Jabez Stump

Jabez Stump was a male hedgehog resident of Mossflower Woods. He was the husband of Rosyqueen, father of Jube and 10 daughters, grandfather of Higgle and Furlo, and a descendant of Josh Stump. His family lived on the Great South Plateau for many generations.

When his son Jube was taken by Slagar the Cruel, Jabez joined Matthias, Basil Stag Hare, Jess Squirrel, and their companions to pursue the fox. He initially believed Orlando the Axe was responsible for the kidnapping, but he realized his mistake.

After Slagar was defeated and the captives rescued, Jabez and his family relocated to Redwall Abbey, where he helped Ambrose Spike in the cellars. The Stump family thereafter continued the cellar keeping and brewing trade.
