He is a kindly otter and is always willing to help out if he can. The Dibbuns of the Abbey are very fond of him. He has always had a soft spot for young ones no matter their species. However there is a harder side to him, the fighter. He will protect what he believes is right with deadly force if needs be but would rather settle things peacfully as he has seen to much fighting in the past. He is a brilliant strategist and leader, you can trust him with your life. However his compassion sometimes gets the better of him and can lead him into trouble if trying to protect something.

History and Background Information:

He was brought up by his father in the north of mossflower having never known his mother. However when he was still young they were attacked by a group of Marl foxes and his father managed to gain time for Gratis to escape but was killed during the fight.
For a long time Gratis wandered the lands toning his body and practicing his fighting skills and attacking bands of vermin that he came across.
One band of vermin he tracked lead him to Redwall Abbey where he aided the Abbey dwellers residing there in driving the band off. He was accepted into the Abbey for his services.
There he discovered peace and hung up his sword for a while to learn the ways of the abbey but he knows that he will not be able to give up fighting forever. His time will come again.
