Redscar

Redscar is a tabby tom.

Code of the Clans

 * Redscar is an ancient medicine cat of ShadowClan.


 * Redscar is first seen when he is giving herbs to Brightwhisker, who is to be the new ShadowClan leader after the death of Snowstar. He does not let her go to Highstones, or appoint a deputy, because she is sick and he believes she needs rest. When he wakes up the next morning, he finds that Brightwhisker had died in her sleep. Redscar is devastated with himself that he didn't realize it was greencough. He is even more despairing when two warriors, Mossfire and Jumpfoot, fight each other to the death because they both want to claim leadership.


 * Later, Snowstar, ShadowClan's former leader, comes to Redscar in a dream, telling him to appoint a new leader. He is about to protest, but then chooses Flowerstem to be leader, because all she wanted to do was care for the Clan, even when her sister died, and she was very strong-willed. To back up his decision, he sneaks a snowdrop stalk into the camp, to make it look as if StarClan had sent a sign for Flowerstem to become leader. He thanks Snowstar under his breath as ShadowClan rejoices and Flowerstem accepts her new duty.
