Vurg

Vurg was a male mouse member of Luke the Warrior's tribe, a member of his crew when he captained the Sayna, and Luke's best friend. After Vilu Daskar's crew massacred Luke's tribe, Vurg was the first to get him to come to his senses.

Some time later, the Sayna was smashed by the Goreleech. Vurg was the only crew member from the ship to both survive the wreck and not get captured by Vilu Daskar's crew and forced into slavery. Vurg wept long and hard at the terrible tragedy, believing himself to be the only resident of the Twin Islands. He then encountered Beau, who had survived being thrown overboard during a storm and washed up there. Together, Beau and Vurg attempted to build a raft to follow the Goreleech, but it was far from sea-worthy. Bolwag, the sea lion, helped by providing them with sticky, bubble-filled bladderwhack.

Aided by Bolwag and a school of bottlenose dolphins, Vurg and Beau caught up with the Goreleech and hid themselves around the side of it. They were pulled along in the wake of the boat until they reached the North Shores. All through the journey they stole food and weapons from Vilu Daskar and his crew and took them to the slaves below decks. Vurg and Beau also played a large part in the escape attack organized by the slaves.

Luke brought Vilu to his demise by crashing the Goreleech, which Vurg also survived. He then lived for many seasons in the front half of the Goreleech, renamed Arfship, with Denno, Dulam, and Beau.

When Martin the Warrior visited the North Shores in search of news regarding Luke, he found Vurg sleeping in his father's old cave near a small fire. Upon awaking, Vurg saw Martin and believed him to be Luke due to their similarities in appearance. Vurg showed Martin and his friends the location of the Arfship and told Martin the story of his father. Vurg, as well as his companions, relocated to Redwall Abbey and traveled there with Martin and his friends.
