Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Arven was a male squirrel Abbot and Champion of Redwall Abbey. As a Dibbun, he was very good friends with Tansy and had a special nickname for her, "Tansy Pansy." When out searching for herbs with Tansy, he accidentally fell into a hole containing the skeleton of the weasel Graylunk, which spurred the search for the Tears of all Oceans.

Arven was the ringleader of a Dibbun group that included Diggum and Gurrbowl. He often led them into mischief and could always be found making trouble somewhere. Once, he ventured into Mossflower Woods believing that when he was found he would be praised. Despite this, he contributed to the search for the Tears on several occasions.

Near the end of his life, Arven became the Abbot of Redwall for three seasons. He passed away after surviving a harsh winter. Abbess Songbreeze Swifteye was his successor.
