Raoul

right|300pxRaoul is a male shrew and log-a-log of Invasion of Bugs.
==Biography==
He first appears birdwatching when he and his guosim smelled the scent of Wuya the Toxic, and got into battle mode. They waited for Wuya to show up, but one of his shrews chose to recklessly charge to where Wuya was. Raoul tried to stop him, but Wuya got him first and killed him. Raoul and his guosim eventually battled her, but she either killed or defeated just about all of them, leaving Raoul the last one standing, but he too was beaten, and would've been killed too had Volkner Streamdog and his otters not show up, leaving Raoul and only a dozen or so shrews still alive. He and the survivors were brought to Redwall by his cousin Abbot Giotto and Scarlette Broadstripe. Eventually, he was healed enough to attack the vermin using a Mangonel, and though it was destroyed, it turned out to be a diversion, though the vermin failed anyway.
Sometime the next day, he and Brother Esuom run into Koga, who was looking for his son Darovit, and after hearing that Darovit may have left the abbey, alert everyone. The search that followed was a failure, and Raoul turned to deducing where Wuya was based: some believe Wuya was at Moledeep due to Parus the Manipulator robbing it, but were skeptical because Parus was a con-artist, leaving Raoul to believe the only way to confirm it is to send someone out to it, which would be risky, and when Volkner's search of Saint Ninian's and Brockhall turned up nothing, began to believe Moledeep was in fact the place.
He wasn't seen again until Wuya was let in the abbey by Darovit, who returned, and taken prisoner with everyone else. Darovit later freed them and Raoul joined in slaying the vermin, and squares off with Bigjaw, and while it was intense, Raoul won the fight. Sadly his fellow shrew Genevieve was killed by Scalewing, though she was immediately avenged by Darovit, much to Raoul's happiness. At the same time Wuya was killed by Kav Furrel. He and his surviving guosim later returned to their old ways.
He was still a log-a-log several seasons later. One day, he reunites with the four redwallers, and meets their new friends Spinus, Jaxxon Thistledown, Poove, Reggie Swordmaid, Sasha Churchmouse and Howard Axehound. He learns that all were hunting Parus, who was still alive and had recently taken their loved ones (Kav's daughter Freja Furrel, Alzbeta's brother Ganner Grang, Jaxxon's daughter Kasper Thistledown, Reggie's brother Russell Swordmaid and the otter Zonder Banksnout). Raoul was willing to help, but Kav didn't want the whole guosim to accompany out of fear other vermin will attack Redwall in his absence like General Ironbeak did while Matthias hunted Slagar the Cruel. In the end Raoul gave ten shrews, one being Láilá Bigboat, and saw all twenty off.
Raoul eventually makes it to Mossflower-Woods by sunset, where Bairdon Bardwing finds them, and as Kav dreaded, there was indeed another group vermin threatening Redwall. With Bairdon, Volkner and Koor, they come across the Brownrat-tribe. Raoul boldly walks right into view, meets their leader Göte Kurdly and warns they were on dangerous grounds. Göte initially thought the abbey she was planning to burglarize was some other fortress entirely, and when she finds out otherwise, chose to leave the premises. Raoul in particular claimed he had assumed they wouldn't be as dangerous or obsessed and prone to believing in the supernatural, and ultimately wound up right. The next day, he and his guosim kept guard in Mossflower-Woods, setting up camp with Volkner and Giotto's help, but found no other vermin whatsoever, and wasn't seen again after this.
