==Bio Info== '''Titles:''' Lord Sopespian '''Age:''' Unknown '''Species:''' Son of Adam, Telmarine '''Home:''' Miraz's Castle '''Physical Description:''' A big man '''First Appearance:''' ''Prince Caspian'', Ch. 13 (1951) ==About Sopespian== Sopespian is an opportunistic Telmarine lord who is easily led into treacherous plans by his friend [[Glozelle]]. He is less charismatic and creative than [[Glozelle]], but he plays his part in the deception of [[Miraz]] with understated finesse. He endures [[Miraz]]'s insults with equanimity, knowing that he can only gain from what they have goaded [[Miraz]] to do. His selfish personality is less assertive than [[Glozelle]]'s, but no less dangerous. His death in battle against King [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] is a fitting end to his plans of crushing the Narnian army after the duel. ==Appearances== ===~ Prince Caspian ~ (1951)=== [[File:3786.jpg|left]]Sopespian has just finished eating with [[Glozelle]] when he looks up and sees [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], [[Glenstorm]], and [[Wimbleweather]] coming toward them out of the woods. At first glance they believe it is an attack, but when they see the green branches the party is carrying, they realize it is a parley. Looking into [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]]'s kingly face, Sopespian and [[Glozelle]] determine he has come not to surrender, but to bring a challenge. They are surprised by this because the Telmarine army is clearly in a superior position. But [[Glozelle]] believes that they can use this to their advantage and takes Sopespian aside to suggest that they might be able to get [[Miraz]] to accept the challenge. If [[Miraz]] wins, then the war would be over, but if he loses, the Telmarine army can still win the war — and Sopespian and [[Glozelle]] could then rule Narnia. When [[Miraz]] calls them into his tent to ask for advice on the challenge, the two lords cleverly imply that he should refuse it because he is too old and cowardly. This throws [[Miraz]] into a rage, goading him to accept the challenge, and he stomps out of the tent after insulting them. Sopespian and [[Glozelle]] are pleased with his response to their manipulation. During the duel, [[Miraz]] falls on his face, but before he can rise Sopespian and [[Glozelle]] rush into the ring, shouting "Treachery" against the Narnians and starting the Battle of Beruna. Sopespian dies when he faces King [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] in battle. ==Quotes== *"This is a fell warrior, I warrant you, wherever the rebels have got him from. He is (in your Lordship's private ear) a kinglier man than ever [[Miraz]] was." (PC, Ch. 13) *"Do not touch it, Sire. And what your Majesty says of the policy of the thing comes in very happily. It gives your Majesty excellent grounds for a refusal without any cause for questioning your Majesty's honor or courage." (PC, Ch. 13) ==Portrayals== *[[File:WDSopespian.jpg|left]]Damián Alcázar: Disney/Walden ''Prince Caspian'', 2008 Born: 8 January 1953 *Christopher Snell (voice): Focus on the Family Radio Theater, 1999 – 2002 *[[File:BBCSopespian.jpg|left]]Rory Edwards: BBC TV series, 1989 – 1990 *Andrew Branch (voice): BBC Radio Tales of Narnia
