Centaurs or fauns?

This is actually an easy choice: Centaurs.

Wise counselors, fierce warriors, brave leaders, humble servants. Whenever they appear, they always feel very parental, very trustable, very good with advice.

I know Oreius was made for the movie (and I have an explanation for why his name isn't a normal centaur name too), but I really love him, love to imagine how he became a father figure to Peter and Edmund especially, not just the general of their armies and their swordmaster, but also their friend and a trusted confidante.

Equally I love that in the movies Glenstorm is a descendant of Oreius, and so I imagine that the great two-handed sword he carries is the twice-reforged sword Oreius carried a thousand years earlier. (I love the way they're armed in the movies, especially the two-handed swords that feel like legends in themselves, feel like they're passed from father to son through generations.) Also I just KNOW Peter commanded Glenstorm to watch over Caspian as his own son (and Glenstorm lost a son in the raid on Miraz's castle), just like Oreius had done for him. Imagine Glenstorm and Windmane looking out for Caspian, teaching him and making sure he eats enough and gets wounds seen to, and talking about him at night before they sleep, just like they worry over their other two sons, just like parents.
