Burrad was a large, fat weasel in charge of a small band of 12 vermin. He was a brutal bully. Burrad inherited leadership of the band after his father died, and then took them south from the Northlands to Mossflower Woods.
Burrad was accidentally impaled by his fox second-in-command Skrodd during an encounter with Bragoon and Sarobando in which Skrodd was trying to back his master up. After his death, Skrodd appointed himself leader of the gang and took Burrad's cutlass as a leadership symbol.
