Dark Mouse (Kenneth V.) was the founder and administrator for the large vermin based Redwall Online Community club known as Dark Mouse's Cove. Due to the success of Dark Mouse's Cove, this ROC character became well known between 1998 - 2002. He was also the founder of the first vermin online publication known as the Dead Parrots Tavern in 2000 and the founder of Cove Productions which administered various vermin based clubs and assisted others in setting up their own such clubs. Dark Mouse was one of the first characters in the ROC to adopt the concept of a vermin-based goodbeast character.
