Luke the Warrior
Luke the Warrior is the father of Martin the Warrior. He is a mouse, as well as the main character of the book The Legend of Luke, in which he vengefully kills a pirate stoat named Vilu Daskar. He was born in Saint Ninian's Church, in Mossflower Woods south of what is now Redwall Abbey. However, with the arrival of the wildcat Verdauga Greeneyes, as a child he was forced away from his home. He became the chief of a tribe of nomadic mice, who soon settled in caves on the frigid northland shore. Soon after settling, his wife, Sayna, gave birth to Martin, who was always groping for his father's sword. While lighting a bonfire to celebrate his son's birth, Luke's tribe was attacked by Vilu Daskar's corsairs, who killed Sayna. After passing down his sword to Martin, he left his home to pursue the pirates, and avenge Sayna's death once and for all.
