Firjak

Firjak was male squirrel resident of Mossflower Woods. He was the son of the area Squirrelqueen and the father of Elmjak. Firjak responsible for allying the Mossflower squirrel and otter tribes. When he was a youth, he was captured by sea rats along with a young otter, Bankrose. Firjak freed himself, killed the sentries, and then rescued Bankrose. He proceeded to carry her to a sycamore tree and held off the rats with his sling and bag of pebbles. His last pebble was a flat green one, later carved into a sycamore leaf as a symbol of the squirrel-otter alliance, and his Oakden.

Firjak was sorely wounded during the sea rat scuffle, and his footpaw was so lamed that he rarely climbed a tree after that, though he did learn to swim as well as an otter. His talisman was given to Sunflash the Mace by Elmjak.
