The Wraith

The Wraith was a male weasel who followed Swartt Sixclaw's horde; his activity was discovered by Nightshade. He was skinny, undersized, and had no teeth; when the Wraith spoke he extended his Rs. Wraith carried a tiny poisoned stone knife and had the ability to camouflage himself against any background because of his mottled fur. However, he was not very strong or powerful and relied on stealth.

The Wraith was enlisted by Swartt to assassinate Sunflash the Mace in exchange for half of the Salamandastron pillaging. To demonstrate his deadly killing methods, Wraith slew Glimpy in front of Swartt.

Wraith climbed up the mountain to get to Sunflash. However, when he leapt from underneath the window ledge to attack the unsuspecting occupants, two otter "rockcreams" (rocks covered with meadow cream) thrown by Porty at Folrig Streampaw and Ruddle Banksnout missed and hit the Wraith instead, sending him flying into space and causing him to accidentally tumble off of the side of Salamandastron to his death; during this debacle he also accidentally stabbed himself in the jaw with his own knife.

The Lost Legends of Redwall

The Wraith is mentioned in The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Act II, with one story concerning the origins of the Winsome Wraith suggesting that the ship was once gifted to Swarrt by the Wraith.
