'''Rollo''' was a male bankvole Recorder of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He was the son of [[Lettie Bankvole|Lettie]], who was murdered by [[Slagar the Cruel|Slagar]]'s [[Slagar's Gang|gang]], and the younger brother of [[Cynthia Bankvole]]. As a [[Dibbun]], he was quite mischievous and tended to get into trouble frequently. In his youth, he worked in the [[The Cellar|Abbey wine cellars]]. He idolized [[Basil Stag Hare]] and [[Ambrose Spike]], and was often scolded by his mother for repeating the songs they sang.

Rollo was useful to the Redwallers when solving the riddle [[Martin the Warrior]] spoke to [[Abbot Mordalfus]]. The solution to the riddle would help [[Matthias]], Basil, [[Jess Squirrel]], and [[Orlando the Axe]] complete their quest to find the Abbey's missing young ones. Rollo found Redwall's foundation stone, the [[Abbess Germaine's Tomb|tomb]] of [[Abbess Germaine]], and the [[Top Crow's Riddle|other riddle]] that was inside the book her statue was holding. Rollo, [[Cornflower Fieldmouse]], and [[Mrs. Churchmouse]] solved that riddle, which led to the bird statues on [[The Roof|Redwall Abbey's roof]], which had writing on them. [[Queen Warbeak]] copied it by doing a "rubbing" and with some of her sparrows delivered it to Matthias and company.

After the captured Redwallers returned home, he served as a [[The Bell Tower|Bellringer]] with his sister, Cynthia.

At one point, he was captured by [[General Ironbeak]] and held hostage in Redwall's bell tower. He was rescued by other Redwallers.

As an adult, Rollo became the [[The Gatehouse|Recorder]] of Redwall. He wore spectacles and was fairly learned and intelligent, but not without a sense of humor. He was of great assistance to [[Abbess Tansy|Tansy]], [[Craklyn]], and [[Piknim]] in their search for the [[Tears of all Oceans]]. He ordered the burning of [[Saint Ninian's Church]] after Piknim was murdered by [[Scruvo|jackdaws]] who were residing in it. He was succeeded as Recorder by Craklyn, whom he mentored.
