Lord '''Brocktree''', also known as '''Brocktree of Brockhall''', was a male Badger Lord who initiated the modern traditions of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]]. He was the son of [[Stonepaw]], father of [[Boar the Fighter]], grandfather of [[Bella of Brockhall|Bella]] of [[Brockhall]], great-grandfather of [[Sunflash the Mace|Sunflash]], a descendant of [[Lady Sable Brock]], and the distant ancestor of [[Rawnblade Widestripe]]. Brocktree founded the [[Long Patrol]] by organizing the mountain's hares into a military-like regimental structure. He was also responsible for organizing the leveret school, developing the mountain's general laws, and creating the outer gardens, terraces, orchards, and crop-growing areas. It is for these actions, but primarily for organizing the Long Patrol, that Brocktree is often cited as the first true Badger Lord of Salamandastron.

Before questing to Salamandastron, Lord Brocktree ruled [[Mossflower Woods]], residing in Brockhall. After his departure from the region, his son Boar succeeded him as the territory's leader.

Brocktree's primary weapon was an enormous double-edged, double-hilted great battle sword. Physically, he was a large, powerful male badger. He traveled to Salamandastron with the help of [[Dorothea Duckfontein Dillworthy|Dotti]], a young hare from the mideastern hills, who, much to the badger's annoyance, called him by the nickname 'Brockers'. They intended to defeat the wildcat [[Ungatt Trunn]] and his [[Blue Hordes]].

Along the way, they collected an army of woodlanders from the court of the hare king [[Bucko Bigbones]], many of whom were strong, young fighting hares, to assist against the wildcat's horde. Brocktree eventually killed Ungatt Trunn and rid Salamandastron of the menace; he then took up residence as Lord of the mountain.

At the end of his long lifespan, Brocktree shared the leadership of Salamandastron with Boar. When he died, he was entombed in a secret upper chamber in the mountain in full armor. There he rested, among mysterious prescient carvings, to one day be discovered by his descendants.

===Post-Death===
Brocktree appears in a vision to Sunflash, instructing him to live on and become the ruler of Salamandastron. Brocktree also appears in a dream to [[Russano the Wise]], along with other heroes of [[Redwall Abbey]] and Salamandastron.

He also appeared in a dream to Lord [[Asheye]], warning him of danger headed for Redwall.

===Trivia===
*In Sunflash's vision in ''Outcast of Redwall'', Lord Brocktree is described as wielding a [[Axe|battle-axe]], however his weapon during his lifetime was a broadsword.
*"Brock" is a Middle English term for badger.
*Badger Lords of [[Brock Family|Brocktree's bloodline]] ruled Salamandastron longer than any other family of badgers.
*It's unclear where specifically Lord Brocktree is entombed. In ''[[Salamandastron]]'', Brocktree's tomb is described as being a cavern in the base of the mountain. This contradicts where Boar the Fighter says he is entombed in ''[[Mossflower]]''.
*Lord Brocktree seemed to have a slight control over his [[Bloodwrath]], being able to come out of it with a fair amount of ease.
