He is the son of Caspian the 9th and is the nephew of king Miraz, the tyrant and villain of the story. After Miraz finally has an heir then he orders the assassination of his nephew, but Caspian’s teacher gives him fair warning and helps him flee. Caspian is Narnia’s rightful king, but Miraz has pushed him away from the throne. Caspian, after fleeing, ends up running into some “old Narnians”, which he has only heard about when read to by his teacher in secret. Old Narnians include dwarves, talking animals, and other mystical creatures. They have almost all gone been killed off by of Caspian’s people, the Telmarines, and have been waiting for a time to strike down their human oppressors. Narnian prophecy says that Narnia needs a human (son of Adam) as king, but the “old Narnians” have almost all lost faith in the old prophecies because of all the turmoil they have had to endure in hiding. The Narnians Caspian had stumbled upon where a mixed group of faithful Narnians and Narnians who had lost faith; the ones that hadn’t lost faith made up the majority and they proclaimed Caspian as king. This of course may sound kind of crazy because it was Caspian’s people who had made then near extinction, but Caspian was one of a few Telmarines who actually liked “old Narnians”. The point I’m at Caspian has called the Kings and queens of old (the kids from “The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe”) and they have just arrived where Caspian’s army is based (Aslan’s Howe AKA. The Stone Table).
