―Granite threatening Urchin

Granite was a male squirrel and a Captain of Mistmantle during Captain Husk's rise to power, and was one of his biggest supporters. After Husk died, Granite was banished from Mistmantle Island and became Lord Marshal under King Silverbirch on Whitewings Island, where he spent the remainder of his life.

History[]

Urchin of the Riding Stars[]

Granite would be a useful captain. As a fighter, he was unbeatable; as a bodyguard, he would be invincible; and he wouldn’t be troubled with thinking too much. He’d do whatever he was paid to do.
―Husk, about Granite

Granite was Captain Husk's right paw squirrel, one of his most trusted helpers. Captain Husk used his influence over the king to make Granite a Captain, much to Padra's disgust. Being not very smart, Granite followed Husk without questions when he had attempted to overthrow King Brushen so that he would become the new king of Mistmantle. Granite's assignment during the battle on the Spring Festival was to kill Captain Padra, but due to Padra's swordfighting skills he was unable to kill him. In the battle, Granite's left ankle was permanently damaged when he was bitten by Needle, a female hedgehog with unusually sharp spines, who was trying to save Padra in his fight against Granite.

After the battle on Mistmantle had ended and Captain Husk was dead, Granite was permanently exiled from Mistmantle for his support of the traitor, as well as the rest of Husk's supporters.

Urchin and the Heartstone[]

Granite found refuge on Whitewings Island during King Silverbirch's reign along with several of the other permanently exiled animals from Mistmantle who had supported Captain Husk. However, while most of Mistmantle's exiles had become sacrifices for for King Silverbirch's sorcerer Smokewreath, Granite soon befriended King Silverbirch and was promoted to Lord Marshal. When Granite was given a new chamber in the the King's Fortress, he got rid of the furnishings and covered the walls with weapons. When he had finished, it looked more like an armory than a normal bedroom chamber, similar to his arrangement while on Mistmantle. Granite was given a new suit of armor, which he wore with a very large helmet that made him look fearsome in battle.

Granite on Whitewings

During Urchin's imprisonment on Whitewings, Granite took extra lengths to make sure Urchin felt miserable because he blamed the young squirrel and Captain Padra for his exile. When Captain Lugg had been captured by two of King Silverbirch's guards, he humiliated Granite by asking Granite about his permanently injured left ankle. When Silverbirch told Lugg that Lord Marshal Granite had said that Captain Padra had stabbed his foot with his sword, Lugg revealing the embarrassing truth, calling Granite "Lord Marshal of the Hedgehog's Toothmarks", revealing the more embarrasing truth to them, that being that he was bitten by a small female hedgehog.

Granite began to hate hedgehogs after Trail tattled on Bronze by telling Granite that Bronze aspired to replace him as Lord Marshal. Subsequently, Granite ordered Creeper, Silverbirch's assassin and spy, to kill Bronze.

Granite died when a large earthquake shook Whitewings Isle, causing the fortress and the land around it to collapse in on itself. The squirrel commander was last seen trying to climb down one of the Fortress walls, but he was unable to save himself. Granite, as well as everybody else in the Fortress, including Smokewreath and King Silverbirch, died during the collapse.

Appearance[]

Granite was a very tall, broad-shouldered squirrel with very short red fur and a permanently damaged foot due to Needle biting him when he tried to slay Captain Padra during the battle for Mistmantle. He was noted for his claws, which were said to have a powerful grip.

Personality[]

Granite was a rather gruff squirrel, a bit dark and very loyal to Husk. He also had a penchant for collecting weapons, and because of this he was made the head of the armory.
