Nathaniel James Danisham

Nathaniel James Danisham was born in the port town of Port Kendall. His mother, Anitra Seawake, and father, Andrew Danisham, were not married when he was born. Anitra left her son with his father only days after his birth. Nathaniel was raised by his drunkard father and his crew. Growing up he had only one real friend named Jeremy. Not much is known about his childhood except that he was almost killed by his father after Andrew pushed his only son overboard when he could barely swim. In his teen years Nathaniel did a lot of things that he'd regret in later years such as smoking, drinking, and flirting with many females. When he was twenty four seasons old he met an otter long patrol officer named Clarice at a small tavern on the outskirts of Mossflower. At the tavern both he and Clarice got drunk and then later they slept together. After they were together, Clarice's comrade Scarum forced him to leave her. Nathaniel tried to fight but the hare cut him down. He received a large wound to his chest.

Six seasons passed and not much is known about what Nathaniel did during that time. After he was fully healed he went to Salamandastron to look for Clarice. He found her, but she wasn't very happy. He found out that she had gotten pregnant and had given birth to his daughter, Rose. Both of them went to Redwall to get their daughter, but not without a bit of trouble first. Clarice's insane stepfather attempted to kill Nathaniel and almost succeeded. However, Nathaniel killed him in self defense. He later married Clarice and they had two more children, males named Adrian and Coty.

In his second story debut Nathaniel is grief stricken when 16 year old Rose falls off the ship during a storm. He goes to his place of birth which happens to be the closest port to look for her. He finds her at a noble party that happens to be hosted by his mother, Anitra. Anitra refuses to claim him as her son which causes quite a commotion. He finds that he has a half sister named Layla and that as a Danisham he is too a noble in the otter community. Nathaniel leaves port Kendall after Rose is married and comes back four seasons later to find that he is a grandfather. His grandson's name is Taran.

Nathaniel is a tall handsome sea otter with a scar over is left eye. He wears a white shirt, red sash, black pantaloons, and a black trihorn hat.
