'''Lord Verdauga Greeneyes''' was a male wildcat ruler of [[Mossflower Woods]]. He was the son of Highland [[King Mortspear]], younger brother of [[Ungatt Trunn]], father of [[Tsarmina Greeneyes|Tsarmina]] and [[Gingivere Greeneyes|Gingivere]], and the distant ancestor of [[Squire Julian Gingivere]]. Originally hailing from the [[Northlands|far north]], upon arrival in Mossflower, Verdauga settled in the abandoned fortress [[Kotir]] and began a multi-season oppressive reign over the woodlanders, enforcing his laws with the [[Thousand Eye Army]].

Verdauga collected half of the woodlanders' food as tax, forcing many agrarians to work harder to provide payment or otherwise starve. After the woodlanders [[Great Mossflower War|rebelled]] in opposition, Verdauga quashed their efforts and, to demonstrate that he was not overly cruel, arranged a truce with them. In exchange for providing sustenance for his army and family, he offered to protect them from other potentially worse threats from the North. In contrast, his daughter Tsarmina was unhinged and tyrannical, and when she succeeded her father, a new era of terror spread across Mossflower.

A leader of flair, his many titles included Master of the Thousand Eyes, Lord of Mossflower, Slayer of Enemies, and Ruler of Kotir. He also assembled a [[Treasure of Verdauga Greeneyes|treasure collection]] and hid it inside Kotir. It was found seasons later by [[Redwall Abbey]] residents.

In his old age, Verdauga experienced an illness. His treacherous daughter, Tsarmina, and his healer, [[Fortunata]], poisoned him in an act of usurpation.

Verdauga was known to be one of the more merciful vermin warlords, as he spared the life of [[Martin the Warrior]] after arresting him for trespassing. Verdauga also recognized Martin as a true and courageous warrior. Despite his mercy towards Martin, in previous seasons, he was the complete opposite, having driven the [[Luke the Warrior's Tribe|tribe]] of [[Luke the Warrior]] out of their home, [[Saint Ninian's Church]].

===The Lost Legends of Redwall===
Verdauga Greeneyes is referenced in ''[[The Lost Legends of Redwall]]'' game ''[[Escape the Gloomer]]'' and its companions ''[[The Wildcat Scroll]]'' and ''[[Caverns of Kotir]]''. Verdauga writes and hides a [[Scroll of Inheritance|scroll]] deeming his son as his true heir, though he expresses contempt for both Gingivere and Tsarmina. He also owned [[Verdauga's Amulet|an amulet]].

=== Trivia ===
*"Verd" is the Latin root for "green," and "Auge" means "eye" in German. Hence, Lord Greeneyes.
