Who is Tor the King from Perelandra and what is their importance?

Tor the King becomes the father of all mankind upon the victory of Ransom over the Un-Man. His character parallels the Biblical Adam in the Garden of Eden. Ransom is the savior of all mankind, which makes it possible for Tor to father all nations. Although we hear about Tor throughout the story, we do not meet him until the very end. Yet, his wishes keep the Queen from erring and going where Malelil has prohibited. It is the Queen's love for that makes the Un-Man's attempt at seducing her fail.
