History Characters / Redwall

* ProphecyTwist: According to the dream, he'll never return to Redwall if he goes to Southsward. [[spoiler:Naturally, everyone assumes he's going to die. Instead, he chooses to stay in Southsward.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking

* BenevolentBoss: He's a reasonable and competent leader who takes care to be sure his men are well provisioned and get their fair share of whatever plunder is taken. The member of his band not only admire and respect him, but openly look down on Tsarmina for her cruel treatment of her own troops.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Notable as one of the major characters that averts this as well as BlackAndWhiteMorality. Verdauga is a mostly sane, harsh yet fair conqueror. He rules very much as a feudal overlord, levying taxes and dispensing judgement but being generally fair about it. He's still a ruthless conqueror though and Legend of Luke mentions how he chased Luke's tribe out of their home.

A ''very'' generic character who has next to no traits distinguishing him from any of the other heroes of the series

* BoringButPractical
* TheChampion

* TheGenericGuy
* GoodIsBoring

* MasterSwordsman
* TheScrappy: Seems to get hatred for being generic and dull.

%%* ImprobableAimingSkills

* CoolSword: The sword's appearance is rather plain. However, [[ThunderboltIron it was forged from a falling star]] [[UltimateBlacksmith by one of the most skilled metalworkers in Salamandastron's history,]] and will never wear, rust, dull or bend. Its perfection is remarked upon [[OnceAnEpisode Once A Book,]] and the Champion that doesn't like swords says it feels good in his paws. It is noted in ''Salamandastron'' that the sword is too large for shrews and — ironically, considering its maker — too small for badgers.
** Not really ironic, considering that it originally was a sword that was meant for a mouse to wield, and the hilt was the same one that was used for the sword before it was broken.

%%* SacrificialLion

* TheOwlKnowingOne: Subverted, although he has surprising good sense. His rambling about his mother seems to be a parody of this.

* TheBeserker: His last fight has Felldoh willy nilly slaughtering vermin all the while [[LaughingMad laughing manically]]. It's rather terrifying
%%* BloodKnight

* {{Foil:}} To Martin. Both headstrong, rebellious, leaders with a tendency towards berserker rage. Felldoh mentions Martin all the time, the two get along very well the few times they meet and characters constantly compare them both. However, [[ShadowArchtype Felldoh]] is a deliberate warning to Martin, an example of what can go wrong if he gives into his rage and desire for vengeance.

* HotBlooded

* PapaWolf

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Trunn's fascistic and cruel, believes he is the destined ruler of the world, and plans to enslave or annihilate the "lesser orders". He's AdolfHitler in a wildcat's skin.

[folder:Rakkety Tam]]

* [[Spoiler: GoOutWithASmile: He dies a pretty painfaul death, but succeeds in finding Mattimeo and the other children.]]

A badger from the plains who has an axe to grind with Slagar after the slaver fox kidnapped his daughter, Auma. Hopelessly lost in the woodlands, Slagar joins forces with Matthias and the Redwallers to recover their children and send Slagar to his grave.

* CoolOldGuy: He was already an old shrew at the start of ''Redwall''.

A rat captain in Cluny's horde, Frogblood is one of the warlord's recruiters, responsible for press-ganging fresh talent. He is slain by Matthias during the last battle of the war.

* BrokenBird: She goes through hell after her father's ship is captured by pirates.
* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly while still amnesiac. She's very defensive and hits Treerose for teasing her.

* WalkingTheEarth: Neither she nor Dandin can stay in one place for very long. They leave Redwall at the end of ''Mariel'', come home briefly at the end of ''The Bellmaker'', and then disappear again.

A skilled bellmaker whose work was commissioned by Rawnblade of Salamandastron, Joseph is the father of Mariel, and a prisoner of Gabool in ''Mariel of Redwall''. Surviving Gabool's murder attempt on him, Joseph founds a resistance movement dedicated to ridding the world of the searat king. In ''The Bellmaker'' he sets off for Southsward, after learning--in a dream sent by Martin the Warrior--that Mariel and Dandin have been captured by the Foxwolf.

* TheBigBad: Of the Redwall Abbey related subplot in ''Mariel''.

* HateSink: He's a lunatic who drives everyone away from him, including what family he has. It's stated he doesn't have a mate or child of his own, and no wonder.

* PetTheDog: The only character he ever shows any sign of kindness to is Warbeak.
* PsychopathicManChild: He's rather insane and childish.

The smug, condescending son of Feragho, Klitch is deeply dissatisfied with his father's leadership, and aims to turn the loyalty of the Corpsemaker's to himself. Out of his depth at warfare, Klitch hides his inadequacies behind an appropriately villainous swagger, aiming to impress rather than truly lead.

* MissingMom: It's never brought up, though.

!!Bremmun

!!Abbess Vale

!!Dumble

!!Thrugg

* FriendToAllChildren

!!Thruggann

* DyingAlone: After Thura catches the Dryditch Fever, Dingeye leaves him in to die by himself in the middle of the woods.

* OffWithHisHead: Dingeye gets beheaded by Dethbrush.

* VitriolicBestBuds: They snap and snark at each other but seem quite content, until [[DyingAlone the Dryditch Fever hits]].

* LeaveNoSurvivors: He intends to not only capture Redwall, but to kill every one of its inhabitants.

* [[Spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: In the TV series]]

** In the cartoon she takes Friar Hugo's place in the finale.

* TheManBehindTheCurtain: Malkariss is a crippled old polecat, who is unable to walk on his own. Hence the statue.
