Biography[]
Raising Kenzie[]
"Dream of better things than making beasts bleed for our own survival."— Ailfrid to Kenzie
Ailfrid's son, Kenzie knew from an early age that he wanted to join the ranks of the Mouse Guard. Ailfrid supported Kenzie's choice, but wanted Kenzie to be a better Guardmouse than one who killed for mouse-kind's survival. To persuade his son, he told him the Tale of the Wise Weaver, a story about a common Weaver Mouse who defeated the predators threatening his village using his intelligence.
Kenzie took this message to heart, and when he joined the Guard, he focused on improving his intellect rather than his fighting.
