Redtail

Redtail is a small tortoiseshell tom with a distinctive ginger tail, amber eyes and feathered ears.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Redkit is first seen when Swiftbreeze gives birth to him and his littermates, Spottedkit and Willowkit. Their older siblings are Patchpelt and Leopardfoot. His mentor was Halftail, then Sparrowpelt. At the end of the book, now as Redtail, he sits with Bluestar.

Into the Wild

 * Redtail was the deputy of ThunderClan under Bluestar's leadership, and was mentoring Dustpaw. During a fight with RiverClan, apparently Redtail died at the hands of Tigerclaw, an ambitious ThunderClan warrior who hoped to become the next deputy of ThunderClan. Tigerclaw lied about Redtail's death, telling the rest of ThunderClan that the RiverClan deputy Oakheart had killed Redtail, and that he had killed Oakheart to avenge his fallen clanmate. However, Tigerclaw's apprentice Ravenpaw witnessed what actually had happened. Oakheart had been killed by an accidental rockfall while he and Redtail were fighting. Fireheart later discovered the truth in his investigations of Redtail's death, and revealed Tigerclaw's treachery to all of ThunderClan. Ravenpaw described Redtail as very brave, and Bluestar referred to him as a noble cat. Dustpaw was devastated when he heard that his mentor had died. Bluestar chose Lionheart as the next deputy of ThunderClan.

The Darkest Hour

 * Redtail granted one of Firestar's nine lives during his Leadership Ceremony - a life of justice. He also thanked Firestar for revealing the truth about his death when no one else could.

Battles of the Clans

 * In "Dustpaw Speaks: Shadows in the Forest", Dustpaw mentions that Redtail was stuck in camp with a bellyache after eating a rotten blackbird, and he was out training with Tigerclaw instead. Tigerclaw asks if Redtail ever taught Dustpaw how to catch prey in trees, while he was teaching him how to swing from branches.
