Bragoon was a male otter resident of Redwall Abbey, the older brother of Toran Widegirth, and a former Skipper. Along with his friend Sarobando, he was known as a legend at Redwall. Dibbuns, along with some younger Abbey residents, thought of the pair as just folklore, but older members of the community knew otherwise. They apparently were very mischievous in their younger days.
Bragoon and Saro left Redwall at a young age to wander. Whenever the duo encountered some vermin, he dressed up as "Ferroat", (a cross between a ferret and a stoat) to distract them, while Saro would steal food from the vermin campfires. They did this to Burrad's Band, who had heard of them and thought of them as legends as well.
After many seasons of journeying and battling, Bragoon and Saro returned to Redwall Abbey and subsequently departed on a quest with Horty, Fenna, and Springald to find a cure for Martha Braebuck, a hare who was unable to walk. They traveled to Loamhedge Abbey, where the alleged cure was said to exist. Unfortunately, there was no cure, so Bragoon and Saro wrote a short poem about will-power, informing Martha that the power to walk was inside of her.
On the way back to Redwall, Bragoon encountered a horde of vermin led by the Wearet Kharanjul while crossing the Great Abyss. During the ensuing battle, Bragoon and Saro were both mortally injured, but in their last moments they managed to tip the bridge into the Abyss, taking Kharanjul and his horde with them. They died together on the side of the cliff, both musing about "the sunny slopes and quiet streams."
