Cuthbert Blanedale Frunk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuthbert Blanedale Frunk was an anthropomorphic hare in the book High Rhulain of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Frunk was a perilous Long Patrol hare under Badger Lord Mandoral Highpeak. He wore a waxed mustache and a monocle, and carried a sabre and a swagger stick. His daughter Petunia was brutally murdered by sea-raiding vermin on the shores of Salamandastron, which caused him deep mental trauma to the point of developing a dissociative identity disorder. After his daughter's death, Frunk hunted down the murderers, disposed of them and took their ship, re-naming it the Purloined Petunia in her name.

Frunk changed personalities and characters a number of times, depending on how he was feeling. In addition to being the Long Patrol Regimental Major, he also believed himself to be the following:

  • Frunk W. Bloodpaw - a no-nonsense sea otter captain, the terror of the high seas
  • Log-a-Log Boodul - a Guosim Log-a-Log shrew
  • Lord Brockfang Frunk - a wild hunting badger

Frunk was responsible for guiding Tiria Wildlough to Highpeak, who gave her the High Rhulain armor. Along with other Long Patrol hares, Frunk and Tiria sailed in the Purloined Petunia to Green Isle, home of Tiria's otter clans. While at Green Isle, Frunk successfully killed the wildcat son of Riggu Felis and those loyal to him in a berserker rage called the Bloodwrath. Following this, he killed the ferocious Slothunog, but died in the attempt.

Mandoral Highpeak allowed Frunk's name to live on in a ship he later captured, naming it the Fearless Frunk.
