First Appearance: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
Played By: Jim May
A talking wolf born during the reign of Jadis the self proclaimed Queen of Narnia and the one hundred year winter.
At some point in his life, he joined the White Witch's Secret Police force being a supporter of her claim to the throne.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
Vardan is among the members of the Secret Police to be tasked to hunt down and kill both of the Beavers and the Pevensie children at the Beaver's Damn.
Reaching the Damn, Vardan and the rest of the pack begin to break into the house, but are told to hurry by Maugrime. Finally getting inside, they begin to tear the place apart until they find the Beaver's escape tunnel and follow it.
He and the pack watch Maugrime as he interrogates the fox, falling for the Fox's ploy to send them North in order to allow the children to get to the Stone Table.
The pack eventually pick up the correct trail and confront the Pevensie Children at the Waterfall and frozen river crossing, where they corner the children. However he and the other wolves are sent crashing under the water when the ice thaws and creates a powerful wave.
Surviving the incident, Vardan and the other members of the pack find the Fox gathering "rebels" near the shuddering woods and helps bring him before the Queen: watching him being turned stone, before being ordered to continue to the "Stone Table" after Edmund revealed the location of Aslan and his army.
Vardan and Maugrime hunt down the Pevensie's at the camp, where they shock Lucy and Susan- while the two girls were playing in the river- by appearing behind their towel that was hanging on a branch. Varden follows Maugrime's statement of their tiredness by stating that they wanted to kill them "quickly." However Susan distracts them long enough to reach for her horn and contact Peter and climb up a tree. Both wolves try and bite at their legs as Peter arrives and draws his sword on them.
Varden circles Peter as Maugrime mocks Peter for standing up to him again with the sword- having done it at the river- and is about to attack when Aslan arrives with Oreius and traps under him the lion's paw. He watches in shock as Peter kills Maugrime and sprints away as soon as he is released, inadvertently leading Oreius and several other of Alsan's forces to the Witch's camp.
Varden was injured during Edmund's rescue and is subsequently killed by an irate Jadis with a sword for failure.

A minotaur living during the reign of Jadis the Queen of Narnia, Otim was the General of the White Witch's army and her second in command, joining and supporting her cause at some point prior to the arrival of the Pevensie children.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
Minutes before the arrival of Oreius and the other creatures in his party to rescue Edmund from the White Witch's military camp, Otim stood before Jadis, proposing the strategy they should use during the upcoming battle between their army and Aslan's. He reveals that he will "send the Minotaur's on the left flank and keep the Giant's on reserve, sending the dwarves in first."
Hearing the clashing of blades and hoof beats, Otim realises that their bargaining chip- Edmund- was in danger of being taken away from them and alerts the Queen, following her to the tree where Edmund had been kept. He watches as the Queen frees Ginarrbrick and looks to her for new orders. She tells him that "they have work to do."
Otim acted as Jadis' bodyguard during her parle with Aslan and her attempt to regain Edmund in order to sacrifice on the Stone Table. He leaves after the proposal to exchange Aslan's life with Edmund's was agreed by the two leaders.
Later that evening, Otim stood near the Stone Table as Aslan made his way up the stairs towards the Witch. On her signal, he knocks Aslan out with his axe and enjoys the sight of the Lion being bound, shaved and dragged before the Queen. Upon the "death" of Aslan, the White Witch tells him to "ready the troops" and he gives a loud bellowing moo to the other members of her army.
Otim is the first to come over the mountain, giving the signal for the rest of the army to advance, waiting for the Queen and her polar bear driven chariot. She tells him that she "has no interest in prisoners, Kill them all," and he commands them to advance. Jumping into the fray he charges towards Aslan's army. However he notices the flock of gryphons in the air, warning the soldiers to "look to the sky." Otim unsheathes his sword and brings down two centaurs
He is forced back by the Pheonix's fire, but continues his assault once the Witch douses the wall with her magic.
When Peter is thrown from his horse (unicorn), Oreius leads a second charge against Jadis and her forces. Charging at the centaur, Otim is disarmed by a two handed attack and is thrown over Oreius' flank. Trying to hold on and pull him back, Otim had the two blades rammed into his spine and is killed.
The Narnian Lullaby (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe)
First Appearance: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
One of the many Narnian Lullabies played by the Narnians to get them to sleep, Mr. Tumnus learned this piece for his pan pipes.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"
During Mr. Tumnus' attempt to kidnap Lucy Pevensie, he asked her whether she wanted to hear any Narnian music. Happily accepting, he goes on to question whether or not she has heard any "Narnian Lullabies" before. He jokingly comments that it was a good thing that she hadn't as "this probably won't sound anything like one" before beginning to play the piece on his pan pipes.
As the music plays, Lucy sees various scenes within the flames as she begins to fall deeper into sleep. When she eventually did fall asleep, Mr. Tumnus continues playing until a vision of Aslan appears in the flames, his roar acting like cold air and blowing out all the candles.
