   Several characters were named after Biblical figures: Matthias: named after the man who replaced Judas Iscariot. Methuselah: named after a figure in the Book of Genesis referred to as the oldest man who ever lived. Asmodeus: named after the demon of wrath Asmodai. Though not Biblical, Cluny's name was derived from a monastery in France and was chosen by Brian Jacques because it rhymes with "loony" (referring to the character's eventual descent into madness).

This series expanded her role to flesh out the character further.

    Martin's sword in this series looked significantly different compared with its version in Redwall and Mattimeo. The book series recounts that when Martin arrived in Mossflower Woods his sword was shattered, leaving only the hilt. Eventually a new blade forged from meteoric iron was fitted to the old hilt, creating the sword used in Redwall and Mattimeo.
