Jenkin Nettle was the son of Isaac and Meg Nettle. Jenkin's father acted very cruel to him, giving the young mouse beatings if he did something Isaac found unacceptable. Deep down, Isaac did love his son, but always blamed him for the death of his wife Meg who died giving birth to Jenkin. Once, Jenkin had been in love with Alison Sedge, but after she received her Sign of Grace and Beauty their relationship ended because she had become vain. Sadly, Jenkin was killed and eaten by Mahooot, and Isaac discovered the owl pellet containing his son's mousebrass soon after.
