Methuselah (Redwall)

Methuselah (Redwall)

Methusaleh is an anthropomorphic mouse in the book "Redwall", the first of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Methuselah was voiced by Colin Bean in the full-cast audiobook.

Methuselah is the oldest member of Redwall. He has seen many an Abbot and Abbess come and go, he has seen the Summer of the Late Rose thrice, and he has spent untold years studying the languages of all animals, as well as the history of Redwall and Mossflower Country. He is a Recorder, and therefore the Gatekeeper, because the two positions have remained together since the foundation of the Abbey. Only after many years is the Recorder separated from the Gates. Methuselah took a special interest in the saga of Martin the Warrior, consequently taking interest in Matthias, in whom he saw many of the traits that distinguish a hero, going so far as to aid Matthias in finding the Sword of Martin.

Methuselah met his death after restoring a tear in the tapestry of Martin the Warrior. The young fox Chickenhound (who later became Slagar the Cruel) was desperately trying to escape from Redwall with a sack of stolen jewelry, and when Methusalah tried to stop him, the fox struck him over the head with the heavy sack, unintentionally killing him.

Later, one of the two new Redwall bells was named after Methuselah, in his remembrance.
