Raventail was originally the leader of a band of approximately 20 ferrets. They lived east of Redwall Abbey. The group attacked Dann, Song, Dippler, and Burble, and captured the latter two before torturing them. Later on the ferrets' number was lessened after Song and Dann attacked. Somehow the two squirrels alone beat off the twenty ferrets, and Dann injured Raventail himself while experiencing the Bloodwrath.
Raventail later met the Marlfoxes Vannan, Ascrod, and Predak. After a few simple tricks, the barbaric ferret was completely convinced that the foxes were magic. The group swelled from twenty to nearly a hundred when they went recruiting. They joined the Marlfoxes in the assault of Redwall.
During the last battle, Raventail himself was killed by Lady Cregga Rose Eyes and most of his vermin were also slain. The ones that survived were forced to clean up the Abbey, then their weapons were confiscated and they scattered.
The band painted themselves with tattoos, giving themselves a barbaric appearance. Despite the significance of Raventail's Band, none of the members are named.
