Old Quelt

Old Quelt was an ancient male silver-furred squirrel Recorder of Redwall Abbey. He established the Abbey library and served as its first head librarian. Quelt was known for his extreme age, as well as being very knowledgeable; he drank tonic and wore circular, crystal spectacles.

Sister Snowdrop was his assistant and likely successor. Quelt helped solve riddles at Redwall; though he was old, he was also playful, and played small pranks while in pursuit of riddle solutions.
