Maugrim
Maugrim is a fictional character in the 1950 novel ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' by C. S. Lewis. A Narnian wolf, he is the Captain of the White Witch's Secret Police. In early American editions of the book, Lewis changed the name to Fenris Ulf (a reference to Fenrisúlfr, a wolf from Norse mythology), but when HarperCollins took over the books they took out Lewis' revisions, and the name ''Maugrim'' has been used in all editions since 1994. Maugrim is one of the few Talking Animals who sided with the Witch during the Hundred-Year Winter. Nikabrik in ''Prince Caspian'' indicates that Narnian wolves have no loyalty to the lion Aslan.

Neverwinter Nights (2002 Video Game)
''Neverwinter Nights'' is a third-person role-playing video game developed by BioWare. Interplay Entertainment was originally set to publish the game, but financial difficulties led to it being taken over by Infogrames, who released the game under their Atari range of titles. It was released for Microsoft Windows on June 18, 2002. BioWare later released a Linux client in June 2003, requiring a purchased copy of the game to play. MacSoft released a Mac OS X port in August 2003.

White Witch
Jadis is the main antagonist of '' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' (1950) and ''The Magician's Nephew'' (1955) in C. S. Lewis's series, ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. She is commonly referred to as the White Witch in ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', as she is the Witch who froze Narnia in the Hundred Years Winter. Some recent editions of the books include brief notes, added by later editors, that describe the cast of characters. As Lewis scholar Peter Schakel points out, the notes' description of Jadis and the Queen of Underland (the main antagonist of ''The Silver Chair'') "states incorrectly that the Queen of Underland is an embodiment of Jadis". Beyond characterising the two as "Northern Witches", Lewis's text does not connect them. See ''Lady of the Green Kirtle'' for further discussion. Character history Jadis was born on an unknown date long before the creation of Narnia. In ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' she is identified by a character as a descend ...
