Slitfang

A thin, gap-toothed weasel, Slitfang was the first mate aboard the Seascab. He was armed with a cutlass and a dagger.

Slitfang led the scouting group of corsairs who captured Sagaxus, Scarum and Kroova Wavedog, though he lost a tooth in the process. Later on, he probably saved the life of Plugg Firetail, whom Princess Kurda was about to shoot, had Slitfang not threatened her with a blade.

In the attack on Redwall Abbey, Slitfang's back was badly burned by a cauldron of boiling oatmeal. When Plugg was killed, he overheard Kurda's plans to take over the demoralized Seascab crew. When she announced her plans, Slitfang openly challenged her authority, and was backed by the Freebooters. Kurda pretended to agree at last, and held out her paw to shake. Not knowing of the Princess' prowess with a sabre, Slitfang shook her paw--before getting his one and his head lopped off with two quick blows.
