Bern

Lord Bern was one of the Telmarine lords who opposed King Miraz. These lords did not fear the oceans or forests, unlike most Telmarines, and were of the few who respected the legends of Old Narnia, or Narnia before the invasion from Telmar. Bern and six other lords were sent to "explore the seas beyond the Lone Islands" by King Miraz in an attempt to get rid of them. Lord Bern remained behind at the Lone Islands when his companions continued on toward the eastern end of the world.

King Caspian X, during his famed journey over the eastern seas, was purchased as a slave by Lord Bern after being captured by traders before any of the island dwellers were aware of his true identity. Bern bought the king because he reminded him of Caspian IX, the father of Caspian X, whom the Narnian lord had served prior to the king's death and his exile by Miraz. King Caspian revealed his identity to Lord Bern, who then assisted the king in reestablishing a Narnian presence on the islands. Upon his departure, Caspian threw out the present, corrupt governor and made Lord Bern Duke of the Lone Islands, as he "had had enough of governors."
