Abbot Thibb was a male squirrel leader of Redwall Abbey who helped with the defense of the structure when it was attacked by Razzid Wearat and his crew. He was young for an Abbot. Thibb had no-nonsense tendencies, and did not suffer fools and troublemakers easily. He was known to have a slight fear of healers and infirmaries.
When Razzid arrived at Redwall, Thibb dressed up as Martin the Warrior, coating Martin's sword with oil and setting it ablaze to add drama to the display. In this array, he stood atop Redwall's battlements, holding the flaming sword aloft. The ruse temporarily drove away Razzid, who had pyrophobia.
He credited Martin for this concept, which he claimed came to him after an intense period of staring at the Redwall Tapestry.
