Blaggut

Blaggut is a searat in the book The Bellmaker. Originally, he served as bos'un on the ship Pearl Queen, but was forced to retreat into Mossflower woods with Captain Strapp, the rat who had captained the Pearl Queen after stealing it from the sea otter Finnbarr Galedeep. Blaggut retreated into Mossflower Wood, where he found two lost Dibbuns, Furrtil the mole and Mousebabe. He befriended the two infants, and acomapanied them back to Redwall Abbey, where he discovered his skill as a boatbuilder. He convinced the two children to show him and Strapp their "secret treasure." When Strapp discovered that the treasure was nothing more than infant's playthings, he attempted to harm them, and was prevented by doing so by Mother Mellus, whom he slew. In revenge for the badgermum's death, Blaggut slew his captain and returned a cup to the Abbey that Strapp had stolen. He chose to live out his days as a boatbuilder on a Mossflower stream.

One of the few vermin who are truly good characters, Blaggut is amiable, somewhat stupid, and was probably a forerunner of Veil in The Outcast of Redwall.
