When the four Pevensie children arrived in Narnia together, they visited Tumnus' home and found it trashed, but also that a foreboding note had been left. He was taken to the Witch's castle for a supposed "trial". Unfortunately, Edmund ended up meeting the White Witch, and unwittingly told her everything about Tumnus helping Lucy escape.etc.Īfter she dealt with Edmund, she sent her police to arrest Tumnus.
Lucy visited Tumnus again on her second visit to Narnia, and inadvertently brought her brother, Edmund Pevensie, with her. Bursting into tears, he apologized to Lucy, told her about the Witch, and risked his life to help her escape back through the Wardrobe to Earth. His talk with Lucy made him realize what a heinous act it would be to betray her. However, he could not go through with the immoral plan. Lucy and Tumnus had tea, afterwards he played her a tune on his Narnian flute, of which he was quite an accomplished player, and she nodded off. He planned to lull Lucy to sleep, kidnap her, and take her to the Witch. This was to prevent the fulfilment of the Golden Age Prophecy, which the Witch knew meant her downfall.Īlthough Tumnus resented the rule of the Witch, he was afraid to disobey her. Īlong with many other Narnians, Tumnus was bent by fear to obey the laws of the White Witch Jadis, one of which was to inform her of, or deliver to her, any Daughters of Eve or Sons of Adam that were found in Narnia. Tumnus had never seen a human, and after being informed by Lucy that she was in fact one, he invited her to his home for tea. When Lucy Pevensie first entered Narnia through the Wardrobe, Tumnus was the first Narnian she met they bumped into each other by accident at the Lamp-post. Tumnus lived in a comfortable cave by the side of the Lamp-post in the Lantern Waste, during the last years of the reign of the White Witch. The two, however, looked very much alike. It's likely he said this because his father was willing to give his life for the freedom of Narnia, while Tumnus at the time was working for Jadis. Tumnus didn't believe he and his father were alike in any way.
It's unknown exactly when his father did this, as he may have fought during the Age of Winter, or, because Fauns are said to have long life-spans, he may have fought against her army when she first conquered Narnia itself. Tumnus was the son of a Faun who fought against the White Witch. He wore a red woollen muffler round his neck, and had a strange but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard. His upper body was that of a man, with reddish skin. Tumnus was described as being just a little taller than Lucy. Like any Faun, he had the legs of a goat, which were covered with curly, glossy black hair, and he had a tail.
