'''Joseph the Bellmaker''' was a male mouse who was skilled in the bell crafting trade. He was the father of [[Mariel Gullwhacker]]. During a voyage to deliver a [[Joseph Bell|bell]] to Lord [[Rawnblade Widestripe]] of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]], [[Periwinkle|his ship]] was captured by [[Gabool's Corsairs|sea rats]] under the command of [[Gabool the Wild]]. The violent corsair enslaved Joseph, and eventually defenestrated the mouse at his [[Terramort Isle]] fortress. However, the bellmaker survived the fall and founded the [[Terramort Resistance Against Gabool]] (Trag), which eventually [[Battle of Terramort|defeated]] Gabool. During his time as the leader of Trag, he led a boarding party of approximately 20 mice who commandeered the ''[[Seatalon]]''; he personally slew its captain, [[Catseyes]], thus freeing [[Dandin]] and [[Durry Quill]], as well as the rest of the slaves on board.<br />
<br />
Joseph traveled to [[Redwall Abbey]] where he lived for many seasons until [[Martin the Warrior]], Mariel, and Dandin appeared to him in a dream and directed him to [[Southsward]], along with [[Honorable Rosemary|Hon Rosie]], [[Rufe Brush]], [[Foremole (Mariel of Redwall)|Foremole]], and Durry Quill. The group befriended [[Finnbarr Galedeep]] on the journey. They captured the ''[[Pearl Queen]]'' and sailed to [[Southsward]] together. After the defeat of [[Urgan Nagru]], the [[Castle Floret|southern kingdom]] was restored to its rightful leader, [[Gael Squirrelking]]. Joseph stayed in Southsward with his friends [[Benjy]], [[Wincey]], and [[Figgs]] to help restore order and craft a bell in honor of those who died in the battle.<br />
<br />
Joseph the Bellmaker was well liked by many creatures, and usually the most observant and reserved in a group. He was the first of the crew to realize that the ''Pearl Queen'' had sailed into the Roaringburn.<br />
<br />
Later, Joseph was given the titles "King's Adviser", "Honorary Commander to the Army of Southsward", and "Lord Warden of Castle Floret".<br />
