Brantalis Skyfurrow was a male barnacle goose of the Skyfurrow skein. He was probably related to Olav Skyfurrow. Brantalis' name probably has something to do with branta, the Latin word for "goose."
After being shot with an arrow from one of Riggu Felis' catguards at Green Isle, Leatho Shellhound gave him some brief medical attention and sent him on his way.
Brantalis then managed to wing his way to Redwall Abbey, where he received further medical attention from Brother Perant. It was here he met Pandion Piketalon, who constantly quarreled with him, and Tiria Wildlough. Brantalis had a peculiar way of speaking, often prefacing his speech with "I'm thinking...".
After the Redwallers found the coronet of High Queen Rhulain Wildlough, he flew back to Green Isle and delivered it to Tiria. Along with Pandion, the two birds rescued the Shellhound from a tower in Felis' fortress.
Later on, he became the "Queen's Courier" for Tiria, and the "Official Messenger to Redwall Abbey", delivering messages to and from Abbess Lycian.
[edit] Trivia
- Brantalis's name is quite similar as the Latin name of a barnacle goose.
