Nadaz
Nadaz was a male purple-robed rat resident of the kingdom of Malkariss, and the leader of the Blackrobe Rats. He acted as a sort of mouthpiece or viceroy for Malkariss, conveying recent happenings and receiving orders from the polecat. Nadaz was in charge of the slaves and led the army when Matthias attacked, though he didn't actually fight. His title was "Voice of the Host."
When Nadaz realized that Malkariss would lose to Matthias, he hid inside the vacant polecat statue and dreamt of being the new ruler after Malkariss' demise. He was killed when Matthias and Orlando the Axe hacked down the statue, causing the underground world to collapse in the process.
Nadaz was known to wield a scepter with a skull on top of it, and used this to command his ruthlessly efficient but completely silent Blackrobes.
Personality
[edit]While he entertained the idea of ruling over the kingdom of Malkariss, Nadaz did hold some loyalty to his boss as he was offended when Slagar made demands of his master.
In The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout, a letter signed by "the Voice of the Host" is among the items that can be found by Sophia Ryemaid. fr:Nadaz ru:Надаз
