiers with his axe and sword. After the enemy's retreat, he was one of the first to pursue them into the gorge to which they fled. He engaged in combat with General Orieus, who was trying to slay Queen Jadis, and and after a short skirmish with the centaur, fell with Oreius's twin swords in his back.
