He's such a kind and caring creature!
Brother Burlop was a male hedgehog Cellar Keeper of Redwall Abbey, and the successor to Abbot Humble after he was elevated to the position of Abbot. Humble described him as "trustworthy, diligent and strong as an oak." He favored working in the forge.
When the safety of the Abbey became threatened by the horde of Gulo the Savage, Brother Burlop took up arms against the vermin. However, during his first attack, he killed one of the horde members. Finding it difficult to reconcile that he had taken the life of another, he wept openly and chose to give up fighting and live peacefully instead. He was greatly loved by Abbot Humble, who considered him to be the son he never had.
