•
Lucy Pevensie, the youngest Pevensie child and the first to see Aslan again. •
Edmund Pevensie, the third Pevensie child. Unlike his older siblings, he trusts Lucy's sighting of Aslan, pointing out that in their first adventure she turned out to be right and he ended up looking silly. •
Peter Pevensie, the oldest of the Pevensie siblings and High King of Narnia. •
Susan Pevensie, the second oldest of the Pevensie children. She uses a bow and arrow. •
Prince Caspian, the rightful Telmarine King, who becomes King of Narnia. He reappears in the next two books in the series:
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and
The Silver Chair, and makes a brief appearance in the end of
The Last Battle. •
Aslan, the Great Lion, who created Narnia. •
Miraz, Caspian's uncle, who usurped the throne of the Telmarines. So long as Miraz has no son, he tolerates Caspian as heir, but when a son is born he moves to eliminate Caspian. He fights the Old Narnians, who support Caspian, and accepts a challenge to single combat with Peter to settle the matter; but he is killed treacherously by Lord Glozelle after the duel. •
Trumpkin, a Red Dwarf who helps Caspian defeat Miraz. When he is captured by Miraz's soldiers and taken to Cair Paravel to be drowned, he is freed by the Pevensie children and leads them to Caspian. At the beginning of the novel he is entirely sceptical about the existence of Aslan and the ancient Kings and Queens, but learns better in the course of the story. • Doctor
Cornelius, half-dwarf and half-human, is tutor to Caspian and aids in the Narnians' defeat of the Telmarines. •
Reepicheep, a Talking
Mouse (descended from the non-talking mice who freed Aslan from his bonds in the previous book, and were thus given the gift of speech), is a fearless swordsman and a staunch supporter of Aslan and Caspian. • Nikabrik, a Black Dwarf in Caspian's army, who fights alongside Caspian. Together with a Hag and a Wer-Wolf, he plots to resurrect the
White Witch against the Telmarines through black magic, but all three are killed by Caspian and his allies. •
Trufflehunter, a Talking Badger, who holds faith with Aslan and Old Narnia, and aids Prince Caspian in his struggle against Miraz. •
Bacchus and
Silenus, Narnian forest gods (borrowed from Ancient Greece). • Lord Sopespian and Lord Glozelle, lords of Telmar. After being insulted by Miraz they manipulate him into accepting Peter's challenge. They cry treachery when Miraz falls, and Glozelle secretly stabs him in the back. Sopespian is beheaded by Peter as the all-out battle begins, but Lewis does not mention the fate of Glozelle. ==Themes==
