Gerul



Gerul was a young male barn owl. He was a good friend and traveling companion of Clecky and presumably lived with him in the northlands. After meeting Martin II and his search party at the quarry, Gerul settled quite comfortably into the life at Redwall Abbey. He greatly enjoyed food and was generally a kind and laid-back bird, but could hold is own in battle. Along with Clecky, Martin and Skipper, Gerul helped to track down Lask Frildur and his lizards through Mossflower Woods after the Monitor General had captured Abbot Durral. However, he was wounded in the ensuing battle and was sent back to the abbey to recover.

There, he helped Tansy, Craklyn, Rollo and Piknim find the missing pearls. His wing was damaged and he was unable to fly for some time, but regained the ability when chasing the husk of a honeybee - which was a very important clue to finding one of the pearls - when it was caught in a gust of wind. He also helped to fight against the jackdaws of St. Ninian's church.

Gerul was always quoting his mother's advice and had a quaint northern accent. He and Clecky teased one another mercilessly.
