Title: Really Obscure Characters
Post by: Blaggut on May 21, 2016, 06:11:50 AM
Post here about those obscure characters that you liked or got your imagination going. The ones who merely got mentioned or whose presence lasted only a page or two.

My notable ones at that moment are the hares Windpaw, Bart Thistledown, Pennybright and Moonpaw from Salamandastron (they are the hares who defended their Mountain against Ferahgo and his horde).
Also we have a certain Lady Sable Brock from Mossflower, shame that she was mentioned only once through Brockhall's old writings. Only the fanfiction miracle would satisfy the need to know her better.

I had an obsession with Raventail, the ferret Chief from Marlfox, last year.
I still like him.

I'm not the only one obsessed with Bart?!

As much as he is cool and artistocratic, though, he isn't obscure enough. I think he even has a picture in the book. We need to get... Obscurererer!

What about that one crow that was a spy for Kharanjul's horde, only being mentioned once. Or the friar who was only mentioned but never had a part to play.

Wasn't there a beaver mentioned in Redwall?

Yeah, horses and livestock too.

I wish we'd gotten some sort of story on the Salamandastron rulers who preceded Stonepaw. Ceteruler, Spearlady Gorse, and others mentioned mummified in the hidden chamber in Lord Brocktree and Salamandastron. I guess the mystery is nice, because though the Redwall universe has a concrete beginning in the stories, the mention of these characters means that it goes much further back than the stories tell, and it goes on after the stories end, but I've always been curious about these old Badger Lords and Ladies, particularly Spearlady Gorse. I wouldn't have minded just a hint of something she did.

Other obscure characters I'm fascinated with: the Sleepers of Salamandastron. They seem to be equated to a sort of Black Ops squad (at least, that's what I imagined them to be). They're interesting, and I would've like to see them in more than just Outcast.

I personally like that smart mole from The Bellmaker. What's his name, Egbert? He was cool. Something completely different.

He was swanky indeed. Does anyone else remember the rope making bunny who's tribe got eaten by cannibal rats in Loamhedge?

Yes, he lived in a log. Cosbo... Something like that.

Cosbro I think. Or perhaps...

COSMO KRAMER?

How about...how embarrassing that I forgot his name...That awesome rat from Mattimeo that worked for Malkariss? Not Stonefleck...
I think his name started with an N Or something like it.

The Voice of the Host. Can you think of a more intimidating title for him? It sounds truly terrifying, even where I am just reading that my heart sank slightly. ;D

So if James tells someone to post something, would they be the Voice of the Host?

Yes. That might be my new official nickname for him, Gryphon is getting a little old. ;D
