Name
Godric The Raven; The Black; The One-Eyed; The Peg Leg; Wielder of the Quill; Wielder of Eagletalon
Rank
Watchguard
Appearance
Godric’s Westercroft blood is obvious from his black, thick and fuzzy fur making him appear round and plump. His appearance is grizzlier than other mice. When he isn’t wearing his black eye-bandage, his right eye is a white blind pearl with a claw scar over it. His left is a black glossy bead. The fur at his chin is white and gray from age. His maw has an overbite, his two milk-white incisors forever visible over his lower jaw.
Godric wears a black tunic beneath his brown wooden bark armor. He wears black gloves on his hands to mostly protect them from when he wields one of his swords “Quill.” Quill was Godric’s main weapon before he discovered the Eagletalon. Quill is a porcupine quill. It’s an excellent piercing weapon, and even more effective as a weapon to tear and disembowel enemies with the microbarbs that cover it. While Quill easily penetrates the skin, it inflicts greater damage being ripped out.
A second weapon at Godric’s side is the Eagletalon. On his numerous patrols, Godric came across the skeleton of a great bird. He took one of its talons and fashioned it into a weapon giving it a handle and shaving its curved back into a sharp edge. The Eagletalon acts as a lengthy dagger or short sword for slicing and its hooked end for jerking aside shields.
With the two weapons at his side, and being a big black mouse, the Watchguard is rather imposing. He walks with a hobble for his left leg is but a wooden peg.

Personality
Godric is quiet for being a Watchguard. His leadership is much different from the other leaders. He doesn’t scream for he feels he doesn’t have to. Godric only tells his Watchers once and they get it. At least the ones who have been under his leadership long enough do. Those who don’t learn when the Westercroft mouse is on them beating the obedience into them. While this may seem like bad leadership to those sensitive types, the Redwatch cannot afford to lose lives over ignorance and incompetence. Therefore, Godric believes his mice to be the most disciplined and focused.
The black mouse emanates an unfriendly aura. When he is about, his mere presence could quiet a room. It could be because of the numerous rumors that have manifested about him. Once the grapevine has gotten ahold of a story, it is never the same. Because Godric is a mouse of few words, he is a mystery, and this mysterious personality has led to many a young mouse skewing his tales.
“They say Godric killed an eagle to get that claw!”
“What? No way!”
“He’s a dark one. I heard Watchers beg to be switched from his squad.”
“It’s because he’s a black mouse. They’re unlucky.”
“Why is he called The Raven? Is it because he’s black?”
“No; it’s because he has a raven for a pet.”
“What? I’ve never seen it.”
“None of us have but that’s what they say.”
“Catshit!”
Godric has gotten into the habit of making few friends for over the years he has lost many. The Watch has taken much life and limb out of him. While the mouse is far from exhausted with the Redwatch cause. He has become desensitized. Everything is business. No feelings go with him to battle. He takes the most logical route, and if it requires sacrifice, then so be it. Some mice may not agree with his methods, but they have proven to be effective.
