Aslan is the central Christ-like character in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books.
Aslan is a talking lion and the great ruler of Narnia. He appears throughout the series as a creator, guide, protector, and judge. His name and role are associated with authority, courage, sacrifice, and restoration, making him the most symbolically important figure in the Narnia stories.
His most famous episode occurs in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Aslan offers himself in place of Edmund Pevensie, is killed on the Stone Table, and returns to life. Lewis drew on Christian themes, but Aslan is a fictional character rather than a direct retelling of every detail of Jesus’s life.
Reepicheep, Mr. Tumnus, and Puddleglum are also important Narnian characters, but they are not the series’ central lion figure.
