Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information


Urthwyte the Mighty, also known as Whiteghost, was a male Badger Ruler of Salamandastron and the successor of his late twin brother Urthstripe the Strong. He was the grandson of Loambudd and Urthclaw, and the son of Urthound and Urthrun. Urthwyte was an albino badger, covered in snowy-white fur and missing the characteristic black stripes. His primary weapon was a large oaken war club. Like his brother, he was born in the autumn in the Southwest Lands and was orphaned as a youth by the weasel Ferahgo the Assassin, who murdered his parents after promising to speak reasonably with them.

Ferahgo left the twin badger infants to die, as winter was approaching, but the hardy little beasts survived. They were separated by unknown circumstances, and Urthwyte grew up with his grandmother Loambudd and her squirrel friend Ashnin on the island in the center of the Great Inland Lake. There he was thought to be a "white ghost," which he realized he could use to his advantage to scare off intruders. Later, the hares under which he served called him "Whiteghost."

He was completely unaware of the existence of his brother when they were separated. When Mara found Urthwyte many seasons later while searching for the Blackstone along with the Guosssom, he traveled with her back to Salamandastron to help his brother in the final battle against Ferahgo and his horde. After Urthstripe died, Urthwyte succeeded him as Lord of Salamandastron and wore his father's medallion, an item that Ferahgo had stolen.

Urthwyte was known to be a bit slow and simple-minded, but extremely kind and gentle - when, of course, not affected by the Bloodwrath.

After the death of Urthstripe, he repaired his brother's damaged battle armor and used it himself.

Urthwyte was friends with High Queen Rhulain Wildlough and was known for his ability to manufacture armor and shields. Even after he heard the news of Rhulain's death, he continued to work on the armor he was making for her. The armor was later worn by the new Otter High Queen, Tiria Wildlough, a descendant of Rhulain.
