Iorek Byrnison is an armoured bear (Panserbjorne) who currently resides in Svalbard. Iorek was found by Lyra living and working in Trullesund and became close friends with Lyra Belacqua and Lee Scoresby after journeying with them to Svalbard. The people of Trullesund had given Iorek spirits and taken his armour. Without his armour, Iorek was forced to work shaping metal in a workshop. He and Lyra had retrieved his armour and escaped, beginning their journey to Svalbard, where Iorek would later regain his rightful place as king.
Like all bears, Iorek is very intelligent, and cunning. He cannot be tricked. These traits proved to be very useful during their journey in the north, and lead to Iorek defeating Iofur as king.
Although he was hostile at first, Iorek has shown great compassion and love for Lyra, even when she thought she had betrayed him. Although though Lyra and Iorek had to part ways, they still remain very close.
