History Characters / RedwallTriss

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: From what we know of him, Sarengo fits this bill more than any other villain in the series. He took on a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent fully-grown adder]], alone and unarmed, and ended in a ''MutualKill''.

* EvilVirtues: [[VillainousValour Valor]]. Most villains in Redwall would turn tail and run upon ''seeing'' an adder, never mind being disarmed by one. Sarengo? ''[[{{Determinator}} He kept fighting]]'', even while dying from her venom.

* CannibalClan: Pretty much. They're a family of predators who devour other sentient beings for both nutrition and amusement, live in a concealed lair off the beaten path, and follow in the footsteps of their equally predatory mother.

* HeroKiller: The most dangerous antagonists in the book, bar none. They kill a robber stoat, a crow, Ovus and Bluddbeak, Plugg Firetail, one of Princess Kurda's Ratguards, ''and'' Shogg, before dying, the latter two while fighting Kurda and Triss' entire forces.
* ImAHumanitarian: They eat other sentient beings.

* TerribleTrio: As a set of unnaturally conjoined triplets they're this by default, with Zassaliss as TheLeader (and contender for BigBad of the novel) while Harssacss and Sesstra act as his lieutenants.

* VillainousFriendship: While he originally planned to kill Bladd along with Kurda, he starts developing a liking for the Prince, attempting to teach him to be a real Freebooter. When Bladd is killed Plugg seems sorry about it and tells Kurda that her brother had more guts than she'll ever possess.

* PlayfulOtter

* SacrificialLamb

* LightningCanDoAnything: Like fry him to a crisp.

* AnAxeToGrind: Ends up taking Plugg Firetail's battleaxe for his own after [[spoiler:the original owner is eaten by the adders.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Favours the battleaxe.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Agarnu's father was a conquering warlord, he himself is a local tinpot dictator, his daughter is a sadist with an inflated sense of her own ability, and his son's a half-mad imbecile. What's more, Agarnu left his father, Sarengo, to die, and hates his daughter, Kurda. Kurda hates Agarnu equally, and treats her brother, Bladd, like crap. Riftun assumes that Bladd is planning to betray Kurda, but we never get to find out if this is true or not.

* MookLieutenant

* SuperDrowningSkills: He doesn't know how to swim [[spoiler: and ends up dying because of it. Being a FatBastard didn't help keep him afloat either.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: From what we know of him, Sarengo fits this bill more than any other villain in the series. He took on a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent fully-grown female adder]], alone and unarmed, and ended in a ''MutualKill''.

* EpicFlail: His weapon of choice. Not that he ended up using it. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome Or needing it.]]
* EvilVirtues: [[VillainousValour Valor.]] Most villains in Redwall would turn tail and run upon ''seeing'' an adder, never mind being disarmed by one. Sarengo? ''[[{{Determinator}} He kept fighting,]]'' even while dying from her venom.
* GeniusBruiser: He didn't just LeeroyJenkins his way into Berussca's lair, oh no. He scouted it out first, making a plan that would have worked [[SpannerInTheWorks if not for]] [[DirtyCoward his son Agarnu.]]
* MutualKill: With Berussca, an adder. Yes, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking an ADDER.]]

* VillainousValour: Biggest example in the series. Sarengo was a brave, deadly fighter, and managed to kill an adder with his teeth.

* KingpinInHisGym: Like the trope's namesake, she loves to practice with her saber. [[spoiler:Eventually deconstructed. Kurda's never been in a real swordfight in her life, and when they start fighting for real, Triss hands Kurda her ass.]]

* {{Sadist}}: The most openly sadistic member of her family, to the point where it disturbs her father and brother alike.

* KindheartedSimpleton: Bumbling, simple-minded, and prone to mis-hearing what others say... and he's a pretty nice guy, despite his profession.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Most of them are shown to be very inconsiderate of each other's well being. Agarnu left his father, Sarengo, to die, and hates his daughter, Kurda. Kurda hates Agarnu equally, and treats her brother, Bladd, like crap. Riftun assumes that Bladd is planning to betray Kurda, but we never get to find out if this is true or not.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Agarnu's father was a conquering warlord, he himself is a local tinpot dictator, his daughter is a sadist with an inflated sense of her own ability, and his son's a half-mad imbecile.

* WickedWeasel: An albino ferret, and heir to the throne of a kingdom that runs on slavery.

* {{Kaiserreich}}: Downplayed. The book is set in medieval Europe, without much regard to specific, real life nations, but the Pure Ferrets are still a royal family with German accents.

A royal family of evil, albino ferrets with German accents. They rule the land od Riftgard, and are major antagonists in the book.
