Glenstorm is a character who appears in the 2008 Disney/Walden Media adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Background[]
Glenstorm serves as the general of the Old Narnians. Unlike most centaurs and other Old Narnians who believed Caspian is a traitor who ransacked the kingdom, Glenstorm accepted when Caspian promised to help restore their kingdom. Hence his duty as the general, he is shown to command the Narnians whenever it comes to battle such as the raid at the Telmarine castle or during the battle against the Telmarines between Aslan's How and the second battle at Beruna. In spite of this, he is shown to have a family consisting of his wife Windmane and three individual sons, Rainstone, Ironhoof, and Suncloud, who are his children. Glenstorm even became emotional when one of his sons died during the raid, fearing that the Telmarine forces are too powerful. Despite this, he even managed to survive the battle with his surviving family members.
Role in the film[]
Glenstorm and his sons are seen approaching the argument between Trufflehunter and Reepicheep where the former told him that Caspian was the one who blew the horn for help, just as he tells them that this is the reason they have gathered to blame Caspian for his association with the Telmarines. That night at the Dancing Lawn, Glenstorm takes part in a riot with the Narnians, commanding the Old Narnians to kill Caspian, accusing him for his association with the Telmarine army who is notorious for the major destructions across Narnia, causing the Narnians to lose their freedoms, homes, lands, and lives. As Caspian began to offer peace, he then tells the Narnians that he is planning to help, just as he began to rally the Narnians to help bring back the peace. Glenstorm and his sons offer him their swords as the other Narnians also offer him their lives by raising their weapons.
Glenstorm later took part during the battle at Miraz's Castle where he leads the Narnian army, alongside Asterius while Edmund was signaling the Narnians to attack to which the Narnians take part in a violent battle against the Telmarines. Although half of the Narnians were killed during the battle, Glenstorm readily holds Susan when Peter ordered the retreat. While Glenstorm managed to survive with many other survivors, one of his sons, Rainstone did not survive when the Telmarines closed the gate with many of the Narnians trapped inside. The next day, Glenstorm returned to Aslan's How where he carries Trumpkin who was seriously injured during the battle at Miraz's Castle (although Lucy manages to heal him) just before he approaches his wife Windmane who is sad that one of his sons Rainstone died during the battle at Miraz's Castle last night with Ironhoof and Suncloud being the two of the surviving sons of his family.
Glenstorm later took part in the battle against the Telmarine army during battle at Aslan's How within the second battle at Beruna, where the Old Narnians clash violently with the Telmarines. After the battle ended, Glenstorm managed to survive with his two surviving sons. Glenstorm is later seen amongst the crowd of Narnians where his wife and his sons attend Caspian's coronation with the peace made between Narnians and Telmarines, just before the Pevensies were sent back to Earth.
