An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/8o1p8DBc7tTqR4sOpNWJXA==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Iofur Raknison was large and powerful, even for a panserbjørn, but the thing that truly set him apart was that he thought like a human. Unlike other bears he kept secrets, used deceit and sought power, but more than this he wished to have his own dæmon and be baptized a Christian, making himself truly equal to the humans he emulated. This obsession led him to carry a human-shaped doll as a surrogate dæmon, his logic seemingly being that since humans have animal-shaped dæmons, bears would have human-shaped ones.

abstract
  • Iofur Raknison was large and powerful, even for a panserbjørn, but the thing that truly set him apart was that he thought like a human. Unlike other bears he kept secrets, used deceit and sought power, but more than this he wished to have his own dæmon and be baptized a Christian, making himself truly equal to the humans he emulated. This obsession led him to carry a human-shaped doll as a surrogate dæmon, his logic seemingly being that since humans have animal-shaped dæmons, bears would have human-shaped ones. Iofur's human-like behaviour damped some aspects of his bear nature, most notably his ability to see through trickery. This proved his undoing when he was tricked by both Lyra Silvertongue and Iorek Byrnison.
