Gruven Zann

Gruven was inept in every way, shape and form. A poor leader, bungler, liar, the only thing Gruven had going for him was his ambition the be the Taggerung, which without the constant nagging of his mother Antigra, he wouldn't even have. After Antigra killed Sawney Rath, Gruven was given his chance. Leading (in the loosest sense of the word) a group of trackers, Gruven set out to find and kill Tagg, giving him the right to call himself Taggerung, as the law was whoever killed the Taggerung became the new Taggerung. On his treck, Gruven was constantly shown up by his band, specifically Eefera and Vallug Bowbeast. After the two in question desert to find Tagg on their own, Gruven decides to go after them instead, not really fancying running into Tagg any way. When he finally did track down the two, he was the one who was captured by them, once again displaying his own inability to be a Taggerung.After Tagg rushed out of the Abbey to confront the vermin, Gruven high-tailed it back to his camp, only to find it had been taken over by a fox known as Ruggan Bor. Gruven concocted a series of lies to try and convince the new commander and chief that he had killed the Taggerung, leading Bor to the decision to march to the Abbey to ask the Redwallers if Gruven had truly done what he said. Upon arriving at the Abbey one morning, asked the group ontop of the wall if they had seen the deed done. Tagg, now named Deyna, had had his tattos and other Juskarath relating ornaments removed, and decided to tell the golden fox that Gruven had indeed killed the Taggerung. Gruven was thrilled out of his mind at his luck, and in his ecstacy failed to realize his danger. Since Gruven had been proven the Taggerung, whoever killed him would be the new Taggerung, and Ruggan Bor did just that, beheading the unlucky stoat on the spot.
