Col. Briarrose

A minor supporting figure, the commander of the Imperial and Royal Army's Household Cavalry, who makes occasional appearances in "The Winterbough Saga." He is a champagne-furred skunk with an eyepatch and a habit (real or affected) of not being able to pronounce the letter "r." However, he is no fop or courtier, but a much-decorated fur who has seen long battle service, and it is clear from his encounters with Westersloe Winterbough V that he has a very sharp mind beneath his bluff and hearty facade.
