Aslan is the Great Lion and the true King of Narnia.  His very name invokes feelings of power and warmth when the Pevensies and Elaine first hear it--except for Edmund who is under the White Witch's spell.  After the Pevensies and Elaine first meet him and explain what happened to Edmund, he promises that he will do what he can to save him.  He is a wise leader who helps Peter grow in his first battle and shows Elaine how she has worth even though she is not in the prophecy.  When the White Witch comes to claim Edmund, Aslan takes his place and voluntarily sacrifices himself.  However, because he committed no treachery, he is returned to life and ends the reign of the White Witch once and for all.  He then crowns the Pevensies and assigns them their official titles.  He disappears that evening, leaving Narnia in the Pevensies' hands to return when Narnia has need of him again.
