Thorton Bletgore

right|300px|link=Special:FilePath/PlaceholderThorton Bletgore is a male general hare of Salamandastron in Creeps from the Deep. He first appears watching the tryouts for future Long Patrol members, also telling Vanto Forgefire that badgers couldn't handle it when he pesters to participate, and when Vanto left, he tries to cheer up Korrina Forgefire. At another point, he teaches Vanto and Mirax Highreach Crumshaw some combat.
Several days later, Passel the Nasty and his corsairs attack the fortress, though they were repelled. In the aftermath, Thorton counted the casualties they suffered: deducing that some have been taken prisoner. After Molayne McGurney assures them of the Redwall-champion Fantina Dubbidge coming to help, Thorton went to survey the corsairs. There, he hears a discussion between Passel and Stumpnose that confirmed his suspicions about prisoners. Unfortunately, Passel finds him, resulting in a chase across the beach until Thorton hid in some plant-growth. After losing Passel, he makes his way back to the fortress, but catches Dashwing spying in it: he tries to lure him in, but Dashwing escapes. Inside, he relays all he knew, and later joins in rescuing the prisoners, but this was what Passel expected and had set a trap: after Thorton lured in Stumpnose to be killed by Korrina, the other corsairs spring the trap. Even so, the woodlanders came prepared by having a second rescue-party save them, so the mission was a success. At night, Corax arrives to tell that the corsairs were attacking the guosim, who had come to help. Thorton was among those rushing out to save the shrews, but not before already losing Fastpaw, Molayne and a few others, who they later buried. They were later joined by Fantina and Neomys, and by morning Thorton joined in confronting the vermin on their turf. Things went a little out of control when some of Passel's corsairs mutiny and try to make off with their ship, forcing Passel to leave in order to save it, and in the process, Fantina follows and gets herself captured. Luckily, the Long Patrol had their own ship, the Lifesavor and boarded it to pursue Passel. 
During the voyage, he went to grab a snack, but finds Vanto stowing away, much to the hare's displeasure, though Thorton reasons the badger was stuck with them anyway, and Neomys accepted him. Not a moment too soon, they start nearing the Sinister Shark, who was scuffling with the Manly Marauders. Thorton hung back during the fighting, usually sticking with Vanto so nothing happens to him. By then Passel was the last one, and he was later killed by Lucian Shellrudd. After parting ways with the marauders and later returning Lucian to Ruddaring, Thorton arrived home at Salamandastron while the Redwall-trio went home themselves. At one point, he and Vanto visit Redwall and Thorton has also gotten a girlfriend.
