Abbot Humble
Humble was a male hedgehog leader of Redwall Abbey during the Seasons of the Savage. Prior to serving as Abbot, he was a Cellar Keeper and extremely knowledgeable on many cordials and ales. He was a cousin of Hitheryon Jem.
Two seasons after the death of Abbess Furtila, Humble was appointed Abbot by a Council of Elders. It took much persuasion to convince Humble to accept the role, and even then only under certain conditions - he refused to reside in the traditional Abbot's dormitory, choosing instead to sleep in the cellars as he had always done. He also refused to abandon his barrels of various brews, and checked them every morning upon waking.
Humble trained Burlop, his Cellar Keeper successor, and assisted him in his duties. He considered Burlop to be the son he never had.
