"You want to know about my master the Tarkaan Anradin. Well, he's bad. Not too bad to me, for a war-horse costs too much to be treated very badly. But you'd be better lying dead tonight than go to be a human slave in his house tomorrow."
Bree talking about Anradin [src]


Anradin was a Calormene Tarkaan, and the master of the Narnian horse, Bree.

Character and Physical Appearance[]

Anradin was a wealthy Tarkaan, a great warrior, and a shrewd businessman. He was very harsh and cruel, especially to his slaves. Like many Calormenes, he looked down on the poor and made demands upon them for food and shelter.

Anradin, like all Calormenes, had dark coloring. He wore a spiked helmet, a silken turban, and a chain-mail shirt. He was equipped with a scimitar, a round shield with brass bosses, and a lance. His beard was dyed crimson, and gleamed with scented oil. He wore a golden ring on his bare arm, indicating that he was a Tarkaan.

Biography[]

Anradin1

Anradin, Bree, Arsheesh_(books) and Shasta.

"And now, O my host, I have a mind to buy that boy of yours."
Anradin [src]

Anradin was a prominent warrior who fought many battles with Bree in the service of the Tisroc.

On his way north to Tashbaan to visit the Tisroc's court, Anradin demanded hospitality from a poor fisherman named Arsheesh_(books).

After dinner, the Tarkaan bargained with Arsheesh_(books) to buy Shasta, the fisherman's servant-boy, whom he had rescued as a baby from a boat that the tide had carried to the shore near his house.

That night, Shasta escaped with Anradin's horse, Bree, and began his journey to Narnia.

Anradin presumably bought or commandeered another horse and continued toward Tashbaan, as he was in Rabadash's army at the Battle of Anvard, in which he was killed.
