[edit] Character Development
[edit] In The Silver Chair
When his mother is murdered he goes off in search of revenge and is captured by the Lady of the Green Kirtle. He was bewitched so that he could not remember anything from before his imprisonment, which he was made to think was a rescue from some unspecified danger. Searchers after the lost prince disappeared into nowhere at an alarming rate until King Caspian eventually forbade anyone else to do so, leaving Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, summoned by Aslan, to find him.
[edit] In The Last Battle
Rilian is dead at the start of the following book chronologically, The Last Battle, meaning he must have died some time between 2356, when Eustace and Jill help him, and 2555, when his descendant Tirian has taken over the throne.
