Corporal Ellbrig was the Lance Corporal of the Long Patrol under Lady Cregga Rose Eyes. He assisted in training new Long Patrol recruits. Ellbrig seemed to be the second-in-command of the army of hares after Drill Sergeant Clubrush. During the Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand he ministered to Trowbaggs' wounds after he had been unsportingly struck by a vermin, with Shangle Widepad providing them cover.
