Emory was a young male mouse Redwall Abbey resident and the best friend of Henny. He studied fighting techniques with Sister Rhoderia, healing with Sister Edelweiss, and history with Sister Mary-Lo.
After a crow visited Redwall and warned Emory and Henny of an incoming group of wildcats, the pair ventured into Mossflower Woods to seek a peace with them.
The pair entered the Gingivera camp, and, after speaking with their leader, Ela, discovered that the wildcats were after Redwall's Scroll of Inheritance. A duel ensued between Emory and Eren, another wildcat, and even though Emory won, he and Henny were still kept in the camp. With the help of Skyfeather, a former member of the Sparra, Emory and Henny escaped into Mossflower Woods. They discover an underground cavern near a river, and after entering and fighting off a rat, learn that the cavern leads to the Cavern Hole.
Later, the Gingivera clan attacked Redwall, and Emory and Eren fought in yet another duel, which ended in Eren falling off the wall. Emory received a metal sword from Sister Rhoderia for his efforts.
