Joseph the Bellmaker

Joseph the Bellmaker was the father of Mariel Gullwhacker, and, as his name indicated, a skilled bellmaker. On a voyage to deliver a bell to Lord Rawnblade Widestripe in Salamandastron, his ship, the Periwinkle, was captured by searats. Joseph became a slave under Gabool the Wild, but was thrown out the window by the insane beast. He founded Terramort Resistance Against Gabool, or TRAG, which defeated Gabool.

Joseph went to Redwall Abbey where he lived for many seasons until Martin the Warrior, Mariel, and her friend Dandin appeared in his dream and directed him to Southsward, along with Hon Rosie, Rufe Brush, Foremole, and Durry Quill. After the defeat of Urgan Nagru, the kingdom was restored to its rightful leader, Gael Squirrelking. Joseph stayed in Southsward, with his friends Benjy, Wincey, and Figgs, to help restore order and craft a bell in honor of those who died in the battle. He was given the titles "King's Advisor", "Honorary Commander to the Army of Southsward", and "Lord Warden of Floret".
