Brother Esuom

Brother Esuom is a male mouse and recorder of Redwall in Invasion of Bugs. He was first seen during the feast until Wuya the Toxic showed up at the abbey, where he went to greet her, only to find out she was intending to take over Redwall. He was then seen overhearing Kav Furrel wishing to have Martin's armor and shield to use against Wuya, and he happily brings them to the attic, where the armor and shield were kept, but Kav found he was too fat to wear the armor.
The next day, he and Raoul were together when Koga asks if either have seen his son Darovit, which they didn't, and after hearing that Darovit may have gone out the abbey despite the danger present, Esuom suggested telling Abbot Giotto. They did so, and a search scoured the abbey, but Darovit was nowhere to be found. He then took part in a meeting for where to find Wuya's base of operations, though he was skeptical that Moledeep would be the place despite Parus the Manipulator saying it was, as the great tit had tried to rob them earlier and Esuom suspects Moledeep being Wuya's base to be another lie. 
He isn't seen again until the climax, where Darovit, who returned, let in Wuya and her horde: Esuom himself, along with Erah Grang and her children Alzbeta Grang and Ganner Grang, were taken prisoner by Slashtail, Bigjaw and Goldback. He was later freed and took shelter with the civilians until it was over. 
He was still a recorder twenty seasons later, albeit an old one. One day, Kav's daughter Freja Furrel was causing mischeif with her three friends Algot Muskar, Zootoca, and Gjord, and Esuom tried to help, but his age prevented it. Later, he was helping Hedwig caring for her baby Jori Quill, all the while watching Kav and his father Jala Furrel fishing. He was there when Parus returns (as a circus-performer), and ruins the party being held by kidnapping Freja, Ganner and Zonder Banksnout. The next morning, he saw off Kav, Myotis, Erinaceus Quill and Alzbeta, momentarily getting on Koor's bad side by bringing up General Ironbeak showing up during Matthias' absence, and while he admits he should've kept his mouth shut, he'll end up being right that another vermin will take advantage of Kav's absence. A day later, he and Nomi look up where Parus would take their loved-ones to, receiving breakfast from Mareike in the process. They concluded that Castle Marl would be the most likely destination. He isn't seen for a while until another day where again tends to Jori, this time with Erah's help. Sometime later, he finds Nomi looking at the horizon impatiently, and tries to assure that her husband and daughter will return. In fact the questors do return, with some new faces. He writes another detailed account, and later attends the wedding between Alzbeta and Poove. It can be assumed he remained recorder of Redwall since.
