Another ancient artpiece, featuring the original Kei Fox as he was conceived, that of a Redwall fan-character.

His background story in-book is that he's the son of a cruel slavedriving self-appointed queen vixen. As a child, he sought to annoy his mother by gaining favor with the slaves she had, though his motives were more selfish at the time. Ever slowly, he became more compassionate and caring towards them. An old badger slave kept a sword hidden from discovery and secretly taught Kei to use it, as well as teaching him kindness and respect.

And yes, Braveheart was a big influence to Kei's character, making him Scottish, for one thing.
