Asmodeus is by no means a neutral character in the Redwall saga, an innocent victim by which the woodlanders project their thoughts and fears. If "neutral" is to suggest that he neither sides with the Redwallers or Cluny the Scourge, than this is accurate, however to suggest that Asmodeus is neutral in the sense that he is neither good nor evil is patently false. With the first introduction of the snake, Jacques describes him as "the most evil-looking adder that had ever been born". Later, Asmodeus is referred to as the "slivering evil", and having "evil poisoned fangs".
