Raga Bol

Raga Bol is an anthropomorphic rat from the novel "Loamhedge" in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Raga Bol was a tall and sinewy searat with green eyes. His ship was wrecked on the northeast coast of Mossflower, and there he lost his left paw in a battle with Lonna Bowstripe. The badger, sorely wounded, swore revenge on Bol, and Bol spent the rest of his life in morbid fear of all badgers. Raga Bol replaced his missing paw with a silver hook.

Bol led his crew inland after finding out that Lonna was still alive, hoping to lose his sworn enemy. He was plagued by visions and poor sleep, driving him to finally consult a seer, who advised him to send assassins out for Lonna. However, they were foiled by the powerful badger. Raga Bol's crew later captured two stoats from another vermin gang. Bol was about to roast them two alive, but they promised him booty, loot and magic swords, if he would follow them to Redwall Abbey. Bol tried several times to enter the Abbey, but had no luck. Among his strategies were trying to climb through a window and burning down the front door itself. When Lonna arrived at the Abbey, the besiegers quickly became the besieged. Bol realised that all hope of taking the Abbey had been shattered, and decided that survival and escape now came first. He challenged Lonna to single combat, but not before he instructed his crew to throw spears and kill the badger if things were going badly. Lonna got Raga Bol in a death grip almost immediately. In addition, four spears thrown by his own crew thudded into his back, making sure he was well and truly dead. The rest of his crew was hunted down and killed, to a beast, by the vengeful Badger Lord.
