'''Dwink''' was a young squirrel resident of [[Redwall Abbey]], and roughly the same age as [[Bisky]], his good friend. Later in life, he was the mate of [[Perrit]] and the father of [[Mittee]]. Initially, Dwink was a bit on the rebellious and mischievous side, and got himself on the [[Abbot's Report]] for starting a pillow fight in the dormitories. He and Bisky got in further trouble when they convinced a friend, [[Umfry Spikkle]], to desert his post as Gatekeeper to spend the night with them; their punishment was cleaning the cellars.

Dwink was part of the group that searched the underground tunnels beneath Redwall for the jewels of the [[Great Doomwyte Idol]]. Along with [[Samolus Fixa]], Umfry, [[Skipper]] [[Rorgus]], [[Bosie]], and [[Tugga Bruster]], he went to find Bisky and [[Dubble]] who were kidnapped by the [[Painted Ones]].

When the [[Guosim]] and Redwallers were ambushed by the Painted Ones, Dwink asked (and was reluctantly given) permission to capture a Painted One for information, and to give them a hostage. This plan backfired and Dwink was captured and nearly killed by [[Jeg]]. [[Martin the Warrior]] spoke to him in a dream, and shortly afterwards, he was saved by [[Spingo]] and Bisky.

Later, Tugga Bruster pushed Dwink into a ditch, badly breaking his footpaw, during an argument about how to treat the surrendered Painted Ones. For a while after this incident, Dwink had to use a wheelchair, and Perrit and Umfry helped wheel him around until he could walk on his cast. During this time, Dwink received another vision from Martin the Warrior, who told him that one of the already-found Doomwyte jewels needed protection; [[Aluco]] agreed to guard it. The vision proved to be insightful as Tugga Bruster intended to steal the jewel to frame [[Pikehead Nokko]], who had attempted to rescue Dwink from Tugga earlier and humiliated the shrew.

With the aid of Perrit and Umfry, Dwink helped locate one of the missing rubies which was hidden in the Abbey itself. Afterwards, he learned to walk on his cast, and set out to find the other Doomwyte jewels. While searching for one of the emeralds, Skipper Rorgus, Perrit, [[Foremole]] [[Gullub Gurrpaw]], and Dwink encountered [[Blodd Apis]] in [[Mossflower Woods]]. Apis tricked the four travelers into getting drunk, but Foremole was able to save the group. Afterwards, Dwink returned to the Abbey, where he married Perrit, whom he had fallen in love with during their adventures together. Sometime after their daughter's birth, Perrit was named Abbess of Redwall, with Dwink and the retired [[Abbot Glisam]] serving as her advisors.
