Friar Bellows was a tubby male mouse resident of Redwall Abbey who led the Kitchen. He was a meticulous and expert cook and taught Samkim and Arula how to make a Great Hall cake. Bellows was the second Redwaller to find Brother Hal's body and mistakenly assumed that Samkim had killed the mouse.
During the Summer of the Lazy Trout, Friar Bellows was afflicted with Dryditch Fever.
