That is true that the species in Redwall are good or evil based off their status in folklore, therefore ferrets are normally evil creatures in the series. I understand why Jacques cast them as the bad guys. However, I feel that Veil was treated unfairly in Outcast of Redwall. He stopped Swartt Sixclaw from killing Bryony (who was trying to get Sunflash free). In my opinion, he deserved to be remembered as a hero for his sacrifice, rather than Bryony saying he was bad and could not help being that way.
