'''Greypatch''', also known as '''Graypatch''', was a one-eyed [[Gabool's Corsairs|sea rat]] who originally served as the first mate of [[Gabool the Wild]], and was also Gabool's best steers-rat. He wore a velvet patch over his missing eye and was a skilled swordfighter. Greypatch, unlike some sea rats and corsairs, was smart and cautious and he made note of the differences between hares and rabbits. <br />
<br />
After he determined that Gabool was insane, Greypatch stole the ''[[Darkqueen]]'' with a crew of others who wanted to escape Gabool's madness, and they ended up in [[Mossflower Woods]]. While there, he discovered [[Redwall Abbey]] and decided to take it for himself. Several of Gabool's ships were sent after him, including the ''[[Rathelm]]'' and the ''[[Greenfang]]''. Greypatch successfully overwhelmed the crew of the ''Greenfang'' and slew their captain, [[Garrtail]]. However, his encounters with the [[Long Patrol]] ultimately resulted in the ''Darkqueen'' being scuttled in the [[River Moss]], stranding him and his crew in Mossflower.<br />
<br />
Greypatch tried a multitude of ideas to take the Abbey, including climbing up the back wall and using [[Fire-swinger|fire-swinger]]s, but the plans were eventually thwarted. The failed attacks on the Abbey lowered crew morale. [[Bigfang]] attempted to fight Greypatch for the position of Captain, but Greypatch killed him.<br />
<br />
Greypatch ultimately failed to capture Redwall, and after attempting to retreat with the remainder of his crew, he was killed by the lance of [[Oak Tom]] in revenge for the deaths of [[Colonel Clary]], [[Brigadier Thyme]], and [[Pakatugg Treefleet]].<br />
