Cheesethief

One of the lower ranking rat-captains in Cluny the Scourge's horde, Cheesethief is both ambitious and jealous. For example, he kills Scragg the weasel after Scragg finds favor with Cluny. Cheesethief eventually impresses Cluny with his initiative with the battering-ram the horde uses in an attempt to break through the main gate of Redwall Abbey. (The ram in fact was a diversion to two other strategies to enter the Abbey). Cluny leaves the horde for a breif time, leaving Cheesethief in charge in his absence; a vitual promotion to second in command (the spot opened after Redtooth's death). Cheesethief stays in Cluny's tent, putting on his full battle armor. Constance the badger builds a huge crossbow in an attempt to slay Cluny, but unknowingly uses it on Cheesethief, killing him with the monstrous javelin she uses as a makeshift arrow.
