Captain Ash
Species: Shrew Place of Origin: Unknown Gender: Male Weapon: Rapier Death: Killed by Gabool the Wild
Books Appears: Mariel of Redwall

Captain Ash was a male shrew and the skipper of the Periwinkle. The Periwinkle carried Joseph the Bellmaker and his daughter Mariel to Salamandastron with the mission of delivering a specially commissioned bell to Rawnblade Widestripe, current Badger Lord of the mountain. However, the ship was attacked by Gabool's corsairs, and Captain Ash was taken captive. After this he was never heard of again, and was presumably slain by the searats.

Captain Ash did die. Joseph mentions Gabool slaying him, and later, when Mariel told her story, she was reluctant to tell something.

Not to be confused with Brother Ash.
