Captain Vizka Longtooth was the cunning fox captain of the Sea Raider vessel Bludgullet, and the brother of Codj. He had golden fur and a pair of over-sized fangs. Vizka wields a mace-and-chain for a weapon, and later he briefly takes possesion over the Sword of Martin. He was known for his infamous smile, which usually meant that a creature was about to die.
Vizka is introduced when he raids the home of Gorath the Flame on the Northern Isles. He takes Gorath as a captive aboard the Bludgullet, chaining him to the mast and starving him. Attempting to take advantage of Gorath's Bloodwrath, he figures that if he can somehow "tame" the badger and wield his amazing combat skill, then there would be no worries about casualties being inflicted upon him and his crew when in battle. However, his plot failed when Gorath refused to eat the food offered to him by Vizka and his crew, as it was just part of their plan to take control of the badger. He soon gave up when Gorath escaped with his newfound friend, Orkwil Prink.
After hearing about Redwall Abbey from the ship's cook, Glurma, Vizka decided to conquer it. However, plans go awry and all he ends up taking is the Sword of Martin from Magger, who had in turn stole it from a Grumpy Bankvole. With this new weapon, Vizka grew very confident and joined forces with Gruntan Kurdly's Brownrat horde to take the Abbey.
Eventually, however, the Redwallers forced the combatants to flee, and Vizka ran back to the Bludgullet with his crew, but on the way back to the ship they deserted him. When he finally arrived at his vessel, Vizka found Gorath already aboard, waiting for him. The two engaged in a death match, and after an epic duel, Gorath defeated him, snapping his spine and throwing his body into the River Moss.
