Abbot Glisam was different from most Redwall Abbots, who were inclined to heal and be peaceful. Like Abbot Daucus, he tended to be more warlike; apparently, he also had experience with the bow, being able to fire the weapon and have his arrows hit the ground a pawsbreadth from retreating enemies. He assisted in the search for the eyes of the Great Doomwyte Idol by helping to solve riddles, and found one of the jewels hidden in a clay kitchen tray. After the defeat of Korvus Skurr, and the acquiring of the fourth and final Doomwyte Eye, Glisam had the jewels buried above the hill that was once the lair of the Doomwytes, in honor of those who had died in the battle there.
Glisam was the only known dormouse Abbot of Redwall. In later seasons, he was confined to a wheelchair and had to be assisted by Brother Torilis, the herbalist. After he appointed Perrit as Mother Abbess, Glisam became the Abbey school teacher, focusing especially on educating the illiterate hedgehog Umfry Spikkle.
Not to be confused with Friar Glisum.
Trivia
Edit
- Glisam's name is probably derived from glis, the latin word for certain species of dormice.
