Books Appears in: Lord Brocktree

Stonepaw is the earliest Badger Lord explicitly written about in any Redwall book. He was the father of Brocktree (who succeeded him as ruler of Salamandastron), grandfather of Boar the Fighter, great-grandfather of Bella of Brockhall, the great-great-grandfather of Sunflash the Mace, and the distant ancestor of Rawnblade Widestripe. When the mountain was besieged by the hordes of the wildcat Ungatt Trunn, Stonepaw and his remaining hares, all rather elderly, escaped through the underground passages and catacombs beneath Salamandastron.

However, Stonepaw was attacked by Trunn's hordes underground, and the badger met his end defending the old hares while they escaped from the caverns. He was put to rest in a deep underground pool. Known to be the oldest Badger Lord to actively engage in battle, he also ruled the mountain longer than any other Badger Lord.

It must also be noted, badger lords of Stonepaw's blood ruled Salamandastron longer than any other family of badgers.
