Books Appears: Mattimeo

Vitch was a rat in Slagar the Cruel's gang who was accepted into Redwall Abbey because of his small size. The Redwallers thought he was a young mouse, and because of this he was able to spy, though Mattimeo was suspicious of his true identity.

None of the Abbey's children liked him, notably Mattimeo. He was angered enough by Vitch to fight with him. When they were kidnapped by Slagar, Vitch constantly taunted the captive young ones.

 

When Mattimeo, Sam Squirrel, Tess Churchmouse, Tim Churchmouse, Auma, Jube Stump and Cynthia Bankvole were hiding underwater, Vitch and Browntooth were told to search the river. He was reluctant to search, but went anyways. Mattimeo stabbed Vitch in the foot with a small dagger.

Upon arrival at the Kingdom of Malkariss, Slagar offered the unwilling Vitch servitude in the ranks of black-robed rats. However, since he was not born to be one, he was instead made a slave.

After Malkariss's Kingdom collapsed underground, Vitch was able to get out alive. Before he could escape, he was killed by Slagar, who threw his bolas at the rat, choking him to death. His body was lowered into a pit and buried by Orlando the Axe.
