A main character from the comic

Born the son of Mardoqueo and Grace, Montimer is a blue bat of the Alpha variant. He has a brother who was separated from him at a young age.

Montimer is married to Larry, who he met trying to find someone to take care of a young female mouse he saved.

He is portrayed as an individual who is quite caring and loving towards those he likes. Montimer seems to have a very different view of the world due to his relationship with a former mouse friend that passed away.

He is seen breaking and not seeming to even care about the social norms that bind the bats such as "no homosexuality" and "no forming relationships with prey."

## Biography

Montimer is first shown as a possible antagonist when he apparently attacks Larry and tries to force him into servitude, however it is soon revealed that he in fact saved him from another bat and only kidnapped him to make sure that a baby mouse he found does not die because she's left by herself. At first he's quite distant and sometimes even threatens Larry to make sure he does as he wants. Eventually however, he's shown to be caring for Ronnie when she's distressed, going as far as to say he loves her. This is the first step to Larry accepting him in his life. At one point, he breaks his wing and is stuck within the Treehouse where the two mice are. Larry, after some hesitation, helps him recover and cares for him until he's better though he makes it out to be because otherwise he'd starve to death. it is also during this time when Montimer reveals being a vegetarian. When he is later captured by a bat who's revealed to be his father, Larry goes to save him and tells him it's because he's important to him. It's shown that he was forced to eat mammal meat which greatly distressed him. After this point however, the little makeshift family gets along far better, eventually adopting a bat pup who got abandoned and found his way into the Treehouse. After a while as the cold of the eternal winter becomes too much, they pack up and move to the Human House. There, Montimer is attacked by a bat when he tries to save a mouse. The bat grievously wounds him but stops just short of killing him as he recognises Montimer as his brother. Montimer is healed back to health but before he fully recovers, the bats of the attic and the wolves of the basement attack the house together, forcing them into the walls. When they realize that they're still not safe, he uses the fact that he is a bat to scare everyone out into the Forest, being greatly distressed by the fact that he hates being a bat for this reason. When they're safe outside, he leaves Larry in a tree to go and save his brother. He finds him inside the walls being held captive by a trio of alpha bats. He kills one of them in a rage but is soon captured by a wolf who breaks through the wall after hearing the noise he's been making. He gets trapped inside a jar within the basement together with Oliver but thanks to his earnest confessions of regret over never being able to see his family again, a fox helps him escape. When he tries to get the other foxes to escape with them, a wolf bites his wing, causing it to tear beyond repair and leaving him unable to fly. His father find the three of them, reuiniting the family at last. However, Montimer immediately leaves to go find Larry as he still has an intense dislike for how his father treated him during his childhood. He moves to Larry's grandmother's home in the Blue Tail Colony where him and Larry eventually marry. Before this happens however, he travels towards the Bat Colony to denounce his role as alpha after his father dies. It is here that he meets his grandfather who travels back with him to attend his marriage. Melquisedec buys them a ship which they then use to travel along the river.
