5	!!Laterose of Noonvale (Rose)
6	->'''Voiced by:''' Lindsey Connell
7	[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laterose_7842.jpg]]
8	A mousemaid who lives in Noonvale, searching for her brother, Brome.
9	----
10	* ActionGirl: She may not be a warrior, but she'll get right in on the action.
11	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the book, she dies on impact after being thrown hard to a wall by Badrang before Martin arrives. In the cartoon, she is stabbed by him during his final battle against Martin.]]
12	* IdenticalGrandson: Sort of. While Aubretia isn’t descended from her directly (as Rose obviously had no children at the time of her death), but they look so alike, they could be twin sisters.
13	* TheLostLenore: Martin develops feelings for her during their escape from and return to Marshank. [[spoiler:She is later killed by Badrang before the fort falls and the remaining slaves are freed.]]
14
15	!!Grumm Trencher
16	->'''Voiced by:''' Graham Haley
17	[[quoteright:193:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grumm_6288.JPG]]
18	A mole traveling with Rose.
19	----
20	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a soup ladle.
21	* ItsAllMyFault: The poor guy is clearly guilt-ridden over Rose’s death, even moreso than Brome, as she died saving him.
22	* SupremeChef: Cooks all sorts of delicious things - mostly soup, but he occasionally experiments, with tasty results.
23	* TeamChef: The one that most often cooks.
24	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Soup. Any kind will do.
25	* TunnelKing: Is described as a champion digger, and digs a tunnel that helps prisoners escape.
26
27	!!Brome
28	->'''Voiced by:''' Luca Perlman
29	[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brome_6954.JPG]]
30	Rose's younger brother.
31	----
32	* EnfanteTerrible: He is introduced as this, but doesn’t end up being a huge example.
33	* GuileHero: Proves this when he disguises himself as a rat, infiltrates Badrang's fortress, and singlehandedly frees the rest of the slaves without raising a weapon.
34	* ItsAllMyFault: Like Grumm, he feels some clear guilt over [[spoiler:Rose's death]].
35	* TheMedic: Becomes pretty skilled at medicine and becomes known as Brome the Healer.
36	* ThouShaltNotKill: Realizes that he could never kill anyone, though he does fight occasionally.
37
38	!!Felldoh
39	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlMukadam
40	[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felldoh_3546.JPG]]
41	A squirrel who is a slave at Marshank.
42	----
43	* TheBerserker: His last fight has Felldoh willy nilly slaughtering vermin all the while [[LaughingMad laughing manically]]. It's rather terrifying.
44	* TheBigGuy: Felldoh is quite burly looking for a squirrel, and he's a powerful close combatant for his physical strength.
45	* BloodKnight: Oh jeez. Felldoh is happiest when slaughtering Badrang's minions. He's noticeably dour otherwise, only smiling when he's fighting - especially in his last battle when he's ''laughing''.
46	* BornIntoSlavery: Unlike [[MadeASlave Martin]], Felldoh is implied to be this, as he mentioned being beaten by Badrang when he was little more than an infant.
47	* DefiantToTheEnd: Even as he was going to be killed by Badrang's troops, Felldoh didn't go down without a fight, managing to kill 20 of them armed with only wooden javelins.
48	* TheDogBitesBack: He gets a chance to fight Badrang, and proceeds to beat him up while giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
49	* FatalFlaw: His rage and unwillingness to ask for help.
50	* {{Foil}}: To Martin. As both of them are 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, [[ShadowArchetype Felldoh]] is a deliberate warning to Martin, an example of what can go wrong if the latter gives into his rage and desire for vengeance.
51	* JavelinThrower: His favored weapon.
52	* LastStand: [[spoiler:Badrang calls in a big group of his horde for help, and though Felldoh has no chance, he fights to the death.]]
53	* LeeroyJenkins: Is quite happy to be an OneManArmy, including charging Badrang single-handedly. [[spoiler:It eventually gets him killed.]]
54	* NotSoSimilar: He and Martin aren't that much different to each other in both temperance, rebellion against slavery, and leadership, with many other characters comparing them to each other throughout the book. Safe to say, the two of them get along very with each other at the beginning of the book and practically regard the other as a BestFriend. However, once the book starts to delve into their separate narratives, their actions on how to defeat Badrang become a mirror for each other.
55	* PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler:According to the other characters, he looks this way in death.]]
56	* RebelLeader: One of the leaders of the rebellion once the slaves meet up with the Rambling Rosehip Players.
57	* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:He throws away the advantage he had harrying Badrang's forces and picking them off one by one AND indirectly gets his comrades pinned down and nearly wiped out by Badrang's horde when they rush to help him because he tries to challenge Badrang to single combat. What's worse, the idea almost works, because the Tyrant does not want to appear cowardly before his soldiers, but Felldoh blows the whole plan at the last moment, by torturing Badrang, instead of delivering a killing blow as soon as he was down.]]
58	* SociopathicHero: As the result of his upbringing, Felldoh shows a very strong BloodLust streak towards his enemies, even laughing maniacally when killing most of Badrang's troops. Heck, it's only till death is where he actually looks peaceful.
59	%%TragicHero:

61	!!Keyla
62	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NoahReid
63	[[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/keyla_9433.JPG]]
64	A young otter - a slave at Marshank.
65	----
66	* RebelLeader: The closest thing the slave resistance has to a leader before they escape.
67
68	!!Druwp
69	[[quoteright:137:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/druwp_7479.JPG]]
70	A bankvole slave at Marshank.
71	----
72	* AdaptationalSelfDefense: In the book, [[spoiler:he tries to escape and Felldoh straight up executes him with a javelin to the back.]] In the corresponding scene in the animated series, [[spoiler:he tries to kill Barkjon, giving Felldoh no choice.]]
73	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Gets what's coming to him.]]
74	* TheMole: Badrang has him report on the slave resistance's activities.
75	* {{Slimeball}}: He's selfish, sleazy, and willing to sell out his fellow slaves just to save his own hide.
76	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most voles in the series are good or at least neutral. Druwp, on the other hand, is a clear-cut antagonist.
77
78	!!Pallum
79	->'''Voiced by:''' Deborah Odell
80	A hedgehog who travels with Rose, Martin, and Grumm after being freed from the pygmy shrews' slavery.
81	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pallum_6906.JPG]]
82	----
83	* GenderFlip: Male in the book, but female in the television adaptation.
84	* ThouShaltNotKill: He'll fight if he needs to, but doesn't actively try to kill. He later becomes known as "Pallum the Peaceful".
85
86	!!Badrang the Tyrant
87	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DiegoMatamoros
88	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-badrang_8367.jpg]]
89
90	A former corsair and self-described tyrant, Badrang the stoat aims to become ruler of the entire Eastern Coast. To that end, he enslaves a veritable army of woodlanders, putting them to work erecting an impregnable fortress known as Marshank, which will defend the coastline from his rivals. In the process he captures a young Martin the Warrior and relieves him of his father's sword, taking it for himself. Prone to putting on airs, and convinced of his own superiority, Badrang trusts no one, least of all his former partner-in-crime, Tramun Clogg.
91	----
92	* AccidentalMurder: Badrang wasn't intending to kill Rose, just throw her off of him. It was her impact with the wall that did her in. Now, this being Badrang, it's not like he'd be disappointed in this result, but his dialogue makes it clear he's just trying to get away from her. It's far from accidental in the animated adaptation, where he very deliberately and spitefully stabs her to death with Martin's own sword.
93	* AdaptationalBadass: In the cartoon, where he's much more physically imposing and capable, and actually gives Martin a proper fight at the end and comes very close to killing him. Contrast the novel, where he lasts less than a paragraph, and gives the mouse nothing but superficial wounds before begging for his life in vain.
94	* AdaptationalVillainy: The cartoon has Badrang, rather than Vilu Daskar, be the pirate captain that Luke set out to battle, and shows him sinking the ships of his rivals in much the way Daskar and the ''Goreleech'' do in ''Legend of Luke''.
95	* BadassCape: Wears a blue cape in the novel, the artwork, and the television show.
96	* BigBad: Of ''Martin the Warrior''.
97	* BigBadWannabe: Not within ''Martin the Warrior'', where he is the BigBad, but within the context of the series as a whole. Badrang wants to be Tyrant of the East Coast, but his "horde" consists of little more than his old pirate crew, swelled with a few new recruits, and he never even completes his fortress, dying in a slave revolt before his dreams of conquest can even get off the ground. When you contrast this with Tsarmina, who succeeds him as Martin's main antagonist, or any of the other villains who actually managed to reign as kings for a few years, he starts to look decidedly unimpressive--which is rather the point.
98	* BoisterousWeakling: Badrang was, in theory at least, a feared corsair, and he certainly behaves as though this were the case. In practise, however, he's manhandled by Felldoh, only narrowly outfoxes Clogg, and manages to inflict only the lightest of wounds on Martin before being slain. This is averted in the cartoon, where he lives up to his reputation in his final duel with Martin.
99	* CardCarryingVillain: He doesn't call himself "The Tyrant" because he thinks it's good for his public image.
100	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Tsarmina, who chronologically succeeds him as Martin's worst enemy. Badrang's a jumped-up corsair who wants to be treated like an aristocrat, and whose fearsome reputation as a fighter is belied by his actual record in combat, while Tsarmina's a seemingly prissy princess who degenerates into a slavering berserker and gives Martin the fight of his life.
101	* CoolSword: He's the only villain to hang onto Martin the Warrior's sword for an entire novel, only losing it during his last battle with the hero. Though at the time it was technically Luke the Warrior's sword, having not yet been reforged into the talisman of the later books.
102	* DesperationAttack: When fighting Felldoh to show off for his troops and assuage his own pride, Badrang was humiliated and badly beaten, never even touching the squirrel. During the final Battle for Marshank, with his back against the wall and knowing it's do or die, he puts up a far more impressive performance, knocking out Grumm, killing Rose, and inflicting some injuries on Martin before being slain. It's stated in book that Badrang's strength is born of desperation--he knows he's dead if he doesn't get out of Marshank and his fear makes him more dangerous than he ever was before.
103	* DirtyCoward: In the book, where Badrang is an utter failure in combat and dies begging for his life. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with the animated version who is an AdaptationalBadass and comes close to killing Martin.
104	* EvilVersusEvil: With Tramun Clogg, whom he once betrayed and left to die. The damage they cause to one another with their feud ends up being a blessing in disguise for the resistance.
105	* InformedSpecies: Along with being an AdaptationalBadass, the animated version is designed to look taller, more muscular, and with grey fur and pointed ears, making him look a lot more like a wolf than a stoat.
106	* KarmicDeath: Killed with the sword he stole by the mouse he stole it from and enslaved, and whose girlfriend he had just murdered.
107	* LargeAndInCharge: The [[AdaptationalBadass animated version]] is considerably taller and more muscular than most mustelid vermin in the show, including all of his henchmen.
108	* ManBitesMan: During his last duel with Martin, Badrang bites the mouse on the shoulder, tearing a chunk out of him.
109	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: He's called "The Tyrant" for a ''reason.''
110	* OhCrap: His reaction when he realizes that a good percentage of the army fighting him are his former slaves - slaves he had beaten and starved - and that they're probably on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
111	* SlobsVsSnobs: The snob to Tramun Clogg's slob.
112	* SmugSnake: Pretty proud of his fortress and position, but when things finally start going downhill for him, his only thought is to flee - and, at least in the novel, he goes out begging for his life.
113	* StarterVillain: He's the BigBad of ''Martin the Warrior'', but in Martin's overall story he's this, with Tsarmina as the FinalBoss.
114	* TalkLikeAPirate: Badrang can speak in corsair slang but hates it.
115	* TokenMotivationalNemesis: Badrang's the one who kidnapped Martin, killed his grandmother, enslaved his people, and eventually, killed his girlfriend. He's also dead by the end of ''Martin the Warrior'' and Martin canonically goes on to face much deadlier and more important foes.
116	* VillainousBreakdown: All the fight goes out of Badrang after his OhCrap moment, and he frantically tries to find a way to escape his fortress as the resistance closes in.
117	* VillainsWantMercy: Begs Martin for mercy when he loses, but since he [[spoiler:just killed Rose]], you can imagine how well that turns out.
118	* WickedCultured: Deliberately affects an upperclass manner of speech in order to put his corsair past behind him.
119	* WouldHurtAChild: Ties Martin to the top of the fortress wall so that he'll die either in the storm or from birds the next morning. Felldoh also mentions that he was beaten by Badrang when he was not more than an infant.
120
121	!!Cap'n Tramun Josiah Cuttlefish Clogg (Cap'n Tramun Clogg)
122	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnStocker
123	[[quoteright:169:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clogg_2985.JPG]]
124
125	Badrang's one-time partner, Tramun Clogg is a grossly fat pirate stoat with an axe to grind against the tyrant of Marshank. Arriving on the Eastern Coast, Clogg attempts to wrest control of Marshank from Badrang, starting a war that, in the end, only helps the rebellious slaves.
126	----
127	* AffablyEvil: He's a bad guy, but he's right cheerful about it and willingly gives a drink to Ballaw.
128	* TheAlcoholic: Enjoys his drinks; Badrang once tries to poison him by putting a bottle near him when he's sleeping. Just take a look at the picture! Also, in the first episode of the third season in the animated series, he does a brief dance in front of his crew. In all honesty, it looks like he may have had one too many at that point.
129	* BenevolentBoss: To the point where, even after he's defeated, his crew refuse to say anything bad about him, admitting they only changed sides to Badrang out of pragmatism.
130	* EvilVersusEvil: With Badrang.
131	* FatSlob: In contrast to the WickedCultured Badrang, Tramun Clogg makes no effort to hide his poor table manners, nor his coarse hygiene.
132	* FreakOut: He ''loses it'' when Badrang [[spoiler:sets his ship ablaze]]. Specifically, he starts hacking at the fortress gates with his cutlass, kicking with his boots, and even ''biting'' the sturdy timber while bawling out death threats.
133	-->'''Clogg''': I'll rip yer liver 'n' lights out an' feed 'em to the crabs! I'll cut off'n yer head an' throw it in yer face! I'll string up yer tripes fer riggin'! I'll pickle yer tail in burnin' brine! I'll...I'll...''Yaaahaaagh!!''
134	* NeverLearnedToRead: Signs the peace treaty with an "X," which fits with his lower-class characterization.
135	* OverlyLongName: Most vermin have single-word two-syllable names; not good enough for him, evidently. He's also the only one shown to have anything resembling a normal human name ("Josiah").
136	* PyrrhicVictory: He ''does'' end up ruling Marshank by the end...the only problem is, [[spoiler:all the other vermin are dead, and he's been left insane thanks to his head injury from Badrang]].
137	* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:He's rather crazy by the end. Taking a harsh blow to the head may have left him with brain damage.]]
138	* SlobsVsSnobs: His entire war with Badrang comes off as a villainous version of this, with fat, drunken Clogg as the slob, and snooty, arrogant Badrang as the snob.
139	* SmarterThanYouLook: Clogg looks and even acts like a dumb slob, but Badrang's rather racist beliefs stoats are far more cunning than other beasts clearly came from somewhere. Badrang notes several times Clogg is far more dangerous and cunning than he lets on.
140	* SpannerInTheWorks: Clogg ruins ''everything'' for Badrang, with his siege of Marshank enabling the slave revolt that the Tyrant might otherwise have put down.
141	* TalkLikeAPirate: Always speaks in corsair slang, much to Badrang's disgust.
142	* TapOnTheHead: Averted - the blow he takes from Badrang near the novel's climax [[spoiler:is implied to have left him with permanent brain damage]].
143	* TheUnfought: Survives the events of the novel, but escapes being a KarmaHoudini by dint of [[spoiler:having gone quite thoroughly insane thanks to his head injury. Not to mention by this point, he's lost his ship, his crew, and his position as a feared corsair.]]
144	* VillainousFriendship: Clogg's very fond of his crew and they of him. When they switch over to Badrang, Clogg is extremely upset--and Boggs, Crosstooth, and Gruzzle all assure him it's nothing personal; they're just trying to stay alive.
145
146	!!Crosstooth
147
148	A corsair fox in Clogg's crew, Crosstooth switches his services over to Badrang after the pirate stoat is defeated by the Tyrant. An experienced fighter, Crosstooth does a lot of damage during the battle for Marshank, before being slain by Martin and Queen Amballa.
149	----
150	* CunningLikeAFox: He's a lot smarter than Clogg.
151	* TheDragon: He's never explicitly described as such, but he seems to have been Clogg's first mate.
152	* VillainousFriendship: With Cap'n Clogg. Even after switching sides to Badrang, Crosstooth, like the rest of Clogg's true, don't have anything bad to say about their former captain.
153
154	!!Rowanoak
155	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EllenRayHennessy
156	[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rowanoak_4385.JPG]]
157	A badger and one of the leaders of the Rambling Rosehip Players.
158	----
159	* TheBigGuy: Since she's a badger, she's rather large and strong compared to everyone else, and she's the one pulling/pushing the cart all the time.
160	* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Says this to the Players and slaves when all hope seems lost.
161	%%* TeamMom: To the Players.
162
163	!!Ballaw de Quincewold
164	->'''Voiced by:''' Andrew Gillies
165	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ballaw_4815.JPG]]
166	A hare and one of the leaders of the Rambling Rosehip Players.
167	----
168	* LargeHam: All hares are, to a point, but he's one in particular as he's also an actor.
169	%%* PluckyComicRelief
170	* SdrawkcabAlias: Uses the name "Tibbar" ("Rabbit" backwards) when dealing with the corsairs.
171
172	!!Celandine
173	[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celandine_1981.JPG]]
174	A squirrelmaid member of the Rambling Rosehip Players.
175	----
176	* DamselInDistress: Plays the part of one in a show, and when she gets lost, the first thing she does is pitifully call everyone's names and then cry.
177	* LargeHam: Extremely hammy in both her performances and real life.
178	* NonActionGuy: When everyone else is training for battle, she sniffs that they're all just going to get hurt or get rough paws from handling the weapons. She gets put on kitchen duty instead.
179	* TheTease: Flirts with everyone - another of the Players jokes that she's even seen Celandine fluttering her eyelashes at butterflies.
180
181	!!Queen Amballa
182	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TraceyMoore
183	The ruler of a tribe of pygmy shrews.
184	----
185	* DotingParent: Her coddling is the reason Dinjer is the way he is. After he's almost killed, however, she finally scolds him for being TheMillstone in his own rescue.
186	* InSeriesNickname: "Ballamum". It seems to be a title in the shrews' dialect.
187	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's quite nasty to any non-shrews, enslaving them and making them care for bratty children. When Martin saves her son, she happily lets the heroes go free, giving him her own sword, and fights in the final battle.
188
189	!!Dinjer
190	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dinjer_701.JPG]]
191	The son of Queen Amballa.
192	----
193	* DisappearedDad: His father was carried off by the same gannet who almost eats him.
194	* SpoiledBrat: Gets everything he wants, has no manners, likes tormenting his mother's prisoners and nobody dares lay a paw on him.
195
196	!!Polleekin
197	[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polleekin_5644.JPG]]
198	An elderly mole who Rose, Martin, Grumm, and Pallum encounter during their travels.
199	----
200	%%* CoolOldLady
201	* {{Seers}}: She knows/predicts things, though she's not sure how or why.
202	* SupremeChef: She makes fantastic desserts.
203
204	!!The Warden of Marshwood Hill
205	[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warden_1769.JPG]]
206	A heron who rescues the heroes from a group of reptiles.
207	----
208	* AllCrimesAreEqual: Try to eat fellow travelers? You'll be eaten instead! Make fun of the Warden? Get threatened with the same fate.
209	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He's the most deadly fighter in Marshwood, earning him the title.
210	* CarnivoreConfusion: One of the few carnivorous characters to actually ''avert'' this trope.
211	* CatchPhrase: I AM THE LAW!
212	* IAmTheNoun: "I am the law!"
213	* ImAHumanitarian: In a world where eating any living creature besides fish is considered cannibalism, he counts, as he eats reptiles and amphibians.
214	* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: As he likes to point out, he ''is'' the law in Marshwood, and he enforces it with his dagger beak.
215	* TeamDad: [[spoiler:With the help of Boldred the owl, becomes this to the Gawtrybe and leads them into battle against Badrang.]]
216
217	!!The Gawtrybe
218	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gawtrybe_3118.JPG]]
219	A group of uncivilized squirrels that harrasses Martin, Rose, Grumm, and Pallum on Boldred's mountain.
220	----
221	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: The best fighter becomes leader.
222	* BloodKnight: Violence is a game for them, and that's why they decide to join the army opposing Badrang.
223	* HazyFeelTurn: It's implied that their chief Wakk/Wakka was the only Gawtrybe who was knowingly malevolent and that they'll become less villainous as his influence fades and Boldred and the Warden work harder to keep them in line while teaching them right from wrong, but it'll take some time and effort.
224	* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Manchildren]]: They only want to play, and are amused by pain and death, be it their "playmates" or one of their own tribe - but it's implied most of them simply don't know any better.
225	* TokenEvilTeammate: They're eventually recruited into Martin's army, despite their previous attempts to kill him and his companions. They join partly because Boldred and The Warden make them and partly because they figure it'll be fun.
226	* TribalFacePaint: Some of them wear this in the animated series.
227	* WackyWaysideTribe: A hostile variety.
228
229	!!Rotnose and Fleabane
230
231	A pair of weasels who are common soldiers in Badrang's army. Their main role is as guards keeping Martin, Brome and Felldoh imprisoned.
232	----
233	* CompositeCharacter: In the animated series, they appear in more scenes, in place of other, more minor, vermin characters.
234	* MauveShirt: Get several scenes (and a few more in the animated series) before they're both killed off in the final battle.
235	* MeaningfulName: Rotnose's shnoz has quite an unhealthy blue hue to it.
236	* MookPromotion: '''Implied'''. Fleabane's promotion is never shown, but he is shown leading other soldiers under Badrang's command, which coincides with when all of Badrang's other lieutenants have all been killed off.
237	* WickedWeasel: Are weasels, and are bad guys.
