Note

Slagar the Cruel, also known as Chickenhound, is a male red fox character in the Redwall series. He was once a faithful servant to his mother, Sela, a healer in Mossflower Woods, but later became a notorious slaver and warlord.

History 1

Even as a child, Slagar or Chickenhound as he was known by then, showed himself as devoid of empathy, he showed a "total lack of sorrow" for his mother's death in the narrator's own words and was completely ungrateful to Abbot Mortimer for helping him. Chickenhound was capable of faking innocence and fooling others with crocodile tears, though his true evil nature could be seen by some such as Constance the Badger. He had a habit of sniggering, especially when tricking other animals.

History 2

Believing he was meant for better, Chickenhound thought his mother was an old fool without guile and dreamed of one day being a infamous crimelord with a whole gang of fox thieves, whose name alone brought terror and awe throughout the land, his humble origin long forgotten.

History 3

Chickenhound resented his name and its association with Sela. He thus came up with a wide variety of names to call himself including: FoxPrince of Thieves Overlord of all criminals, RedFlash, NightFang or MouseDeath, the last being his favorite. Despite it being so, he settled with his name change to Slagar, as revealed in Mattimeo.

Personality 1

Despite the effects caused by the adder venom, Slagar grew to be extremely intelligent and manipulative, even moreso then his young self, becoming the ruthless bandit his younger self had dreamed of being, though he would regularly recycle gang members so that he could continue to keep profits to himself. He constantly fooling his enemies, whilst betraying and killing his allies. He was pitiless and unspeakably cruel (as his name implies), taking pride in these qualities. Having no mercy for children, even if they were members of his gang.

Personality 2

His acting ability had improved as Slagar was able to perfectly pretend to be amiable ringmaster, fooling all of Redwall even his old enemy Constance. His trickery allowed him to continually get members of his gangs to kill each other, leaving him to reap all the profits and start the process over with a new gang.

Personality 3

However, despite being a heartless psychopath, he was still nothing more than a coward. Running away from fights, demanding his cohorts do his dirty work, and taking all the credit.

Occupation

Over the course of many seasons, Slagar perfected a slave-capturing routine. He would recruit a gang of vermin, force them to acquire slaves, return to Malkariss, and influence the vermin to betray and kill one another while Slagar reaped all the rewards.
