Fire and Ice
In Fire and Ice, Deadfoot is introduced as the deputy of WindClan. He is first seen in the prologue and although his name is not mentioned, he is the one that finds the tunnel WindClan chooses to hide in. When Fireheart and Graystripe first find WindClan and try to convince the leader Tallstar to return, Deadfoot shows apprehension. After his doubts are quelled, he proves to be a loyal and valuble cat while bringing his Clan home. Once in WindClan territory, he offers to escort Fireheart and Graystripe back to ThunderClan territory. They end up crossing RiverClan territory as a shortcut, but RiverClan attacks, and Deadfoot tries to help Graystripe, but his path was blocked, and Graystripe could not saveWhiteclaw from falling to his death. Deadfoot is a formidible fighter in the resulting battle. In Secrets of the Clans, it says that he was the first cat to retreat when ShadowClan drove them out.

Rising Storm
In Rising Storm, Deadfoot was in the patrol that intercepted Fireheart and Sandstorm as they were bringing back Cloudpaw. Deadfoot battled Fireheart, deputy to deputy, but Fireheart managed to drive him off. Deadfoot reported back to Tallstar.

The Darkest Hour
In The Darkest Hour, Deadfoot is badly injured in the battle of LionClan and BloodClan.

Midnight
In Midnight, it is shown that Deadfoot has joined StarClan. He is the cat that chooses the representative for WindClan, and chooses Crowpaw (the other members of StarClan object to this because he is only an apprentice) to go to sun-drown place as WindClan's representative.
