==Biography==
A close friend of Saba, whom he knew since they were dibbuns, Tash was first seen accompanying Saba back to her guosim, only to find their camp trashed and many dead beasts, including Saba's parents, and corsairs. They later came to Redwall to report this, but Tash was interrupted by Tailfight the sparrow tackling him in joy, even so they still revealed their discovery.
At night, Tash received a dream about surviving guosim living as slaves to an evil bird. and was stunned to hear his friends (Saba, Tailfight and Backle Squirrel) had the exact same dream, and had a good guess why. He was then seen teaching Saba how to fight with Martin's sword.
A few days later, the raven Commander Steeltalon arrives demanding the abbey to surrender (Steeltalon also praised Tash for knowing about Steeltalon's ancestor General Ironbeak). When a battle erupted, Tash took to protecting a wounded Luminara from the corsairs, and gave Saba some confidence in tackling Steeltalon, and at one point kills the weasel Takadox. After all but Steeltalon had been dealt with, he tells the raven he's now alone, but Steeltalon escapes. He then consoles his father Naltlim Stag Otter, who was depressed at being beaten by the raven and therefore unworthy to take his son's place for the upcoming mission. Sometime later, he and his father exchange a farewell and Tash left with his friends.
Tash and co encountered many things on their trek, such as the elderly weasel Parsinkel, a pack of Pelecanimimus hunting wild horses, and a grass snake named Bablo who was attacked by Steeltalon and used as bait for the woodlanders. Tash was certain the snake was friendly, though Backle's warnings to stay away proved sound as Steeltalon showed up out of nowhere. Tash tackled the raven with everyone else, and Saba eventually killed him.
The next day, they arrive at Salamandastron to ask Brockthorn the Sturdy and the Long Patrol for assistance, who oblige, then attack Steeltalon's ship, the Steelwing. Tash was instrumental in this fight as his swimming helped take out a good portion of corsairs on the ship, the last being a rat named Chikai. After that, Tash and his friends, now joined by thirteen Long Patrol hares lead by major Kimiko Thyme Dillworthy, set sail to Terramort Isle, where they believe the slavery is taking place.
During the voyage, Tash makes fun of Tailfight for getting seasick, though he himself doesn't like saltwater, as proven when he digs some from his bellybutton. Sometime after he was disguised as a corsair with Bablo (complete with a giant skull & crossbones tattoo on his chest per Kimiko's request), then got to test his disguise by conversing with another ship passing by, where they discover the lead slaver is a seagull named Snoke the Vicious.
They eventually get near Terramort, and with Bablo, Tash got to meet Snoke personally, putting him slightly off in awe. He was also carrying Martin's sword to avoid giving themselves away. Though they did make it on the island and into the slave-camp, another shrew Saba knew as Yeal gives away her status as Redwall's champion, and it became a battle to the death. During the battle he meets a female otter named Kagalin and they fall in love, though since Tash ditched the corsair pants, his infatuation also showed his genitalia. He then came across Rarkim: a dormouse who actually works with Snoke, but isn't very loyal, and doesn't hesitate to attack the otter, though Tash avoids injury.
After the fight, he offers Kagalin to come with him to Redwall, who agrees, though it also turns him into a laughing stock. Upon returning to Redwall, he introduces her to his parents, who take enjoyment in teasing him and pity on her. Sixteen seasons later, it was said he took his father's place as skipper of their holt, married Kagalin, and now has a son of his own.
==Appearance==
He wears nothing but a utility-belt and a sash (which became is undoing when sexually aroused). Like most otters he wields a javelin and a sling.
==Personality==
He's a bit of a goofball, but can be serious when necessary. Like his ancestor he is a professional actor and can change his voice with ease.
