Abbot Arven

Arven was a male squirrel of Redwall Abbey. As a Dibbun, he was a very good friend of Tansy. When out searching for herbs with Tansy, he accidently fell into a hole containing the skeleton of the weasel Graylunk, which spurred the search for the Tears of all Oceans.

He was the ringleader of the group including Diggum and Gurrbowl, two mole Dibbuns. He often led them into mischief and could always be found making trouble somewhere. Despite this, he contributed to the search for the pearls on several occasions.

As an adult, he became the Abbey Warrior and fought in Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand. Near the end of his life he became Abbot of Redwall for several seasons.

He is probably one of the only characters to be an Abbey Warrior and an Abbot.
