Full Name: General Claudius
Nick Name(s): 'Sir', 'Captain,' 'General',-Horde members. 'Big Kitty'- the same Horde members behind his back
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 47
Species: Scottish Wildcat
Appearance: Typical of a Scottish Wildcat; big, muscular, powerful and sinewy. Purebred, with not a hint of feral cat in his genes. Dark brown fur with darker stripes and no spots. Light tan muzzle and paws. Thick bushy tail. Bright amber eyes. Body criss-crossed with scars. Typically wears a silver chest-plate with a red kilt and cape.
Personality: Claudius is quite a cut above the average hordebeast, and knows it. He talks with supreme sophistication which disguises a ruthless demeanor. He is immensely strong, on par with the average adult male badger, and likes to throw his weight around his inferiors to assert his authority. Perhaps unusually with hordebeasts, he is by no means a coward, and is often found at the very front of a charge, snarling with fury, intent on tearing his enemy limb from limb. (Although he would never admit it, the one enemy that terrifies him out of his wits is 'that big black bloody dog' that is a constant danger to the Horde. He tries to stay well out of her way when their two forces clash).
Claudius is also very greedy, and would like nothing better than to seize total control over the horde and the land. He takes great pride in his pure wildcat heritage, and looks down and spits upon other cats, not finding them worthy to even meet his eyes.
Allies: Cremsin Fireslayer (though hates him in not-so-secret, as is horde-captain norm), the rest of the horde.
Enemies: Redwallers, Salamandastron Hares + Lord, The Wrath
Strengths: Physical strength, agility, ferocity, cunning, ruthlessness, weaponry prowess.
Weakness: Arrogance, Fear of Water, Fear of fire (unfortunate given his leader), Superiority complex.
Goal: To overthrow Cremsin, conquer Redwall, and become ruler of the surrounding lands (*laugh-track in the distance*)
Background: Born in the harsh Highlands of the north, the fierce nature of Claudius's noble ancestors made itself clear from a young age. At 15, he challenged and killed his father for control of their mountain stronghold and all of its inhabitants. Those who protested were thrown to the pike in the loch by Claudius's already faithful supporters.
Others soon began to flock to the new young King; pine martens, ravens, foxes, stoats, and eventually, Cremsin Fireslayer. The two horde-leaders agreed to a terse alliance at first, until neither could bear the tension for much longer and a fight for dominance broke out. The flame-coloured mink won, inevitably, but surprisingly decided to spare the skilled fighter's life.
Claudius served as a reluctant captain from then onwards, always supporting Cremsin in his decisions as it was the smart thing to do, and the mink was a powerful ally and a dangerous enemy. But his eyes and ears are always alert for the slightest opportunity, when the golden claws come off and the cat can pounce.
Weapons: Claws + Teeth, Broadsword
