Vanto Forgefire

right|300px|link=Special:FilePath/PlaceholderVanto Forgefire is the son and heir of Korrina Forgefire.
==Biography==
He first appears complaining about not being allowed in Long Patrol trials due to not being a hare, and eventually left, momentarily watching from his bedroom. The next day, he attempts it himself, and predictably fails at it, where it was witnessed by Mirax Highreach Crumshaw. Long after the arrival of Molayne McGurney, Vanto and Mirax were given some training by Thorton Bletgore. His mother later talks to him, attempting to bond, though it doesn't go well.
On another day, they get attacked by Passel the Nasty and his corsairs. While Korrina and several hares went to confront the vermin, Vanto protected the civilians, but later came to his mother's aid, who had been injured by Passel, and though she scolds him, she was grateful. After Thorton returns from reconnaissance, Vanto proposes capturing some prisoners of their own and do a trade off, but it was shot down when Molayne brought up General Ironbeak taking over half of Redwall by using a tradeoff as a distraction, and he fears Passel might do the same. In the end Korrina decides to secretly save Passel's prisoners, but Vanto was sure there was a trap set and had organized a backup rescue-party just incase. Vanto's suspicions proved correct as his mother and co do walk into a trap, but he and his group save the day.
Despite the victory, the corsairs refuse to give up. While Salamandastron gains the guosim and Fantina Dubbidge the Redwall-champion and her two friends Corax and Neomys, they lose Molayne. Vanto doesn't take part in the fight the next morning, but after Fantina was captured, helped prep the ship Lifesavor for pursuit. Unknown to anybody, he hid inside the ship's cargo hold, and wasn't found until they were long away from shore. Thorton was displeased when he found him, but Neomys accepted him out of suspense he'll be needed. He wasn't however, looking forward to battle.
They arrive to find Passel's side pick a fight with the Manly Marauders, though Vanto joined in and fought alongside Thorton. Eventually, only Passel was left standing, and he was killed by the marauder's woodlander member Lucian Shellrudd. Vanto and the Long Patrol return to Salamandastron, and it's said he became a merchant at some point.
==Appearance==
He wears brown-shorts and a pink-doublet. His weapon is a Halberd.
