Plugg Firetail

Plugg Firetail was the infamous Freebooter captain of the largest pirate ship of the north, the Seascab. He carried a big battleaxe, and was silver-grey-furred, except for his tail, which was a lustrous red colour, and was his pride and joy. He appeared in Triss, where he was hired by the monarchy of Riftgard to take their princess, Kurda, and prince, Bladd, south to Mossflower. Plugg accepted, though he planned to kill them all on his return and take control of Riftgard. As the Seascab went south, Plugg and Kurda discovered an intense dislike for the other, often arguing and once even coming to drawn weapons. When they arrived on the west coast of Mossflower, Plugg and his crew captured a group of young creatures: Sagaxus, a badger from Salamandastron, Scarum, a hare, and Kroova, an otter. The trio eventually escaped, thanks to Scarum's trickery. Plugg and Kurda chased them upriver to Redwall Abbey, which both desired to take. After mounting an unsuccessful attack, both leaders argued and fought, but Plugg was killed, not by Kurda, but by Zassaliss, Harssacs and Sesstra, a serpent family living in Brockhall.
