Ginarrbrik



The "Witch's Dwarf", named Ginnarbrik in the Disney adaptation, was the unnamed Black Dwarf that was personal servant of the White Witch.

Biography
He probably began his service to the Witch young, as he was quite old by the time of the Winter Rebellion. He was known to sport a long beard and a red hood with a long gold tassel hanging down from it's point, and was usually dressed in polar-bear like fur.

In 1000 NT, he was driving the Witch's sleigh through the Lantern Waste when they were stopped at the sight of a human boy. The Dwarf was unpleasant, but obedient to his mistress. When the boy (called Edmund) later arrived at the Queen's castle, the dwarf served him a very dry crust of bread and some water, prompting the lad to respond, "I don't want dry bread!". He also drove the queen and her prisoner over the land of Narnia until the snows began to melt. When he commented that the thaw was the result of Aslan, his Queen commanded him not to speak again lest she kill him. When she contemplated her human hostage, he suggested that they use the boy as ransom against Aslan and his allies. He was preparing Edmund to be killed when he was stormed by a group of Narnians, who rescued the boy. In order to escape, the Witch magically made him appear as a stump and the two later reunited with her armies. A day later, the dwarf was sent to Aslan's camp to request an audience with Aslan for the Queen. His later fate is unknown.

Film Portrayal
Ginarrbrik was the name given to White Witch's accomplice in the Disney version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He highly disliked Edmund Pevensie (and possibly all humans.) He carried a whip to drive the Witch's sleigh, and for use as a weapon. He also carried a knife and an axe. He also had a Bow which he used during the Battle of Beruna to bring down Peter's unicorn. Ginarrbrik repeatedly displayed a devious personality. During the Battle of Beruna, he dueled briefly with Edmund, whom he later tried to kill, and was ultimately shot dead by an arrow from Susan's bow.
