Bane

Bane was a male fox known for being an experienced mercenary; he carried a curved sword. He claimed to have fought alongside Verdauga Greeneyes, as well as against him.

He traveled to Mossflower Woods from the north with his band of roughly 60 mercenaries (mostly foxes and rats, with a few weasels). Spotting Kotir, he desired it greatly.

Bane allied himself with Tsarmina Greeneyes, hoping to use her to gain access to Kotir, while she hoped to use Bane's trained forces as her own.

Tsarmina gave Bane Ashleg's cloak, and duped him into believing there was a problem with Kotir's gate. As Bane realized that he was tricked into being locked outside, the eagle Argulor attacked him, believing he was Ashleg, a pine marten whom he had often fantasized about consuming. Bane slashed away at Argulor, but was ultimately killed by him; although at the same time he mortally wounded the bird. The unlucky eagle died soon after the fox did, and plummeted down to earth with Bane's lifeless corpse gripped in his talons.

Tsarmina's captin, Brogg, then recovered his cloak and curved sword, killing the stoat Ratflak, who was trying to recover the items first, Brogg used it for his own after Bane died.

Bane's mercenaries, having nowhere else to go, joined with Tsarmina.
