Ferahgo the Assassin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferahgo the Assassin is a character from the Redwall book series. He is an anthropomorphic weasel.
Ferahgo is a dangerous killer, a master of knife throwing. Long ago, he killed the parents of Badger Lords Urthstripe the Strong and Urthwyte the Mighty. Years later, the assassin arrived in the northern lands, and sought to take over the mountain of Salamandastron. However, he found opposition in the form of Urthstripe and his army.
With his treacherous son Klitch, the poisoner fox Farran, and several other minions, the weasel laid siege to the mountain. However, he found himself beaten time and again. Later, when an army of Urthstripe's allies, led by his brother Urthwyte, arrived at the mountain, Urthstripe was set upon by the assassin, who caused fatal wounds to his head. However, he did manage to take his enemy with him,becoming one of the only villains to take out his enemy, and thus perished Ferahgo, debatably the most deadly individual in Redwall history.
Ferahgo's weapons were a skinning knife, a throwing knife and a morning star mace. His most fearsome trait was his pair of blue eyes, and when he smiled, he became fiercer and crueler. His son Klitch planned to take over the horde shortly after his father's death. However, the young weasel succumbed to poison placed in the water barrel earlier on during the siege at Ferahgo's order.
The voice of Ferahgo was provided by Simon Smithies in the full-cast audiobook.
