History Characters / RedwallSalamandastron

* TheArcher: His choice of weapon.

* TheArcher: He loves playing with a bow and arrow, however, this gets him into trouble toward the start of the book, and even gets him wrongfully accused of killing Brother Hal.

* AbusiveDad: A mild example. Emotionally abusive of his son Klitch, though honestly, the [[AssholeVictim little creep]] deserves it.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Leads one of the biggest vermin hordes in the series and shows ''why'' at several points -- particularly at the end [[spoiler:where he manages to, even in death, claim the distinction of ''fatally wounding a Bloodwrath-blinded Badger Lord''.]]

* {{Soft Spoken Sadist}}: He likes to speak softly and politely, and he's also incredibly cruel.

* VillainousUnderdog: In a direct confrontation with Urthstripe he's no match for the vastly larger badger.

* BladeOnAStick: His absolutely massive spear.

!!Farran the Poisoner:

* ManChild: When we first meet him, he pretty much acts like a baby. He stops fighting, calls Mara a bully, and pouts when Pikkle hits him. He also is specifically compared to a baby when he pulls on Ashnin's tail complaining aloud that he's thirsty, and asks her if he can have a drink. When Urthstripe dies, its said he cries like a baby. While understandable and sad, the description is admittedly rather narmy.

* LongLostRelative: To Urthstripe and by adoption, to Mara

* TheBerserker: He's the brother of a Badger Lord kind of comes with the deal.

* JabbaTableManners: They eat so untidily one somehow manages to bite the other's paw in the process.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: How their subplot starts. Sadly it doesn't work.

* FluffyTamer: He's the one that finally convinces the Wild King Macphearsome to give up the [[MacGuffin Icetor Flowers.]] The big eagle is friends with him from then on.

* BadassAndChildDuo: Forms this with Dumble. Unwillingy on his part seeing as how Dumble snuck in with him.
* LoveableRogue: Like most otters.

!!Wild King Macphearsome

* BigEater: He especially loves the food at the abbey. A "Macphearsome cake" is even made in honor of him.

* YouHaveFailedMe: The one vermin who let prisoners escape is executed by his rather brutally before the entire horde as a warning not to screw up.

* PluckyComicRelief

* {{Combat Pragmatist}}: Again, he's without honour and will use any means necessary to win a fight.

* MamaBear: Took on this role later [[spoiler:as the Badger Mother / "Guardian" of Redwall Abbey]]. She's one of the youngest to become one.

A pair of stoats who deserted Ferahgo's army and wound up at Redwall Abbey, where they were accepted into the Nameday festivities on the condition that they behave themselves. Unfortunately, they accidentally kill Brother Hall, and, knowing that they can't stay, decide to steal the sword of Martin the Warrior and flee.

* WeaponOfChoice: A quarterstaff.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It turns out that [[spoiler:Farran was force-fed his own poisons by Urthstripe]].

* SadlyMythstaken: Subsequent entries frequently list him alongside Cluny the Scourge as warlords who met sticky ends trying to conquer Redwall. In ''Salamandastron'', he never actually goes anywhere near Redwall; his focus remains on the titular mountain for the entire book.

* SmugSnake: Has an overall smug attitude.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Wild King Macphearsome''. Can't get much more awesome than that.

* KnifeNut: An expert with throwing knives, and he also carries a skinning knife.

* KnifeNut: His weapon of choice is a wooden dagger steeped in some mixture of toxins.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does seem to actually care for Klitch, telling his captains that no matter what Klitch does to him, Ferahgo will always spare him.

* MadeOfIron: Even by the standards of other badgers, Urthstripe is ''hard to kill.'' [[spoiler: He's badly wounded in his first fight with the horde, and still gets on his feet and charges back into battle. Ferahgo finally inflicts a mortal wound upon him, but Urthstripe still has enough strength to grab hold of his enemy and leap off the mountain.]]
* MutualKill: [[spoiler: With Ferahgo. Ferahgo and his horde fatally wound Urthstripe, but with his last strength, the badger leaps over the edge of the mountain with Ferahgo in his grasp.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It turns out that [[spoiler: Farran was force-fed his own poisons by Urthstripe]].

* KidHero: He's barely a ''teenager'', and not only does he go after Martin's sword when it's stolen, [[spoiler: he ends up wielding it]].

* NobleBirdOfPrey: He's an eagle. Enough said.

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

* NeverMyFault
* OffWithHisHead: Dingeye [[spoiler: gets beheaded.]]

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

* TheBerserker: He's the brother of a Badger Lord kind of comes with the deal

* MeaningfulName: Urthwythe, very apt for an albino badger.

* MeaningfulName: Urthwythe very apt for an albino badger.
* LongLostRelative: to Urthstripe and by adoption, to Mara

* TheBerserker

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Not in the audio version of the novel though, where his eeeevil voice does not leave much place for sheep's clothing.

* RealityEnsues: No matter how skilled one is at infiltration, escaping isn't so easy when a fortress is on high alert. [[spoiler:And naturally, a cloak-and-dagger assassin isn't going to last very long against a warrior king in open combat.]]
