Biography[]
Santelia received an invite to Svalbard to become the vice-chancellor of Iofur Raknison's planned university. Later he was defamed, according to him by P. Trelawney, and the bear king imprisoned him for malice and jealously.[1]
In prison, he met Lyra Belacqua and taught her about the culture of the panserbjørne, giving her the information she needed to help Iorek Byrnison become king of Svalbard.[1]
Santelia later wrote a book about his experiences in Svalbard entitled A Prisoner of the Bears.[2]
