Rake Nightfur

Rake Nightfur was a black-furred, scar-faced male hare captain of the Long Patrol, originally from the North as evidenced by his accent. He led a score of Long Patrol warriors to find Skor Axehound, leader of the Rogue Crew, on Lady Violet Wildstripe's orders. Rake caught onto the ruse of a group of pygmy shrews trying to steal the female members within the group of hares, and passed the word through the patrol not to drink the drugged wine passed to them.

During their encounter with the Bloodrippers, the Long Patrol met up with the Rogue Crew, and after driving them off, traveled to Redwall Abbey.

Rake was a capable fighter, as demonstrated when he participated in the battle between the Redwallers, Razzid Wearat, and his crew. During the battle, Rake and Skor are credited in slaying Mowlag and Jiboree. Afterwards, Rake was one of the various hares and otters that chased down the remainder of Razzid's crew in the newly captured Greenshroud, which was eventually renamed Posy Gurdy.
