'''Abbot Glisam''' was an old male dormouse leader of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He held the role for many seasons. His personality was different from most Redwall Abbots and Abbesses, who were inclined to heal and be peaceful. Like [[Abbot Daucus]], [[Abbot Carrul]], and [[Abbot Thibb]], he tended to be more warlike; apparently, he had experience with the [[Bow and Arrow|bow]], as he was able to fire the weapon and have his arrows hit the ground near retreating [[Painted Ones|enemies]]. It was also speculated that he had experience in sailing, for [[Rorgus]] called him his "shipmate" after Glisam told [[Sister Violet]] there was a lot she didn't know about him. He assisted in the search for the eyes of the [[Great Doomwyte Idol]] by helping solve riddles, and found one of the jewels hidden in a clay kitchen tray. After the defeat of [[Korvus Skurr]], and the acquisition of the fourth and final Doomwyte Eye, Glisam had the jewels buried above the hill that was once the lair of the [[Doomwytes]] in honor of those who had died in the battle there.<br />
<br />
In later seasons, he was confined to a wheelchair, due to his rheumatism. He had to be assisted by [[Infirmary|Infirmary Keeper]] [[Brother Torilis]]. After he appointed [[Abbess Perrit|Perrit]] as his successor, Glisam became the Abbey school teacher, focusing especially on educating the illiterate hedgehog [[Umfry Spikkle]].<br />

''Not to be confused with [[Friar Glisum]].''<br />

===Trivia===<br />
*Glisam's name is derived from ''glis'', the latin word for certain species of dormice.<br />
*Glisam is described as the "first Dormouse ever to reign as father", and is the only known dormouse leader of Redwall.<br />
