'''Brother Tollum''' was a fat, mournful-faced male squirrel [[The Bell Tower|bellringer]] of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He enjoyed satiric poetry, and planned to enter a very long ballad titled ''The Bellringer's Burial'' in the Bard o' Redwall contest, but never got the chance.<br />
<br />
When [[Globby]] the [[Ravagers|Ravager]] locked himself in the [[The Attic|Abbey attic]], Tollum swung in through the window from the Bell Tower and retrieved information from the young stoat. Globby was armed with a kitchen knife, and sank it deep into the squirrel's midriff, mortally wounding him. Suddenly rigid with pain, Tollum's outstretched paws smashed into Globby's chest, right below his throat, breaking the stoat's windpipe and killing him.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The title of Tollum's ballad, "The Bellringer's Burial", could be interpreted as foreshadowing of his death.<br />
