Adorjan

right|300pxAdorjan is dibbun badger-boy from Frozen Terror.
==Biography==
===Frozen Terror===
Some time ago, he was orphaned near Lilygrove, and eventually wound up at Redwall. He first appears with his friends Skarloey and Teedle Reguba begging Pryce to take them along on their travel to Riftgard, though he forbids it, much to the trio’s irritation. Not long after Pryce left with his father Zimber, Myodes Lightpaw and Saffo, the dibbuns rob the kitchen, getting chased by the current friar Gamut Braebuck and apprehended by Oppo, Skipper Depa, Skarloey’s father foremole Noptar and badgermum Sunspot. Adorjan initially believed he would get away with it due to being an orphan when Teedle and Skarloey get punished, but Sunspot proves him wrong. Days after, they stole paint and began painting the gatehouse, but were caught by Oppo and once more put in a timeout.
About a week later, Blackfire Warfang arrives and lures Myodes' father Onewa Lightpaw into a trap, and kept him since morning. Oblivious to this, Adorjan and co continue their mischief: in this case breaking Sister Diffen's window with a toy, and while Adorjan was the guilty one, all three were grounded. This became the last straw as they began to resent being in the abbey and its rules, and conspired to runaway. They seize their chance when Blackfire returns and with the abbey distracted, the threesome sneak out a postern and into the woods. None were aware that Blackfire had witnessed their escape and was following them. Upon meeting, the dibbuns were initially fearful, but Blackfire comes peacefully with an offer: join her horde so they won't have to worry about authority again. Skarloey shrugs while Teedle was more reluctant and Adorjan, after thinking it over, accepts without hesitation. Upon arriving at her camp, Blackfire made sure the dibbuns were now allies of the Black Death Army and should be treated as such, though none of them know that Blackfire intends to use them into hopefully defeating the abbey. Adorjan also discovers Onewa was a prisoner, though Adorjan doesn't hide the fact that he and his friends joined Blackfire, which horrifies Onewa. The vole tries to reason with him, but Adorjan, still full of hate towards Redwall's strictness, blows him off and leaves. The next day, Blackfire takes the dibbuns to Redwall to reveal they've switched sides and the three certainly prove it by scowling with hatred, and their presence almost defeated Redwall right there, and divided them. 
The trio join the vermin into attacking the abbey, though Blackfire requested them to stay on the sidelines, intending to use them as a last resort should the odds be against her, but they began to regret joining as they see the carnage. A freed Onewa and Depa catches them and uses their horror to win them back, but only succeeded with Teedle as Adorjan wasn't ready to forgive and forget, and both he and Skarloey flee, deserting both Redwall and Blackfire. They arrive at Brockhall, where Adorjan deduces it will be their new home. His attempts to open the door were futile, in part because he was pulling when he should've pushed (and he became quite peeved at finding this out), and worse Skarloey's father Noptar finds them and Skarloey decides to reconcile. When Adorjan does open the door to Brockhall, he unwittingly disturbs an Ornithodesmus who tries to make a meal out of him. Noptar holds the dinosaur off while the dibbuns flee, but Adorjan's stubbornness hasn't diminished one bit, leading Skarloey and Teedle to all but abandon him. At first Adorjan continues to try running away, but has a change of heart when he finds Noptar mortally wounded, and worse, the dromaeosaur had been following in the hopes to finish him. Luckily Teedle and Skarloey return with Yaddle and Brother Tahu Reguba. Adorjan was stunned that his friends would come back to help even after abandoning him, but was grateful and finally does forgive Redwall. Blackfire and her army were also defeated at this time.
By morning, Adorjan was officially reintegrated in Redwall. Pryce Saffo and Myodes returned later, with Adorjan and his friends begging them to tell their story. It's safe to say Adorjan continued to live in Redwall up into adulthood.

At some point, he left Redwall and moved into Salamandastron, where he came under the tutelage of Adelmo Bowstripe. One day Adorjan was forging a lance, but Adelmo pointed out some flaws. When Lotte Spikethumb Thropple enters the room Adelmo suddenly gets a vision. To Adorjan's horror, it revealed that vermin would attack Redwall again, and resolved to return there himself. Adelmo later hands him his old armor, plus a shield and Orlando's ax (he was particularly amazed to get the ax), and sets off with several hares lead by Malani Swiftback on the backs of Ornithocheirus.
En-route, his pterosaur began to tire and though he didn't want to stop, he knew it was best. Upon making a stop, they come across a herd of Pelorosaurus. Eventually they were rested enough to continue onto Redwall, but were suddenly interrupted by a Neovenator attacking the sauropods, who panic and stampede toward the Long Patrol, claiming several lives. Adorjan himself survives and after burning their dead, take to the air. They continued to travel well into night, but once again began suffering fatigue and needed to rest. Adorjan opted to spend the night in a clearing and was quick to fall asleep. When day arrived they continued.
They eventually do make it to Redwall, where Adorjan reunites with several of his friends, like Teedle and Skarloey, and meets knew ones like Muscardinus, the daughter of Pryce and Cilghal. He also apparently met Retto Wildlough before. Not long after, Adorjan was filled in on the vermin that were threatening Redwall, and was disappointed to hear he already missed some action despite coming early, but he expressed joy at the prospect of tackling a wearet. Around sunset, he was admiring Skarloey learning how to be a foremole, however the vermin chose that moment to attack. Adorjan took part in the battle, and while it isn't known what he was doing at first, he later had to save Vaniel Wildlough from the wearet Acheron. The fight got interrupted by a dinosaur calling out, and after the vermin decided to leave, Adorjan helped gather the dead and the wounded: he himself transported a barely alive Vaniel into Redwall, but due to the vermin's Springald damaging Redwall's portcullis so badly that it couldn't be raised all the way, Adorjan had to take off his shield and squeeze in. Sadly, he discovers Noptar was fatally wounded, though the foremole wished Adorjan luck in becoming a badger-lord. Not long after, Pica Eipgam uses the very dinosaur (a Baryonyx) to breech through Redwall's defenses. Adorjan took part in stopping the creature and it eventually gives up.
When day came, they decided to meet Pica at his doorstep. Adorjan was among those who went out to confront the vermin and got another chance at Acheron, and eventually managed to fatally wound the wearet, but it was not until he wretched the ax out of Acheron's torso that Adorjan truly won. At the same time Pryce defeated Pica and left him to die. 
Adorjan happily returned to Redwall where he received a joyous and relieved welcome by Skarloey and Teedle. Later, he and the hares pack up to return to Salamandastron. When Adorjan does so, Adelmo and co had been waiting, though Adorjan, for once, would rather stick to forgery. He continued to live at Salamandastron since, and it can be assumed he'll one day succeed Adelmo.
==Appearance==
He wears a yellow-cote and green-renaissance cap. As an adult he wears pink-shorts. He received a shield and Orlando's ax as his weapons.
==Personality==
Unsurprisingly, Adorjan was like any other dibbun, but among his friends, he was the most rebellious. He often believed being parentless would let him get away with his antics, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Like most kids his age, he viewed rules and authority to be the bane of fun and games, and jumped at the chance to escape it: he was even desperate enough to turn to Blackfire to get out of such a life.
Despite his resentment toward anyone and anything strict, he does have morals: he was disgusted by Blackfire's warmongering, but didn't believe that made the Redwallers better, at first. He also won't leave a woodlander to die, not even the ones he hates: when he found Noptar near-death, he actually chose to bring him to Redwall to ensure he survives rather than leave him to die.
