Badredd (aka Little Redd) was the youngest member of a vermin band led by the weasel Burrad. When Burrad was accidentally killed by Skrodd the fox, Skrodd became the new chieftain. Worried that there might be some backlash against his leadership, Skrodd asked Little Redd to watch his back (Skrodd told him that "we foxes should stick together"). One night, Redd, who was supposed to be keeping watch, fell asleep. As a result, Skrodd was killed by Dargle. However, Skrodd nearly decapitated him with a final spasmodic slash. Little Redd woke up and was shocked at what he saw.
Redd took Skrodd's cutlass and finished cleaving off Dargle's head. He then carried the cutlass back to the vermin camp and told a tall tale of how he avenged Skrodd. He also cut off Slipback's tail to prove his ferocity, after Slipback made a remark about his height. Redd then became the new chieftain and changed his name to Badredd, a name originally suggested by Skrodd. Throughout his leadership he was teased and manipulated by the the other vermin, especially Flinky. Badredd and his band made many feeble attempts in trying to take over Redwall Abbey with no success. Badredd was always annoyed with Halfchop, a rat who could only say one word (Kachunk!) as a result of his nose being shattered by a barrel bung.
When Raga Bol finally entered the scene, he threatened the little fox and embarrassed him in front of his band. They managed to escape the searats and Badredd lost his chieftainship to Flinky. The vermin band left Mossflower for good afterwards.
