Reggie Swordmaid

right|300pxReggie Swordmaid is a the twin brother of Russell Swordmaid in Parus Rides Again.
==Biography==
When he finds his brother missing, he Howard Axehound and Sasha Churchmouse try to find him, but instead, find the redwallers Kav Furrel, Myotis, Erinaceus Quill, Alzbeta Grang and Spinus, and the hares Jaxxon Thistledown and Poove, who were all after the great tit Parus the Manipulator, who had abducted their loved ones (Kav's daughter Freja Furrel, Alzbeta's brother Ganner Grang, Jaxxon's daughter Kasper Thistledown and the otter Zonder Banksnout, and seasons earlier killed Myotis' parents), leading Reggie to fear that Russell has also been caught by Parus. They spent the night at Reggie's home, where he had to tell his parents, and the next morning, he and his two friends set off with the seven, brining their group up to ten, and later by luck run into the guosim. Log-a-log Raoul sends up to ten shrews to join the ten, one of them being Láilá Bigboat, bringing the party up to twenty. Later in the day, they arrive at a swamp, but none saw Parus watching from the air. She later springs a trap on them: sending an army of toads to get rid of them, but it gets worse when a Baryonyx, unintentionally provoked by Poove, joins the attack. Reggie tried to best it, but it was a failure and the dinosaur manages to corner all except Howard in a dead-end cave, but Howard manages to lure the dinosaur away, and once they were clear, Howard claims to have seen all their loved-ones temporarily free. Continuing to trek through the swamp, they make the gruesome discovery of finding Whitebelly dead and headless, commenting Jaxxon having experience with autopsies nasty, and doesn't seem to have heard about Gulo the Savage's cannibalistic behavior. Leaving the carcass behind, they set up camp in a clearing for the night, though during the night, Myotis arrives with Freja's friends Zootoca, Gjord and Algot Muskar, and the party reluctantly take them along.
On the next sunset, Reggie begins to feel his brother was in danger. After dawn, they finally catch up to Parus' lackeys at Great Inland Lake, only to find them in the midst of an argument. After Sasha kills Brownarm, they learn that Parus ditched them and took the slaves alone to Marlfox Island. Howard immediately kills Spearbeak when she tried to attack, while the remaining three (Fuzzface, Botaurus and Xof Chopsnout) smartly surrender. They later take their prisoners with them to the island by swimming in the water, but a freshwater plesiosaur claims the vermin's lives, leaving them to come up with a new plan. Luckily they reach Marlfox Island, then break free all the slaves before finding their loved ones, but after reuniting with their intended targets, Brafilius catches them in a trap, and the woodlanders were immediately backed up by the freed slaves. During the battle that ensued, Reggie, along with Spinus and Poove, tackle the wildcat, but Poove was defeated. Reggie leapt onto Brafilius, but was thrown off, losing his vest in the process, and he didn't take kindly to that, only to be embarrassed by Laila that his bellybutton was exposed anyway. When Brafilius was about to kill him, Spinus moves in and harasses him, only to be swatted away like a bug, but this nevertheless prompted Reggie not to hold back in killing Brafilius, eventually slashing the cat's legs, causing him to fall on Reggie, but the squirrel doesn't notice and attacks again, slicing halfway through Brafilius' skull before getting smothered. Crawling out, he finds the cat was dead, and went to check on Spinus. In the end, Parus was killed by another Brancasaurus, but it was too late for Spinus, with Reggie presenting his body to the others, with Kav remarking he was the reason they knew about the abductees in the first place. He later visits Redwall, but becomes annoyed at Poove having trouble proposing to Alzbeta, though she accepts anyway.
