Sopespian

Sopespian was a Telmarine lord in the service of King Miraz.

During the Narnian Revolution, Sopespian plotted with fellow Lord Glozelle to overthrow their king Miraz and take over the kingdom themselves. Their plan almost worked, as they talked Miraz into accepting the challenge to a duel with Peter Pevensie.

Sopespian was a Marshal of the Lists for Miraz, along with Glozelle, and during the duel Glozelle covertly killed Miraz, blaming it on an illegal technique Peter used, and thus convincing the Telmarines to charge the Narnians.

The Telmarine Army, led by Sopespian, rushed at the Old Narnians, commencing the Second Battle of Beruna. Immediately, Peter Pevensie cut off Sopespian's legs with his sword, and with the back-cut of the same stroke decapitated him.

Portrayal
In the Disney film version, Sopespian was the one who killed Miraz, stabbing him with an arrow and saying that the Narnians shot him, and Gregoire is the lord killed by Peter.

When the Trees give the Narnians the upper hand, he tells the Telmarine Army to retreat to the Bridge of Beruna (which his men constructed earlier to get the troops to Aslan's How), but when they got there, they found Lucy and Aslan waiting for them. Aslan roared and awoke the River God, who crushed Sopespian and destroyed the bridge.

In the BBC TV show, his role is the same as in the book, except it is Glozelle who is killed by Peter, and Sopespian's fate remains unknown. However, he is not seen at the end, implying he was killed in the battle.

In the book, he and Glozelle are depicted as tall men with capes and pointed caps.
