'''Midge Manycoats''' was a male hare of the [[Long Patrol]] under [[Lady Cregga Rose Eyes]]. He was shorter than the average hare, and operated as a master of disguise under Major [[Perigord Habile Sinistra]]. Along with [[Tamello De Fformelo Tussock|Tammo]], Midge infiltrated the [[Rapscallions|Rapscallion]] camp and posed as a seer named "Miggo", tricking [[Damug Warfang]] into battling [[Ridge of a Thousand|elsewhere]] instead of at [[Redwall Abbey]]. Before leaving the camp, he assisted with the rescue of [[Fourdun]]. Without his help, the battle most likely would have not taken place, and there would have been trouble for the whole of Mossflower. <br />
<br />
As well as being an amazing master of disguise, Midge could also perform magic tricks, which he used to impress vermin in the Rapscallion camp while in disguise. The trick he did most often was pulling chestnuts out from inside Rapscallion's ears. Midge also knew good vermin accents and speaking patterns; during their infiltration, he would not allow Tammo to speak due to the younger hare's terrible vermin accent. Midge and Tammo were suspected by [[Rinkul]] almost at once, but managed to fool the other vermin and succeed in their mission despite several close calls. [[Lousewort]] was left to guard them, but Midge and Tammo outwitted the rat and escaped. Midge later took part in the [[Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand]], and survived to continue serving in the Long Patrol.<br />

===Trivia===<br />
*"Midge" is the term for several families of very small insects - an appropriate name for a shorter than average hare. <br />
*Besides Midge and Tammo, only one other hare, [[Maudie Mugsberry Thropple|Mad Maudie]], was able to successfully infiltrate a group of vermin as one of their own.<br />
