Verdauga Greeneyes

Verdauga Greeneyes is an anthropomorphic wildcat in the book "Mossflower" from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Verdauga was voiced by Dave Foode in the full-cast audiobook. The name "Verdauga" is a Latin derivation meaning "green eyes."

Verdauga was a warlord of Mossflower Woods, who ruled the fortress Kotir with the Thousand Eye Army. He was the son of Highland King Mortspear, the younger brother of Ungatt Trunn, and the father of Tsarmina and Gingivere. He hailed from the far north and settled in the abandoned fortress of Kotir to rule the native woodlanders for many seasons.

A leader of flair, his many titles included Master of the Thousand Eyes, Lord of Mossflower, Slayer of Enemies, and Ruler of Kotir. Late in his old age he suffered from an unknown illness and was tricked and poisoned by the joint efforts of his healer, Fortunata, and his treacherous daughter, Tsarmina, who took over his position.

Verdauga is known to be one of the more merciful of evil warlords and certainly a just ruler, as he spared the life of Martin the Warrior after having his guards bring him to Kotir for trespassing. Despite his mercy towards Martin, in previous years he was the opposite, having driven the tribe of Luke the Warrior out of St. Ninian's.
