Mangiz

Mangiz was a somewhat successful crow seer from the Northlands who served as General Ironbeak's strong right wing and consultant. He saw Redwall Abbey in his visions and advised Ironbeak to attack it, but when he arrived there, his visions were clouded by images of Martin the Warrior. Mangiz saw how much Martin meant to the Abbeybeasts, and advised Ironbeak to try and steal Martin's tapestry. The plan failed.

Mangiz was very superstitious, but yet had a large influence over the beliefs of the rooks serving under Ironbeak. When Cornflower and Constance began playing their trick of dressing Cornflower up in Martin's old armor while Constance called out in a scary voice, Mangiz began to be afraid of Martin. The rooks also lost morale, often retreating to the dormitories and locking themselves in. Mangiz wisely hid his fear, as General Ironbeak was not very tolerant with those rooks that were afraid. Mangiz also started lying about what he saw in his visions to please his General.

Mangiz in the Redwall TV Series.

During the final struggle between the Abbeybeasts and the birds, Ironbeak was killed by Stryk Redkite. Mangiz tried to rally the disheartened rooks but did not see Constance coming and was slain by the angry badger mother of Redwall.

TriviaEdit

 * In the Redwall TV Series, Mangiz is depicted wearing an orange scarf and a necklace with a bird skull toggle. This was probably intended to make him distinguishable from the other birds.
 * In the books Mangiz was a crow. However, in the series he appears to be a jackdaw considering his more grayish plumage, yet even in the tv series Ironbeak has referred to him as a crow.
