Cinderfur/Main article

Cinderfur is a thin gray tom.

He is born to Rowanberry and Clawface as Cinderkit, along with his brother, Stumpykit. He later becomes an apprentice named Cinderpaw, with his uncle Nutwhisker as his mentor. He soon completes his training, and becomes Cinderfur. He sides against Yellowfang and going so far as to say that she had been acting like the entire Clan was a nuisance, though later sides against Brokenstar and his tyrannical rule. When Brokenstar and his followers are forced out of ShadowClan, Cinderfur's uncle, Nightstar, becomes leader, and he chooses Cinderfur as his deputy. Cinderfur also becomes mates with Ashheart, and sires Turtlekit, Quietkit and Rubblekit with her.

Cinderfur serves as deputy for some moons, but when an infected rat is brought back from Carrionplace, Cinderfur is among the first cats to fall ill, and despite Runningnose's best attempts to cure him, Cinderfur succumbs to the sickness, and Nightstar, who is deathly ill as well, does not have the strength to chose his successor, leaving ShadowClan without a deputy, and soon, without a leader.
