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. He was also 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.

He had a wife called Windmane whom he had had three sons with. Those sons were Suncloud, Ironhoof, and Rainstone. Glenstorm led the Narnians to Miraz's castle and screamed out "CHARGE!"

In the film, his son Rainstone did not survive the night raid, as he was inside the castle courtyard when the Telmarines closed the gate, trapping him and the other Narnians inside, and shot down.

In the last battle, Glenstorm is a Marshal of the Lists, to aid Peter in his duel with Miraz. He is seen in the battle, leading a Satyr and a Faun on a suicide mission.

He is 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 very short beard.

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