Tumnus

Tumnus, was a male Faun, a former servant of the White Witch, and later, a high official in the Narnian Kingdom.

Biography
During the reign of the White Witch, Tumnus was hired to bring to her any Humans who he found in the Kingdom of Narnia. In accordance with the Witch's Secret Police, Tumnus was to kidnap these "Sons of Adam" and "Daughters of Eve", in order to stop the fulfillment of the Golden Age Prophecy.

Tumnus lived in a secret cave and during his very first encounter with a Human, Lucy Pevensie, he rejected his orders (after nearly subduing her with his flute-playing) and allowed her to escape back to her Earth through the Wardrobe in Lantern Waste. He was one of the several creatures in Narnia who openly pledged themselves to White Witch, unlike the majority who waited for the arrival of Aslan. However, after Tumnus helped Lucy escape, warning her that the Witch had spies among the trees and creatures, he was consequently arrested by her Secret Police for treason and human contact as was stated in the note left at the ruins of Tumnus' cave: "The former occupant of these premises, the Faun Tumnus, is under arrest and awaiting his trial on a charge of High Treason against her Imperial Majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia, Chatelaine of Cair Paravel, Empress of the Lone Islands, etc., also of comforting her said Majesty's enemies, harboring spies and fraternising with Humans. signed MAUGRIM, Captain of the Secret Police, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!"

After being tortured for information, he was then turned to stone by the White Witch until Aslan arrived to collect reinforcements for the Battle of Beruna, freeing the numerous petrified citizens in her castle. He later is leading the adult Pevensie family on a hunt for the White Stag when they return to the world, and the next time the Pevensie children return Tumnus is long dead.

Early Achievements
Tumnus was alive before the Hundred-Year Winter and often danced with his fellow Fauns and Satyrs, loving the freedom of the land. Tumnus deeply respected his father, inheriting his father's cave and hanging his picture on the wall. When Jadis siezed the throne, he out of fear became her servant and pledged himself to her, becoming one of her agents. It is believed that his father did quite the opposite and went to war against the witch. He presided as a agent over the Lantern Waste and vowed if he saw any humans, on pain of treason, he would immediatly put them to sleep with his flute and bring them to her ice palace to the north. He also vowed, as all other agents did, to serve Jadis as a soldier if war ever came. He was ashamed of himself and when Lucy Pevensie came, he helped her escape and became rebellious against the White Witch.

Later Life
Tumnus served as regent over Narnia while the monarchs were sailing to Calormen to arrange a marriage and alliance with The Tisroc, and when they returned to Narnia he brought them on their hunt for the elusive White Stag in the Lantern Waste, where they disappeared and returned to Earth. During this time of chaos, the Telmarines under lead of Caspian I conquered Narnia and Tumnus died, he is never mentioned after the Pevensie children leave Narnia.

He reunited with Lucy after Narnia was destroyed.
