Dakkan Strongrudder / Kobb
[edit]Probably better known as Kobb. While the character Dakkan is male, his player is female and will be referred to as Kobb in this article.
Fandom history
[edit]Kobb's first Redwall book was Martin the Warrior back in '96 or so, and she has read every book in the series, though generally she prefers the older half. She continued reading in the hopes that little gems of ideas will stir her imagination the way entire Redwall books did in the old days. As it turned out, The Sable Quean and The Rogue Crew were indeed an improvement over their predecessors.
She was an active roleplayer in the ROC (Redwall Online Community) from about 2001-2006, with a more semi-active status until 2007. Nowadays, she only lurks the occasional fan site and draws Redwall fanart from time to time.
Kobb participated in the attempted Mossflower adaptation as a storyboard and character artist. It was... a fun exercise, at least.
The character Dakkan has been developed beyond his Redwall roots and will appear as a main (but not the principal) character in Beyond the Western Deep, an original webcomic which counts the Redwall series among its many influences. It began updating in January 2012.
