Baron Barnabas Ironspikes

History
Was born and raised among the Northern Hedgehogs clan known as the Rabblehogs-Rising in the ranks, until finally flooring Rakkato, their previous Chieftain, and gaining leadership of the clan-Waging war against the invading Juskatael and Juskatunn, slaying the ferret Vildro Ashentael, driving the Juskatael out, and then joining forces with the Ides of March, a mercenary band of otters, squirrels and hares, to finally destroy the Juskatunn. He then moves his clan far off into the Northern Mountains, seeking the famed metal and coal mines. He is known to stop by Redwall Abbey every chance he gets, and when he's there, he acts the role of Head Beekeeper with much pride. He was even heard to remark that he liked bees more than other beasts, although it hasn't been specified that he said so under drunkeness, another of his favorite hobbies, or if he really meant it.
