Minor Characters
Lord Drinian
Lord Drinian is the captain of the Dawn Treader, although he still sometimes reports to his Narnian king, Caspian. Drinian is brave but practical and one of the most experienced sailors on the Dawn Treader.
Ramandu
Ramandu is a wise old retired star. He currently presides over an island in far eastern Narnia that contains Aslan’s Table (where Lord Revilian, Lord Argoz, and Lord Mavramorn have been sleeping for many years). Ramandu lives on the island with his daughter.
Governor Gumpas
Governor Gumpas is a leader on the island of Felimath, Doorn, and Avra, which are part of Narnia but have stopped paying tribute. Caspian deposes Gumpas and forces him to abolish the slave trade on the islands.
Lord Bern
Lord Bern is one of the seven lords of Narnia that Caspian seeks. He frees Caspian from slavery, and as a reward, Caspian installs Bern as a new ruler after deposing Governor Gumpas and abolishing slavery.
Lord Rhoop
Lord Rhoop is one of the seven lords of Narnia that Caspian seeks. The Dawn Treader rescues him from the waters near Dark Island, and he travels with them for a while before stopping on Ramandu’s island.
Lord Revilian, Lord Argoz, and Lord Mavramorn
Lords Revilian, Argoz, and Mavramorn are each one of the seven lords of Narnia that Caspian seeks. When Caspian finds them, they have been sleeping for seven years beside Aslan’s table, not because they ate the food but because one of them touched the Knife of Stone.
Lord Octesian
Lord Octesian is one of the seven lords of Narnia that Caspian seeks. He seems to have died on Dragon Island, possibly in the form of a dragon, leaving behind a magic golden armband.
Lord Restimar
Lord Restimar is one of the seven lords of Narnia that Caspian seeks. He died in a pool that turned him into a golden statue.
Chief
The Chief is the leader of an island race known variously as the Duffers, the Monopods, and the Dufflepuds. He and his followers are not especially intelligent, and they need Coriakin to tell them what to do.
Ramandu’s Daughter
The daughter of Ramandu is a beautiful woman who helps attend to Aslan’s Table and who marries Caspian at the end of the novel.
Pug
Pug is a greedy slave trader who attempts to sell the crew of the Dawn Treader into slavery until Caspian stops him.
Rhince
Rhince is the mate on the Dawn Treader. He is less willing than the other sailors to tolerate Eustace’s bad behavior.
Susan
Susan is Eustace’s cousin and Edmund and Lucy’s sister. Lucy is sometimes jealous of Susan, particularly her beauty. She appears more prominently in other Narnia books.
Peter
Peter is Eustace’s cousin and Edmund and Lucy’s brother. He appears more prominently in other Narnia books.
Alberta
Alberta is Eustace’s mother and Edmund and Lucy’s aunt. She is the only person to like Eustace less after he comes back from Narnia, hinting that perhaps she is selfish the way Eustace used to be.
Harold
Harold is Eustace’s father and Edmund and Lucy’s uncle.
