Baliss was a feared blind adder who was rumored to be a descendant of Asmodeus. Although he was unable to see, his other senses such as smell and hearing were quite intuitive.
Korvus Skurr made a pact with Baliss to instill fear into the Redwallers, sending some of his toads and reptiles to be eaten by the adder.
However the plan went wrong when Baliss was impaled by Corksnout Spikkle's spikes while the hedgehog was disposing of a dead raven's body. Baliss had confused the two creatures' scents and headbutted Corksnout in the bottom, embedding a considerable number of spines in the snake's head. Having no means to get them out, the injuries later became infected. Baliss went insane with agony and blamed all of his troubles on Korvus Skurr, as it was he who made the pact with him.
Out for revenge, Baliss was led to the Doomwyte lair with the help of Vugri. Upon arriving to the underground domain of Korvus Skurr, Baliss simply blocked the only entrance to the cavern causing anarchy to the minions of Korvus. Eventually he needed cold water to alleviate the pain from his injuries, so he sought out the underground lake that Welzz dwelt in, and after battling the giant catfish, he managed to killed it with his fangs and coils. Afterwards part of the cavern collapsed.
Soon after a battle ensued between the woodlanders consisting of the Gonfelins, Redwallers, and Guosim, who managed to fight the reptiles and birds until they retreated. Baliss began eating all of the creatures in the cavern, luckily the woodlanders had escaped before the adder's rampage.
Baliss was unable to escape the cavern due to a fire set in the entrance by the woodlanders, the cave collapsed and Baliss was crushed to death by the landslide caused by Zaran the Black and her allies.
