Verdauga Greeneyes

Male wildcat warlord of Mossflower, who ruled the fortress Kotir in the beginning of the book Mossflower. He was the son of Highland King Mortspear, the younger brother of Ungatt Trunn, and the father of Tsarmina and Gingervere. He hailed from the far north and settled in the abandoned fortress Kotir to rule the woodlanders for many seasons. A leader of flare, his many titles included Master of the Thousand Eyes, Lord of Mossflower, Slayer of Enemies, and Ruler of Kotir. Near the opening of Mossflower he was suffering from an illness and was tricked and poisoned by the joint effort of his healer, Fortunata, and his treacherous daughter, Tsarmina, who took over his position.

Verdauga is known to be one of the more merciful of evil warlords, as he spared the life of Martin the Warrior after having his guards bring him to Kotir for tresspassing. The "nicer" portions of Verdauga's genes apparently were carried over in his gentle son, Gingervere.

The name "Verdauga" is a Latin contraction meaning "green eyes."
