Warbeak

Warbeak is the proud young Sparra warrior who is accidentally shot down when archers shoot at the Sparra attacking Jess as she climbs down from the weathervane.Warbeak is immediately infuriated,and keeps talking about what King Bull will do to them with his great sword.From this information,Matthias realizes King Bull has the sword of Martin the Warrior.He goes to the attic to retrieve the sword,on the pretense of returning Warbeak.While climbing,Matthias and Warbeak save each others lives several lives,and they soon become fast friends.Warbeak and her mother Dunwing save Matthias from being killed by the Sparra,and King Bull forces him to be their pet.They eventually devise a plan to get the king out of the court,but all the warriors,including Warbeak,are forced to go with him.She and Matthias part,not knowing if they'll ever see each other again.

In fact they do,when Warbeak (now Queen on the death of King Bull) warns Matthias that Redwall has been taken over by Cluny.She and her Sparra help in the attack,and they become full fledged members of Redwall.

In Mattimeo,she helps solve the riddle of where Loamhedge used to be,as the area where the riddle is can only be reached by sparrows.An interesting factis that it's revealed here that Warbeak (and all sparrows) are illiterate.She and all the sparrows set out to find out Matthias and his companions.They find him just as they are hard pressed under attack by Stonefleck and his river rats.The sparrows gallantly fight,even as they know they'll be massacred.Sadly,Warbeak is killed during the attack.The remaining sparrow's name the attic Warbeak's Loft in her honor.
