Personality: Hardhack is the kind that needs someone to follow. He's at his best when he's taking orders. It wasn't until Woundwart that he found someone to follow that he actually agreed with when it came to practices. While he's nowhere near the liar that Vervain is, he still knows how to bend the truth quite a bit whether it be to get him out of trouble, or for the good of others. 

Despite his cleverness, Hardhack  favors brawn over brains. While he doesn't have the courage to fight elil, he could very well kill one if he tried. He was the only owsla member Hickory really trusted to keep Redstone safe, and with good reason.

History:

Hardhack was born a hlessil. His mother and father were wandering rabbits. He was the only one to survive in his litter. His father taught him everything he needed to know. As he grew older he was able to look after himself very nicely, however though, his parents were killed by a badger around this time as well. The buck immediatly ran off, scrambling to find shelter. He eventually found The Warren of the Shining Wire, and they took him in. 

He didn't like Cowslip very much, but remained loyal to him until he got the chance to live somewhere else, which he did. Hickory and Marigold led a band of rabbits out of the warren with Watership Down's help, and he was one of the rabbits to come. He already knew quite a bit about living out in the wild, so he was no trouble when it came to that.

Around the time Redstone was down on their luck, two saviors arrived, Wheatstalk and Chaff. Hardhack developed an enormous respect for the two, and wished to follow them in their endeavors. While he had nothing against Hickory or Marigold, he thought Wheatstalk was a better leader. Eventually, Wheatstalk revealed himself as General Woundwart and his faithful follower revealed himself as Vervain. They left Redstone to perish, but Hardhack still wished to follow him anyway. He fleed the crumbling Redstone and set out to find Woundwart. 

He eventually was captured by Darkhaven patrol, and won in the battle pit. Woundwart was, surprisngly, impressed that he travelled all that way to join up with him again. When the Darkhaven warriors attacked Watership Down, and the Black Rabbit was summoned, he ran off with Vervain. Eventually, they were seperated.
