Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Lord Verdauga Greeneyes was a male wildcat warlord of Mossflower Woods who ruled the residents from the fortress Kotir. He was the son of Highland King Mortspear, younger brother of Ungatt Trunn, father of Tsarmina and Gingivere, and the distant ancestor of Squire Julian Gingivere. Hailing from the far north, upon arrival in Mossflower he settled in the abandoned Kotir and began a multi-season oppressive reign over the woodlanders, enforcing his laws with the Thousand Eye Army.

As ruler of Mossflower, Verdauga collected half of the woodlanders' food as tax, forcing many farmers to work harder or starve. However, Verdauga was not overly cruel and arranged a truce with the woodlanders after he defeated their initial rebellion efforts. In exchange for providing sustenance for his army and family, he offered to protect them from other potentially worse threats from the North. In contrast, his daughter Tsarmina was evil and tyrannical, and when she succeeded her father, a new era of terror spread across Mossflower.

A leader of flair, his many titles included Master of the Thousand Eyes, Lord of Mossflower, Slayer of Enemies, and Ruler of Kotir. He also assembled a treasure collection and hid it inside Kotir. Much more was later found by Redwall Abbey residents.

In his old age, Verdauga experienced an unknown illness. His treacherous daughter, Tsarmina, and his healer, Fortunata, poisoned him in an act of usurpation.

Verdauga is known to be one of the more merciful vermin warlords, as he spared the life of Martin the Warrior after arresting him for trespassing. Verdauga also recognized Martin as a true and courageous warrior. Despite his mercy towards Martin, in previous seasons he was the complete opposite, having driven the tribe of Luke the Warrior out of their home, Saint Ninian's Church.

The Lost Legends of Redwall[]

Verdauga Greeneyes is referenced in The Lost Legends of Redwall game Escape the Gloomer and its companions The Wildcat Scroll and Caverns of Kotir. Verdauga writes and hides a scroll deeming his son as his true heir, though he expresses contempt for both Gingivere and Tsarmina. He also owned an amulet.

Trivia[]

  • "Verd" is the Latin root for "green," and "Auge" means "eye" in German. Hence, Lord Greeneyes.
