Shasta

Shasta, more properly known as Cor, was a Prince and later King of Archenland. The Son of King Lune, Cor was kidnapped while still and infant and stolen away to Calormen. Years later Cor would return and save Archenland from the greatest danger it had ever faced. Years later Cor eventually married his travelling companion Aravis and the two went on to rule together once King Lune died. Cor and Aravis would also have a son who would later go on to be King Ram the Great.

Biography
Cor was born in the land of Archenland as the elder twin brother of Corin, the son of King Lune. As a baby, Cor, along with his brother, was brought into Narnia by his parents to be blessed by a centaur. The centaur predicted that Cor would one day save Archenland from a terrible threat. But one of Lune's lords, who was working as an agent for the Tisroc of Calormen, kidnapped Cor and sent him away in a boat. The boat was eventually pushed ashore by Aslan.

Shasta is raised in the fisherman Arsheesh's home. He was adopted by Arsheesh and grew up with him since as almost a 'slave'. It is likely that Shasta would have continued to live in this manner, if not for a chance incounter with Bree a talking horse and fellow captive within Calormen. The two escaped together the night of their meeting, and began their journey North. If Shasta had not escaped he would have been sold to a Tarkaan as a slave, someone harsher and meaner than Archeesh.

Some time later Bree and Shasta meet with two other travellers, Aravis and her horse Hwin. After some initial disagreements between the humans in the group, the four decided to continue on their journey together. The four continued to travel together without difficulty until they came to the Calormen capital of Tashbaan, where they were breifly seperated.

During his separation, he was mistaken for Prince Corin, who was staying with Queen Susan and King Edmund of Narnia on a diplomatic mission. Rabadash, the prince of Calormen, had been courting Susan, but Susan saw what he was really like in Tashbaan, and the group planned to leave secretly so she could avoid being forced to marry him. Shasta was able to escape with the help of his brother Corin (neither knew of their relations at the time).

Shasta reunited with Bree, Hwin, and Aravis. Aravis, while in the city, had heard of Rabadash's plan to invade Archenland and use it as a staging ground to invade Narnia and abduct Queen Susan. The group then set out to warn King Lune of the impending invasion. While on the way, Aslan chased them so they could get to Lune in time.

Shasta was able to tell King Lune about the attack, and fought in the battle that led to Rabadash's capture and the destruction of the Calormene army, fulfilling the prophecy that had been made about him. After the battle, King Lune realised that Shasta was really his long lost son Cor.

Cor and Aravis (who Cor had married) became the rulers of Archenland after King Lune's death. Their son, Ram, was the most famous of all Archenland's kings.
