Husk

From Mistmantle Chronicles Wiki

Husk is a slightly insane, possibly possessed squirrel. In Book 1, he murders the Prince and exiles Crispin, and attempts to displace the King. Upon Crispin and Urchin's return, he deuls with Crispin, but when he sees Hope, he goes mad, thinking its the Prince's ghost, coming for revenge. He then jumps to his death. He was Aspen's husband, and due to an earlier incident with a young squirrel maid, he is Juniper's father.
