Redlance is the sweet-natured plantshaper of the Wolfriders. He received his name by saving Bearclaw from a marauding long-tooth. Indeed, it is critical to him that he use his talents to protect the tribe. When cornered, Redlance can certainly hold his own in a fight. But Redlance is too much of a pacifist and nurturer at heart to do willful harm, and this gentleness makes him a natural for caring for the cubs of the tribe. Redlance is a master of the soft counsel, gently prodding the likes of Woodlock and Ember in the right direction.
Redlance and Nightfall have been lifemates for many years, though they are not genetically Recognized. However, because of their deep love for each other, they voluntarily exchanged soul names. In this relationship, as in the Wolfrider tribe, Nightfall is "the sword, the spear, the arrow" and Redlance "the flower, the tree, the vine." Later, with the help of Leetah and the Palace's magic, they "forced" Recognition and gave birth to a daughter, Tyleet. At the end of the quest to recover the Palace shards, Redlance returned with the rest of the older members of the tribe to help reestablish the Father Tree Holt.
