Glenstorm

"Tarva, the Lord of Victory, and Alambil, the Lady of Peace, have come together in the high heavens."

- Glenstorm describing the stars and their significance.

Glenstorm was a Centaur who lived before and during the reign of Caspian X.

He was counted amongst the Old Narnians, but unlike many of his kind, he accepted Caspian X as their King quickly and loyally, most likely because he foresaw that things were about to change in Narnia, and believed Caspian was part of that prophecy.

He was a prophet and a star-gazer, and predicted that Caspian had come to wage a war against his uncle Miraz, and restore the rightful rule to Narnia. He was the leading Centaur of the Narnian Revolution, and was the general of the Old Narnian army.

"If you will lead us, then my sons and I will offer you our swords."

- Glenstorm pledging his allegiance to Caspian X.

Glenstorm also had three sons who fought alongside him during the war.

In the duel between Peter and Miraz, Glenstorm is a Marshal of the Lists, to aid Peter.

In the film, Glenstorm had a wife called Windmane whom he had had his sons with. The sons were also named Ironhoof, Suncloud and Rainstone.

During the Battle of Miraz's Castle, he led the Narnians into the castle, roaring out, "CHARGE!" as he stormed inside.

When the Telmarines trapped most of the Narnians inside their castle courtyard by closing the gate, they also trapped his son Rainstone inside, and shot him down. His son did not survive

During the duel between Peter and Miraz, as well as being a Marshal of the Lists, he is also seen in the battle, leading a Satyr and a Faun on a suicide mission.

He survived, though, and was later seen at the coronation with his sons and wife.

Description
In the book; he is described as having a chestnut coloured coat on his horse-half, and a long golden-red beard that covers his broad chest.

In the film; he has long, brown twined hair, with dark skin, a black coat for his horse-half, and a goatee beard.

Later Life
After Caspian's coronation, it is believed he continued serving Caspian as his General, and also as his tutor. He schooled Caspian in certain subjects, such as jousting.
