Durry Quill was the hedgehog nephew of Gabriel Quill and the descendant of Brownspike O'Quill. He was good friends with Dandin, Mariel Gullwhacker, Rufe Brush, and Saxtus of Redwall Abbey. Durry joined with Dandin, Mariel, and Tarquin Longleap Woodsorrel in the journey to Terramort Isle. Along the way, he was captured by Captain Catseyes of the Seatalon, but was later rescued by Joseph the Bellmaker and the Trag. Durry also claimed one of Gabool's ships, the Waveblade, and renamed it Gabriel after his uncle. The ship was taken apart later to bridge a ford.
