Lofur

Lofur is a fictional character from the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
He is a panserbjørn, which is a race of intelligent, armoured polar bears that live in the Arctic regions of Lyra's world.
Lofur is known for being the usurper king of Svalbard, who deposed the rightful ruler, Iorek Byrnison, by tricking him into killing another bear and then stealing his armour.
Lofur is also known for his obsession with human culture and religion, which he tries to imitate by wearing lavish clothes, jewellery, and even having a fake dæmon.
A dæmon is a manifestation of a person's soul in animal form, which is something that only humans have in Lyra's world.
Lofur's fake dæmon is a stuffed doll that he carries around and pretends to talk to.
Lofur is portrayed as a vain, cruel, and power-hungry tyrant, who allies himself with the Magisterium, a theocratic organisation that seeks to suppress free inquiry and control the multiverse.
Lofur is eventually defeated by Iorek Byrnison, who returns to Svalbard with the help of Lyra Silvertongue, a young girl who has a special ability to read the alethiometer, a device that can reveal the truth of any question.
Iorek challenges Lofur to a ritual combat for the throne, and manages to kill him by ripping off his lower jaw.

Lofur is a character from the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
He is also known as Iofur Raknison, the king of the panserbjørne, a race of intelligent polar bears who live in the Arctic regions of a parallel world.

Lofur became the king of the panserbjørne by usurping the throne from the rightful heir, Iorek Byrnison, with the help of Marisa Coulter, a human agent of the Magisterium, the oppressive religious authority of that world.
Lofur was obsessed with human culture and wanted to have a dæmon, a physical manifestation of a person's soul that takes the form of an animal.
He also wished to be baptized by the Church and become a human himself.

Lofur ruled over the island of Svalbard, where he built a palace of stone and decorated it with gold and silver ornaments.
He also enforced human customs among his subjects, such as wearing clothes and armour, and forbade them from following their natural instincts.
Lofur was a powerful and cunning bear, but also vain and gullible.
He was eventually challenged and defeated by Iorek Byrnison in single combat, with the help of Lyra Belacqua, a human girl who tricked Lofur into believing she was Iorek's dæmon.

Lofur's character is a contrast to Iorek Byrnison, who represents the true nature of the panserbjørne: honourable, loyal, and fierce.
Lofur's desire to be human is also a critique of the human arrogance and corruption that pervades the world of His Dark Materials.
