General Ironbeak

Known as one the most feirce fighters of the northlands, Ironbeak was the head commander of an army of rooks and magpies. Though intellengent in his own right, he rarely made any action with out first consulting his seer, Mangiz. Eventually, the raven grew tired of the cold north, and headed south into Massflower country. There he discovered Redwall Abbey, and sought to conquer it from the top down. Although gaining most of the Abbey, he couldn't take Cavern Hole, where the remaining Abbey dwellers had formed a blockade. After a few dayys, Ironbeak managed to think of a way to enter Cavern Hole by lulling the defenders into a false sense of security and then sneaking over the top of the blackade at night. His plan suceeded, but he hadn't counted on Stryke, a redkite who had been taken in by the Redwallers. Ironbeak tried to fight her, but was no match for the massive bird, and was killed trying to escape Great Hall.
