Importance to the Novel

Iorek Byrnison is arguably one of the most important character in the Golden Compass. Although he may have seemed like nothing more than Lyra's mode of transportation, he was in fact much more. 

He was a friend to Lyra when she had no one else to trust. He was there to help Lyra and the Gyptians out of every unfortunate situation. He taught Lyra about the Panserbjorn, which later led to the rescue of Lord Asriel and the opportunity for Iorek to become king. 


Iorek becoming king was a proud moment for the bears of Svalbard.  The lives of all the bears were improved when Iofur was dethroned. They no longer had to live in filth, they could be true bears again.
