Clothing: She wears a brown homespun cloak and a simple moss green tunic, belted at the waist with a burnt orange silk sash.

Weaponry: She wields a short dirk and a dagger for emergencies. However, she does not often use them as she has a tendency to forget what is the handle and what is the blade. Normally she just boxes.

Abbess Tyra Brooksong

Abbess Tyra Brooksong

Age: 47 seasons

Gender: Female

Species: Mouse

Appearance: Tyra has light, almost golden brown fur. She has unusually large ears and big, warm hazel eyes that, however kindly they may look, are capable of giving a steely stare.

Clothing: The normal green habit of a Redwaller plus a pair of round, steel framed glasses.

Weaponry: Tyra does not often go to pick up a weapon; she is normally a creature of peace. However, when the need arises, she considers herself quite a good shot with a bow and arrows.

Personality: Being Mother Abbess of Redwall, Tyra is rather clever and is always kind to her fellow Redwallers. But when someone is naughty, all it needs to quiet them down is one steely glance from the Mother Abbess. When her Abbey is in danger, she becomes quite warlike, leading Redwall into battle.

Backstory: Even as a Dibbun, Tyra showed signs of great leadership, often being at the head of the Dibbun army as it came to rob the kitchen. As she grew older, her leadership grew, and when old Abbot Dalton died, she was unanimously elected to be the new Abbess.

Clothing: Greydeath is clothed in Jargo's army's usual uniform: A jet black coat, brown leather belt and brown cloak.

Weaponry: Soldiers, captain or not, are allowed only a fire blackened scimitar and a sling with a pouch of stones. Archers, spear carriers and shield-beasts are permitted to carry extra weapons.

High Commander Jargo (Jargo the Mighty)

Age: 33 seasons

Gender: Male

Species: Polecat

Rank: High Commander

Personality: Jargo is every inch the warlord, inflicting cruel discipline upon his ranks. However, he will not stoop to trickery or cheating. He holds his honor in very high regard. Strangely, he exhibits mercy on captured and vanquished enemies, usually letting them take their lives and freedom.

Backstory: As a young 'un, Jargo was a lowly soldier in his army. He rose quickly through the ranks, mainly due to his utter ruthlessness in fighting. Eventually he gained control of the army, taking it westward to cooler, richer lands.

Lord Flamepaw

Name: Lord Flamepaw Trueblood, Lord of Nebelheim
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Species: Weasel
Weapons: Twin double-sided daggers that he calls Orae (the left hand dagger) and Flara (the right hand dagger), the right hand one was roasted in a Badger Lord's forge flame for a year and a day, giving making it always full of heat. Once it was complete, Flamepaw killed the Badger Lord who made it with it, then accidentally burned his own paw, singing his fur. The burn turned his paw pad red and the fur around it orangey-yellow. It was at this point that he changed his name to Flamepaw. He once attempted to create a sword using the same method as the dagger, but the Badger Lord who he forced to make it, the successor of the one who made Flara for him, was assassinated before it was completed.
Personality: Flamepaw is cruel and unforgiving, though he has an eye for talent. He is very ambitious and has a high opinion of himself, though he is careful of underestimating his opponents and overestimating himself. He is contemptuous of the 'petty squabbles' that the Verminlords of Greystone are constantly having, though he aspires to take Greystone for himself one day.
History: Flamepaw, once called Nordite, was once an important member of a noble house in the far off lands of Redwall, hailing from the city of Brockhall. Tired of trying to take Brockhall for himself, he left his children to fend for themselves and Brockhall for the Highsip Weasel House. Leaving the Redwall area, Flamepaw took five hundred of his own Weasel-Guard men-at-arms, all clad in his black tunics with his sigil, a hand on fire rising out of a blue ground, on their chests. He also took assorted other beasts and clad them in his livery. By the time he reached Nebelheim, or what was Nebelheim at the time, his small army had grown to the number of one thousand. Once he reached Nebelheim, he immediately set on the civilians and began a monarchy-like government. He named the men who had come with him the Flame Guard, then created two other forces. One, a more ordinarily, very large Nebelheim Grand Army, and two, the Nebelheim Militia, a lesser trained force. After that, Flamepaw began building an armada and capturing slaves.
Appearance: Flamepaw is a grey weasel with a red, yellow and orange right paw, and a blackened left ear. He usually wears trousers with a black coat with his sigil over his heart and a badger pinned to a wall with a dagger on his shoulders. His coat has thread-of-gold lines weaving and curling their way over his coat sleeves, forming into gold flames by his armpits. Flamepaw wears his twin daggers in dagger sheaths on his back, making him look very menacing while at the same time regal with his coat. His face usually wears a smug grin and searching, wary eyes.

Weapon: Huge battle axe set with emeralds and a black and forest green wire wrapped hilt. The edges of his blades are carved, one end says Hail Gaul, the other says Hail Sora. His mother and father were Gaul and Sora.  He polishes it every day.

After that, he disappeared into his forge room for five days, refusing to eat or drink, and came out with his battle axe, Hailer, and swore vengeance on the searats who killed his parents. When Jack the Lucky was orphaned, Roguestripe felt a connection to the baby hare, knowing what the hare would've been feeling should he have been older, and adopted him. Roguestripe loves Jack more than anything, though his position and the expectations of him cause Roguestripe to be a little more gruff and distant from his son than he would've liked.
Personality: He is gruff and serious, though he can have a good sense of humour if the time allows it and he is with people closer to equals. He brightens when he is around Jack, though he tries to hide it, as much as he wishes he didn't have to.

The crossguard is painted black and blade itself is covered in a red tooth pattern.
He also has a huge mace-and-chain, also with a gauged red leather wrapped hilt. The chain and ball of the mace are painted black and the spikes are painted red, which some say are to hide the blood. There are a few flamestones embedded on the ball.
And, of course, his claws and his teeth.

He always goes helmetless. His eyes are permanently tinged red from getting the bloodwrath, called the Wrath where he comes from. He wears his mace strapped on his belt and his sword on his back.

Flakhide spent the early years of his life fighting the vermin who raided his home and the alligators who lived nearby. Flakhide was exiled after the Wrath affected him in a peace treaty with the alligators, causing him to kill several of them and ending the treaty, and after the Wrath affected him in the middle of battle and he killed several comrades. Before his mother died, he had never succumbed to the Wrath once, but when she died he lost a little control. Once exiled, it just got worse. He left the Southern Swamps and traveled northward.
Personality: He used to be raucous and always happy, but since his exile and the death of his mother, he's almost always angry or sad. When alone, he cries to himself and mourns his mother, but his rage is immense and it's almost impossible to calm him. He hopes, deep inside his heart, that he will eventually recover.
