Nasty Persons
(Disclaimer:  these words are from Companion to Narnia by Paul F. Ford--his work, not mine!  I'm just borrowing it.)

The White Witch:  As the White Witch of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, she is responsible for the Hundred Years of Winter that falls on Narnia; as Jadis of The Magician's Nephew, she is the possessor of the Deplorable Word.  The two are one and the same: characterizations of evil which cannot really be killed but must be watched for and confronted over and over again.  Accaording to Mrs. Beaver, the White Witch is the offspring of a giant and the demon Lilith.  She is bad through and through; and she is especially villanous because she looks human, but has not a drop of human blood in her. When Lewis was writing The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, he had not yet conceived of The Magician's Nephew; thus, although he strives mightily to blend the two characterizations, there are loose ends and unanswered questions.  At the end of The Magician's Nephew, we are told that the Tree of Protection will keep the witch out of Narnia as long as it flourishes; meanwhile, she has fled to the North, "growing stronger in dark magic."  But by the time of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, she has managed not only to gain entrance into Narnia, but she has succeeded in gaining enough power over it to hold it in the enchantment of a winter without end.  This would imply that the Tree of Protection has either weakened, died, or been circumvented in some other way; or that Jadis has become such a master of the dark arts that she is able to overcome the Tree's effects.  All this must remain speculation, however, because we are never told what happened.  Another question that arises is how an inhuman witch became the last of a longline of kings and queens of Charn, when those kinds and queens were all humans.  Lewis' descriptionof the royalty Digory and Polly encounter frozen in position at the great hall of Charn is meant quite obviously to show the progression of corruption that occurred in this line, from kindness to cruelty to despair to depravity, culminating in the most evil of all, Jadis herself.  This corruption is only possible in human beings, as nonhumans (especially the combination of giant and demon) may be assumed to be bad from the start.

Queen of Underland:  The ruler of the underground kingdom that lies directly beneath Narnial she is also known as Queen of the Deep Realm, and the Lady of the Green Kirtle.  The poison-green dress she wears foreshadows her transformation into a shiny, geat, poisonous green serpent.  She is of the same kind as the White Witch; and (according to the oldest owl) one of the "same crew" of evil witches.  It is later concluded by Rilian and the wise animals and dwarfs that, just as the White Witch intended to rule Narnia with the Hundred Years of Winter, the Queen of Underland intended to rule Narnia through Rilian as slave-king in his rightful kingdom.  The eldest dwarf comments that "those Northern Witches always mean the same thing, but in every age they have a different plan for getting it."  She rides a white horse, Snowflake, whom Rilian says is worthy of a better mistress.  Like her sisters, she is beautiful and specializes in sweet seductions: the spells woven by her "sweet, quiet voice," and her sweet suggestion to the children and Puddleglum that they tell the giants at Harfang they have arrived for the Autumn Feast--which is actually an offer of themselves as the main course.  Her realm is an unhappy one populated by enslaved gnomes.  She first appears in serpent form, to kill the Daughter of Ramandu, Rilian' mother and Caspian's wife; and it is as a serpent she dies, at the hands of Eustace and the truly disenchanted Rilian.  At her death, all of Underland rejoices.

Nikabrik:  A Black Dwarf in Prince Caspian, the second voice Caspian hears upon regaining consciousness.  From his first appearance he shows the nature "soured by hate" that Caspian later attributes to him.  Naturally suspicious, he is for killing Caspian immediately but is prevented by Trumpkin and Trufflehunter.  He would do away with the half-dwarf Dr. Cornelius, whom he sees as a renegade.  But his greatest aggravation is Trufflehunter, the faithful badger.  Nikabrik is not only negative, he is a downright disbeliever.  When asked if he believes in Aslan, he answers that he beleives in anyone, be it Aslan or the White Witch, who will liberate Narnia.  This equating of Aslan's power with that of the Witch intensifies his confrontation with Trufflehunter, who sees the Witch as Narnia's worst enemy.  Nikabrik protests that she was good to the dwarfs, and for him this is all that matters: dwarf interests come first....Given a chance by Caspian to state his case, he calls all the stories of the Golden Age of Narnia into question; but he also says that should they be true, the Witch is to be turned to as one whose power outlasted that of the Kings and Queens.  Countered and crossed by everyone, Nikabrik finally explodes and attacks Trufflehunter.  He is killed by no-one-knows-whom....

The Tisroc:  The Tisroc in The Horse and His Boy is a very fat old man, and cruel: he has his third cook put to death for causing him slight indigestion; and he reproves Rabadash's "cowardice" with the statement that if the prince were no the Tisroc's son, his "life would be short and [his] death slow."  He is driven by the need for power, and tells his Grand Vizier, Ahoshta, that "sleep is not refreshing, because I remember that Narnia is still free."  Although his forces are defeated at Anvard, the Calormene desire for victory lives on; in Last Battle, the Calormene banner of the last Tisroc flies for a time from the battlements of the captured Cair Paravel.

Rabadash the Ridiculous:  The crown prince of Calormen during the Goldena Age of Narnia, the eldest of eighteen sons of the Tisroc, would-be suitor of Queen Susan ans would-be conqueror of Archenland and Narnia.  When first seen in The Horse and His Boy he is a tall, dark, and handsome young man, wearing a "feathered and jeweled turban on his head and an ivory-sheathed scimitar at his side."  His face bears an excited expression and his eyes and teeth have a fierce glint.  His name suggests his menacingly wild (rabid) and precipitous (dash) personality.  His experience with Aslan at Anvard changes him into what his people call him to his face--Rabadash the Peacemaker --and what they call him behind his back--Rabadash the Ridiculous.  Afterward, to be called a second Rabadash in Calormen is to be insulted.

Miraz:  The Telmarine king of Narnia, Prince Caspian;s uncle, and the husband of Prunaprismia.  Affectionate to Caspian only out of necessity, he is hoping for an heir of his own.  He spends as little time as possible with the young prince, and educates him only on the off chance that the boy may someday be king.  He is almost a stereotypical adult who does not believe in fairy tales, the possibility of talking animals, of anything that he sees as impractical (such as the idea of two kings and two queens ruling at the same time).  Miraz himself is a usurper.  Calling himself Lord Protector, he weeded out the great lords through hunting "accidents," dangerous assignments, and false charges of treason and madness.  When his own son is born he decides to murder Caspian, and spends the rest of Prince Caspian tracking him down.  Challenged to a monomachy by King Peter, he shows himself to be brave but irascible and vain.  Although Miraz's army has the advantage and he could easily win in that way, Lords Glozelle and Sopespian flatter him into accepting the duel.  He fights well but trips over a tussock and is stabbed to death by Glozelle.

Lords Glozelle and Sopespian:  [Glozelle is] A scheming Telmarine Lord, counselor to Miraz and Marshall of the Lists.  With characteristic Telmarine treachery, he stabs Miraz to death because of a personal insult.  It is presumed that Glozelle is killed by Peter's forces later in battle.  [Sopespian is] A[nother] scheming Telmarine Lord, counselor to Miraz and his Marshall of the Lists.  He is hacked to death by King Peter.

Shift:  An ancient, clever, ugly ape who lives by Caldron Pool in an otherwise uninhabited area of Lantern Waste.  The name "Shift" is indicative of his manipulative personality:  he is "shifty"--underhanded, sneaky, and a liar; and he has a great facility for "shifting" meaning--he redefines the meaning of freedom and Aslan to suit his purposes.  He is completely selfish and totally corrupt, and he degenerates perceivably and rapidly from his first conception of Puzzle as a false Aslan to his death at the hands of Tash....

Rishda Tarkaan:  The Calormene captain who joins with Shift in the plot to subjugate Narnia by means of the lie about the false Aslan.  He is obsequious and thoroughly corrupt; his first actions in Last Battle are to steal Tirian's crown and then to tell the lie that he has captured Tirian and Jewel by skill and courage.  He does not really believe in either Tash or Aslan, and says that Aslan means no more and no less than Tash.  He calls the dwarfs "children of mud" and offers them as a burnt sacrifice to Tash.  He is horrified by the sight of the real Tash, whose name he had invoked without faith, and disappears under the arm of the god to Tash's "own place," presumably hell.

Tash: The chief god of the Calormene pantheon; he is called by worshippers "Tash the inexorable, the irresistable."  He is a cruel , bloodthirsty go with a taste for human sacrifice.  Vaguely man-shaped, Tash has a vulture's head, four arms, and twenty fingers that end in cruel, curving talons.  A deathly smoke surrounds him and grass wilts under his step.  His voice is the "clucking and screaming" of a monstrous bird....Many Calormenes (with the notable exception of Emeth) pay only lip-service to their god, and when he actually shows up at the Stable they are terrified....
