Scared townspeople as Iorek reclaims his armour Iorek told them that, for him to go and work for them, they must get him his armour back and then he would assist them in their campaign until either Lyra won or he died.

The two visited Iorek and Farder Coram talked to him fearlessly about how he came to work for the citizens. When Lyra Belacqua and the gyptians arrived in Trollesund, Coram van Texel and Lyra met up with Martin Lanselius who advised them to get an armoured bear to help their mission. They told him that he would continue to work for them until he had been punished enough for killing two men and destroying several buildings, although Lyra thought they'd probably never let him out. The townspeople made him work every day, making him promise to work until sunset sometimes, and then gave him his pay in food and spirits behind Einarsson's Bar. The townspeople would have shot him if they didn't want him for his skill in metalwork, being a bear.

However, the other bear had been drugged and would not back down when he was defeated. He fought against Hjalmur Hjalmurson in a ritual of dominance to win over a female bear. Iorek was the heir to the throne of Svalbard.
