==Biography==
Lee Scoresby was a skilled "aëronaut" balloonist from the country of Texas with an arctic hare dæmon named Hester. He first met Iorek Byrnison when he is twenty-four. Later, he is hired by John Faa and the Gyptians to aid in their mission to save the kidnapped children; following the rescue, he helps transport Lyra to Svalbard. Sometime afterwards, he pledges to help the witches in their fight against the Magisterium and sets out to find Stanislaus Grumman. Grumman, also known as Jopari or John Parry, is a shaman and travels with Lee into the world of Cittàgazze. Lee gives his life fighting Magisterium soldiers, allowing John Parry to reach his goal. Following their deaths, Lee and Parry fight Spectres after they are released from the Land of the Dead. After this task is done, Lee allows himself to dissolve so that his atoms can be mixed with the atoms of Hester and his other loved ones.
==Personality==
Lee was non-violent and had consistent ethics. He would always honour the contracts that he made with individuals who hired his balloon and even worried, before his death, whether his duties for the gyptians had been completed. Lee despised killing other humans, doing so sparingly and only where he needed to. Every time he shot a soldier who was coming to kill him, he felt sorry for them, telling his dæmon they were the same as himself and deserved to live on.
==Trivia==
*Philip Pullman had singled out Sam Elliott's performance as one the film got 'just right'.
