Clerun Kordyne was a male hare and the older brother of Buckler Kordyne, son of Adarin Kordyne, son-in-law of Major Doughty, grandson of Feryn Kordyne, husband of Clarinna, and the father of Calla and Urfa. He was brought up at the fortress of Salamandastron, but was a peaceful farmer at heart; unlike his grandfather and brother. He and his wife moved from the mountain to a small farm just east of Redwall Abbey and had two children.
