History Characters / RedwallMarielOfRedwall

* GoldTooth: Gabool's incisors have been knocked out and replaced with gold teeth studded with emeralds.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: A [[WhipItGood large ship's rope]] with knots in it. She eventually develops her own system of complicated knotwork that can be used to weaponize almost any rope.

* OutOfFocus

The commander of the ''Darkqueen'' and one of Gabool's original eight captains, Saltar was a corsair hook fighter with an ugly reputation. Coming upon Mariel and Joseph's ship, the ''Periwinkle'' Saltar captured it, killed most of the crew, and sold Mariel and Joseph to Gabool as slaves. When Gabool murdered Saltar's brother, Bluddrigg, the searat captain returned to Fort Bladegirt, and was slain in a duel with Gabool.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Gabool is quite clearly messed up in the head; his delusions, vivid audio/visual hallucinations, and general paranoia seem to point in the direction of schizophrenia.

* KnowsTheRopes: Her WeaponOfChoice is a piece of rope with two knots tied in it.

* KnifeNut: In ''Bellmaker'', where he's armed with a set of daggers.

* KnifeNut: Wears several daggers and knives in addition to his signature curved sword.

* SimpleStaff: His weapon of choice.

** [[spoiler: She served as the personal slave/servant of Gabool, aka the AxCrazy pirate king for a number of seasons, before she was thrown off a cliff into the sea, where she floated on a spar of driftwood that smacks her on the head (leading to LaserGuidedAmnesia about her slavery and childhood), before being deposited on a sandy wasteland of a beach, where she is promptly attacked by seagulls]].

* HairTriggerTemper: You better believe it.
* HotBlooded: Mariel is always ready to fight anyone, even when it gets her into serious trouble. Seagulls, toads, you name it. [[spoiler: She even bites one of the searats that originally captured Joseph's ship, and killed him!]]

A descendent of Gonff the Mousethief, Dandin is a troublemaker who doesn't quite fit in at Redwall Abbey. Taking up Martin the Warrior's sword, Dandin leaves the Abbey with Mariel, aiming to stop Gabool the Wild and put an end to the threat of the searat kings. With Gabool defeated, Dandin, still restless, returns Martin's sword to the Abbey, before setting off for Southsward with Mariel, and getting caught up in the war against the Urgan Nagru.

* OlderAndWiser: In ''The Bellmaker''

* YouDirtyRat: A searat, like all Gabool's captains.

* FedToTheBeast: He dies by being thrown the Skrabblag the scorpion.

* DeadpanSnarker

* TheNotLoveInterest: For Dandin.

* TheNotLoveInterest: With Mariel.

* BewareMyStingerTail

* PowerPincers

* FedToTheBeast: How he meets his end.

* PragmaticVillainy: What he wants to pursue, but his bloodthirsty tendencies make him NotSoDifferent from Gabool.

* DefiantToTheEnd: In contrast to a lot of the series' villains, Riptung never contemplates surrender, and his last act is to scream his FamousLastWords in Dandin's face.
* FamousLastWords: A classically villainous "You'll never take me alive."

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Their scuttling of the ''Darkqueen'' is what promtps the searats to return to Redwall and is why the Abbey ends up under attack. If they had left the ''Darkqueen'' in sailing condition then the rest of Greypatch's crew would have sailed out to sea and, under the less competent leadership of Bigfang, would have likely been sunk or captured by the rest of Gabool's captains.

* CuteButCacophonic: Hon Rosie very nice and friendly, but goodness, her ''laugh''... Even the reader gets to see just how bad it is if you listen to the audio version.

* TheStarscream: Wondered if Flogga, or any of the other captains were planning to rebel against Gabool, and seemed interested in joining in if they were.

* {{Natural Weapon}}: His tail and pincers.

* TheStarscream: While he doesn't usurp Gabool's throne, and, in fact, never tries to, he still successfully betrays Gabool. And certainly pushes him to sidelines as a villain, by actively going out and threatening Redwall, while Gabool sits on his trone and goes progressively insaner.

* {{The Insomniac}}: Cannot sleep due to nightmares, which majorly contributes to his mental breakdown.

* {{Orcus on his Throne}}: He's never even aware that Mariel and her friends are after him-- and by the time they confront him is too mad to even care.

* SimpleStaff: His weapon of choice.

* HeroicLineage: Descended from Gonff. Specifically, he's Gonff's great-grandson.
* OlderAndWiser: In ''The Bellmaker''
