'''Friar Hugo''' was the male mouse leader of [[Redwall Abbey]]'s [[The Kitchen|kitchen]]. He was known to constantly hold a fan in his tail to keep cool from the heat. He was considered one of the best cooks Redwall ever had, preparing concoctions such as "Grayling a la Redwall" and "Special Abbot's Trifle." <br />
<br />
He caught [[Chickenhound]] stealing food and goods, and pursued him until the fox murdered [[Methuselah]], at which point Hugo gave up the chase, completely in shock. When [[Cluny the Scourge]] attacked Redwall, Hugo was pursued by the rat and trapped in [[the Bell Tower]] until Matthias cut the rope of the [[Joseph Bell]], killing Cluny and rescuing him. <br />
<br />
Hugo taught [[Sister Pansy]] numerous recipes and was considered such a talented cook that when he took a day off, Sister Pansy and others secretly used his own recipe book, afraid to use their own recipes in case they were not up to par. Hugo eventually anointed Sister Pansy as his successor, but still assisted in many kitchen duties afterwards. His excellent culinary skills came with a price - he was pestered incessantly by [[Basil Stag Hare]] and Basil's nephew [[Tummscoff Stag Vittlesmythe|Tummscoff]], who loved food to the point of obsession. <br />
<br />
When [[Slagar the Cruel]] and his [[Slagar's Gang|gang]] entered Redwall disguised as a circus, Hugo, [[John Churchmouse]], [[Lettie Bankvole]], and [[Rollo]] were not at the table when Slagar drugged the Redwallers' drinks with hypnotics. Hugo attempted to pursue the gang when they kidnapped several young children, but Slagar and his vermin killed Friar Hugo along with Lettie Bankvole. Basil discovered his body a short time later, and was deeply saddened by the loss of his friend. The hare vowed to locate his murderers; a vow he kept by questing after Slagar. However, he never got the chance to actually fight Slagar, so Hugo was ultimately avenged by [[Matthias]] and [[Orlando the Axe]].<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*In ''Redwall'', Friar Hugo is said to fan himself with a dandelion. However, in ''Mattimeo'', he is described as using a dockleaf with which to fan himself.<br />
*Friar Hugo was indirectly responsible for Methuselah's murder and [[Asmodeus Poisonteeth]]'s assault on Chickenhound. Ironically, Chickenhound killed him later as Slagar the Cruel. <br />
