Adelmo Bowstripe

Adelmo Bowstripe is the brother of Gald Bowstripe and badger-lord in Frozen Terror.
==Biography==
===Frozen Terror===
He first appears being informed by Vaniel Wildlough, Dile and Wibble Pintips that Riftgard has been taken over by Nihilus the Fiend. Adelmo was particularly alarmed by this as his sister Gald had gone there, and asserts to go and rescue everyone there. After getting some hares to volunteer to join the rescue, Adelmo leads everyone outside to the rookery of pterosaurs. When Vaniel rejoices in mounting one Adelmo was quick to warn him to be careful, then together with the prince and his friends, Zimber, Myodes Lightpaw, Saffo, Pryce and half the Long Patrol (lead by Lotte Spikethumb Thropple), they set off to Riftgard. 
During the journey, he catches Vaniel and Saffo's pterosaurs pranking the otters by making them kiss, and warns them about it. 
Upon reaching the fjord, Saffo disguises herself as Vaniel and lures out several vermin lead by Mustela Sixclaw, all as Adelmo had predicted. Sadly they learn that Vaniel's parents Potamo and Osclor Wildlough were dead, and forbids Dile from going after the prince who ran off in tears (but lets Saffo and Pryce follow). Adelmo also suggests forcing Mustela and his crew to abandon Nihilus since Mustela himself was moral, and the vermin comply. When Myodes unlocks Riftgard's backdoor, Adelmo saw it coming. Upon reaching the dungeon, he finds his sister and frees her with the rest. They then lay siege to the fortress: Adelmo catches Vezok killing the hare Jumpkick and engages the wildcat himself. The two proved equally-matched until Adelmo let slip that he was a seer, gaining Vezok's interest who foolishly lets his guard down. Taking advantage Adelmo knocks Vezok off his feet and kills him. In the end the woodlanders triumph and Adelmo, with his hares and the redwallers, return to the pier where they find Mustela unsure of what to do, so Adelmo suggests he try Castle Marl due to having a vision of it, and the ferret accepts. He continued to reign at Salamandastron since, although at one point he had a vision of Vaniel and Saffo getting married, and later personally saw the wedding.

Adelmo continued to reign at Salamandastron, but he happily accepted the young Adorjan as his apprentice: teaching him how to forge weapons. He was overseeing Adorjan forge a lance, but Adorjan hadn't gotten all of it right. When Lotte arrived to check on them, Adelmo gets a vision showing vermin attacking Redwall. Adorjan was alarmed by this and made the decision to return to Redwall. Adelmo armed Adorjan with his old chainmail-suit, along with a shield and the ax of Orlando the Ax, before sending Adorjan and some hares off.
One night, he gets another vision that shows the ultimate battle between Redwall and Pica Eipgam, and who will die. This however scared him into waking up, and made for the surf to relax. After several more days, he doesn't get another vision to determine the outcome and tries everything to so. He goes to relax in the water again, but this time he finally receives another vision showing that Redwall will win the battle. Upon returning to shore, he ecstatically tells Yarael. His prediction comes true as Adorjan later returns a winner, though Adelmo claims Adorjan still has much to learn to be a proper badger-lord. Undoubtedly, he continued to mold Adorjan in the coming seasons.
==Appearance==
He's only seen wearing chainmail, which he later passed on to Adorjan, and since then wears a grey-shirt and white-trousers. His weapon is a big saber.
