'''Pandion Piketalon''' was a fierce male fish osprey resident of [[Green Isle]]. He was caught in a net by [[Riggu Felis]] and an iron barb was lodged in his mouth. When Riggu's sons, [[Jeefra]] and [[Pitru]], were unable to kill him, the wildcat attacked Pandion himself. Pandion seriously wounded Riggu and escaped into [[Mossflower Woods]], where he was captured by [[Frogeye]] and taunted by [[Groffgut]]. He was freed by [[Tiria Wildlough]], who claimed the barb, and her companions [[Brinty]], [[Tribsy]], and [[Girry]].<br />
<br />
They restored the osprey to health at [[Redwall Abbey]], where he met [[Brantalis Skyfurrow]]. The two birds did not hit it off very well, and often squabbled. However, for all of his fierce nature, Pandion got along well with the Redwallers. During an afternoon tea on the Abbey's front [[The Lawns|lawn]], [[Sister Doral]] played her fiddle while [[Dibbun]]s, including [[Taggle]], [[Grumby]], and [[Groop]], danced to the music. Pandion and Brantalis joined them in a jig that pleased the young ones.<br />
<br />
Pandion accompanied Tiria and the [[Long Patrol]] to Green Isle so that Tiria could take her place as the [[High Rhulain (title)|High Rhulain]]. He helped the otter leader, [[Leatho Shellhound]], break out of his cage and brought news of the High Rhulain's arrival to the [[Otter Clans of Green Isle|otter clans]]. Pandion also rescued Leatho from the burning [[Fortress of Green Isle|fortress]]. When Riggu later recognized the hawk, he threw a war-axe at him, killing the bird. <br />
<br />
Tiria later created a monument for him in his memory.<br />
