Lucian Shellrudd

==Biography==
He was first seen engaged in a game with his father until his sister Nee Shellrudd requests them to go fishing. They did exactly that, alongside an otter named Sharkbite, but a strong storm swept in and both he and his father were caught and yanked away from Ruddaring, Lucian being knocked out in the process. When he wakes up, both were left stranded in the middle of the sea on a raft that was also claimed by the waves. They were able to sustain themselves on the fish of the sea, but were in danger of dehydration. Worse, a Platypterygius shows up and without warning claims Fassio for a meal. Lucian tries to save his father, but it was not to be and he was left grieving on the raft alone. The next day, he finds he was near Peace Island, but was too weak to swim to it himself. As luck would have it, he is found and saved by the Manly Marauders, who bring him onboard their ship Ominous Wind and keep him alive, though when he wakes up, he finds they're vermin, which alarms him. Despite this, he was grateful, but still mourning the loss of his father. Vidar had a little chat with him: consoling him and vowing to return him to his home, but not without indoctrinating him into the horde first, something Lucian reluctantly submitted to. As soon as Lucian was back to full health, Vidar gave him a weapon, a tour and some combat training from Wikstrom Figlugg, and at night initiates Lucian into the horde: Torkel Daskar, Vidar's son, brought him over and Lucian noticed not one of the corsairs was hostile at all. Vidar's wife Thorborg Daskar presented him a tattoo, and Lucian settled for an anglerfish, receiving the guidelines and his own bellybutton-ring from Wattson Firetail. The next morning, he had the tattoo finished and Wattson examined the piercing to determine its accommodation, then they receive word that they've arrived at an island, and Lucian reluctantly joins in exploring it, which turned out to be Ranguvar Foeseeker's birthplace.
Sometime later, they arrive at the Twin Isles, where Vidar's daughter Yvonne Cuttlefish Clogg is to undergo a test for her rite-of-passage, and Lucian was enlisted to assist her, much to his dismay, but he relents when Brutaka Droptail reveals he can't handle saltwater very well and Thorborg demanded Lucian insure Yvonne at least survive the test. They eventually come across a torpedo-ray, though Lucian made the mistake of provoking it, receiving a jolt that makes him convulse. Yvonne deemed it the perfect target, and she kills it with a poison dart, then the duo bring it to the Ominous Wind, where her father and his crew were quite impressed, and they celebrate her accomplishment. While Lucian was praised, he decided to leave the party for some solitude and out of loneliness, but Thorborg followed him, where Lucian claims that due to being a woodlander, he shouldn't be with the marauders at all, and while Thorborg agrees on that their races were meant to be enemies, they aren't all different. Lucian did feel better, but this didn't stop him from wanting to return to Ruddaring, which he vows at all cost.
Much later, he was doing an exercise with Wattson and actually began getting attached to the corsairs when Worc alerts them to the arrival of the Sinister Shark, the ship owned by Passel the Nasty. Lucian was understandably terrified, although Torkel comments he had more guts than him for simply revealing his fear. The second the ships come together, the marauders try to attack, only to be stopped by the sight of Martin's sword in Passel's grasp. Lucian, stunned by that sight, immediately demanded how he got it, while Passel, who had suffered serious losses to his crew after attacking Salamandastron, initially wanted to add the marauders to his horde, but canceled it from appalment from hearing them save Lucian, and resolved to slaughter them. Right before they could fight, Corax swoops in and makes him lose the sword, where it was caught by Lucian, claiming he did not deserve it and all his previous fear disappeared. During the fight, he heard Worc warn of an incoming ship full of woodlanders, which were also after Passel. Corax herself personally greets Lucian, unknowingly startling him into almost attacking her, and was informed by her and Neomys that the Redwall-champion Fantina Dubbidge was held prisoner aboard the Sinister Shark (which answered Lucian's earlier question), and all three then went to find and free Fantina. After doing that, they arrive just in time to see Passel kill Vidar, much to Lucian's horror. He at one point killed a marten serving Passel and watched as Passel and Fantina fought, where it was revealed Passel was the last of his crew. When Passel reveals Vidar's death, Lucian heartfully confirms it, but the marauders, having never liked Passel, refuse to side with him, prompting Passel to go berserk and kill Fantina, unwittingly setting off Lucian's fury when the eurypterid accidentally wounds Torkel (though he survives). When the two fell overboard, Lucian went after them, saving Martin's sword before it could be lost, and filled with bloodwrath, slays Passel. Now exhausted, he was brought to the ship Lifesavor by Fantina and helped aboard by Worc and Corax. 
In the aftermath, he happily explains how he wound up with the marauders, and deciding he had no reason to stay anymore, bid them farewell, receiving a group hug from the marauders and was allowed to keep his tattoo, piercing and weapon. The woodlanders happily drop him off at Ruddaring, where he received a joyous welcome from his family and tribe, and went on to tell his adventure. It was later said he become a guardian of the island, teaching the tribe about corsair tactics and combat and even becomes a maid-magnet.
==Appearance==
He wears black-shorts, a belt and teal-bandanna. He later gains a manly marauder's bellybutton-ring and an anglerfish tattoo over it, plus a Lance, all of which he keeps even after leaving the marauders.
