Dandin was the abbey warrior and descendant of Gonff. Saxtus was Dandin's best friend who was very studious and intelligent. He later became the Abbot.

Saxtus was a bit of a Gary-Stu, while Dandin was much too rambunctious for my preferences. . . I don't know.

They were both Gary Stu's, Dandin more so than Saxtus. In my opinion.

I don't really see how Saxtus was a Stu. He didn't do anything. Suedom isn't just about a perfect personality, it also involves unrealistic skills. And from my recollection, Dandin has always been considered one of the weakest male protagonists (although that might have something to do with him being teamed up with Mariel, who did all of the fighting, with a rope).

I just don't remember Saxtus doing anything interesting. He did have that one moment when he said the poem which brought Mariel back, and he knew what Martin looked like, but other then that he didn't do anything, and was forgettable.

Dandin in Mariel of Redwall was kinda the same way. Though he does have his moments, like when he got sucked into the mud, and got captured by the pirates. But for the most part he didn't seem essential, because Mariel probably could have completed her quest without him. I liked him a lot more in the Bellmaker, I actually liked a lot of the characters a little more in the Bellmaker, it was just a better book. :P

Zwilt. I liked his weapon, I guess, and his physical description was cool.

Zwilt was awesome. I was so happy when I thought that he had killed Vilaya. ;D
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

The Skarzs

I was a little bit surprised, actually. But yeah, I liked that part too. (I also liked Vilaya's come back, but Zwilt still takes the spotlight.)

I find this choice difficult because I really didn't like either character. I feel like if Zwilt had actually been a real threat to the Blademaster he would have been more interesting. He was built up to be amazing and then he gets trumped immediately. Still at least he is a better sword fighter then some water rats and a hare farmer. ::)
