Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Ascrod was a Marlfox, one of the sons of Queen Silth, and the brother of Mokkan, Ziral, Gelltor, Lantur, Vannan, and Predak. Like all Marlfoxes, he was pale-eyed, had grey fur mottled with black and dark blue, wore a drab brown and green cloak for camouflage, and used an axe as a weapon. He and his siblings were sent to Mossflower Woods to acquire things of beauty for their mother. He was also a bit afraid of heights.

Ascrod was often paired with Vannan, and it was so when they came across Janglur Swifteye and his family. The duo attacked the squirrels, but were fought off, with Vannan knocked unconscious and Ascrod defeated by Janglur.

While his siblings were fighting after kidnapping Dwopple, Ascrod sneaked into Redwall Abbey along with Vannan, Dakkle, and Beelu. When they were discovered, Ascrod grabbed Nutwing and used him as a shield. He slew Nutwing, and they knocked over the guards (Dann, Song, and Dippler) and stole the tapestry of Martin the Warrior before making a quick exit. After the battle, Ascrod wanted to cut their losses and go home with the tapestry, but was overruled.

After many attempts to enter the Abbey, Ascrod finally found a way to unlock the main gates. Before a battle could start, however, he was killed by Lady Cregga Rose Eyes. She used a longbow, while Ellayo Swifteye aimed for her. The arrow was fired with such force, it went straight through the Marlfox.

Ascrod was the fourth of the Marlfoxes to die.
