Vilu Daskar

Vilu Daskar was the stoat captain of the corsair vessel Goreleech. He was the one who raided the caves of Luke the Warrior's tribe, killing many of the inhabitants including Luke's wife Sayna. Luke vowed to kill Daskar, and after commandeering another corsair vessel (re-named the  Sayna) he took to the seas in pursuit of him. Ultimately, Luke ends up killing Vilu during a slave revolt on aboard the Goreleech, but died himself in the process, wrecking the ship upon the Tall Rocks.

Vilu was described as a rather intellectually inteligent vermin, who prided himself on his affected gentlebeast manner. He considered himslf a cut-above his crew when it came culture and intelligence and ruled his ship with cruelty and strictness. While somewhat cunning as compared to other Redwall villains, his complacent confidence in his own invulnerablity lead to Luke's ultimate victory and Vilu's demise aboard his own ship.
