Drander was a large, strongly built young hare in the Long Patrol under Violet Wildstripe. He was one of the hares picked to go the High North Coast with Rake Nightfur to make an alliance with Skor Axehound's Rogue Crew. He was not the brightest of hares, and often got in trouble with his superiors, including the time he tried to out-box Sergeant Nubbs Miggory Drander was slain during the battle against Razzid Wearat's crew at Redwall Abbey; he was protecting Buff Redspore and Lancejack Sage when a vermin soldier speared him through the back.
