'''Riftun''' was the male rat captain of Captain of the [[Ratguard]] at [[Riftgard]]. He badly mistreated the slaves, more, perhaps, than any other beast. He was the highest-ranking Ratguard, for he knew about the importance of [[King Sarengo]]'s crown and paw ring, but his second-in-command, Lieutenant [[Flith]], did not.

Riftun accompanied [[Princess Kurda]] and her brother on their voyage to recapture [[Trisscar Swordmaid|Triss]], [[Welfo]], and [[Shogg]], and to ensure that Kurda and [[Prince Bladd|Bladd]] didn't kill each other. The [[Freebooters|Freebooter]] crew of [[Plugg Firetail]] took an instant dislike to him, especially the weasel [[Tazzin]].

One stormy night, while Riftun was with Kurda on the [[Seascab|ship]]'s deck, Triss and Shogg's vessel sailed past them. As he was about to throw his [[spear]] and kill Shogg, lightning struck the metal spearhead, killing him instantly. [[Vorto]] succeeded him as captain.

===Trivia===
*Riftun is the only character in the ''Redwall'' series to die from electrocution.
