'''Durry Quill''' was a male hedgehog [[The Cellar|Cellar Keeper]] of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He was the nephew of [[Gabriel Quill]] and a descendant of [[Brownspike O'Quill]]. Durry was good friends with [[Dandin]], [[Mariel Gullwhacker]], [[Rufe Brush]], and [[Abbot Saxtus|Saxtus]].

He accompanied Dandin, Mariel, and [[Tarquin Longleap Woodsorrel]] on a journey to [[Terramort Isle]]. Along the way, Durry was captured by Captain [[Catseyes]] of the ''[[Seatalon]]'', but was later rescued by [[Joseph the Bellmaker]] and the [[Trag]].

Durry fought in the [[Battle of Terramort]] and helped Tarquin, Mariel, Dandin, and Trag in the battle against the followers of the pirate king [[Gabool the Wild]]. When Joseph the Bellmaker was about to go down while fighting off two sea rats, Durry used a piece of wall debris to slay one of the combatants, saving Joseph's life.

Durry also claimed one of Gabool's ships, the ''[[Waveblade]]'', and renamed it ''Gabriel'' after his uncle. The ship was taken apart later to bridge a fjord.

Following the adventures at Terramort, Durry became the Cellarhog of Redwall, with his uncle as his assistant. After his uncle's death, he sailed to [[Southsward]] with Joseph, [[Honorable Rosemary|Hon Rosie]], Rufe, and [[Foremole (Mariel, Bellmaker, Martin)|Foremole]], hoping to help rescue Dandin, Mariel, and the residents of Southsward from the evil warlord [[Urgan Nagru]]. At one point, Durry and Rosie were up in the rigging of the ship when a storm snapped the mast; they were blown through the air violently but came to rest, unharmed, on an island populated by toads. As the mast had landed upon and killed a vicious adder, the toads did not harm Durry and Rosie but instead revered them as "[[Bulgum]]s" or magic creatures who fall from the sky. Later, when their ship ''[[Pearl Queen]]'' docked on the island for supplies, Durry and Rosie reunited with their crew and continued the journey.

During the quest, Durry and Rufe became firm friends with a young [[Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower|Guosim]] shrew, [[Fatch]]. In the battle for Southsward, Fatch and Rufe were both wounded, the shrew fatally, so Durry guarded the two injured fighters from Nagru's [[Nagru's Horde|horde]]. He was later given one of the [[Sword|swords]] of [[Finnbarr Galedeep]] as an award; he named it "Finnbarr" after its previous owner. He then returned to Redwall, where he likely lived out the rest of his days.

Durry loved his "Nuncle Gabe" as he called him, and often spoke of him as unbelieving of some of the things Durry had seen. Durry frequently speculated just what Gabriel would say if he returned in certain conditions.
