Boar the Fighter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boar the Fighter is a character from the Redwall series. He is a Badger Lord. Boar appears in Mossflower. He also made an appearance from Dark Forest in Outcast of Redwall.

A legendary warrior, son of Lord Brocktree, Boar the Fighter fathered Bella of Brockhall. After years of ruling Mossflower, he departed for Salamandastron, leaving the woodlands in the charge of his son-in-law, Barkstripe. However, after Boar's absence, the wildcats took over, and a rebellion by the woodlanders ended in Barkstripe's death.

When Martin the Warrior came to Mossflower some time later, he set out to find Boar to seek his aid against the wildcats. Boar instructed Martin and his companions, providing them with weapons and reforging Martin's sword. He later saw his fate written on the walls of Salamandastron. Accompanied by Martin and his friends and the hares of Salandastron, Boar did battle with a horde of sea rats led by his sworn enemy Ripfang.

During that last battle, Boar was overtaken by the Bloodwrath. He slew many a corsair, but at the cost of his own life. However, Martin fulfilled his promise to Boar and saved Mossflower, and Boar's grandson Sunflash the Mace later came to take his grandfather's place in the halls of Salamandastron.

Boar is voiced by Colin Bean in the full-cast audiobook.
