Redtail

Redtail is a small tortoiseshell tom with an unusually red tail.

Into the Wild

 * Redtail was the deputy of ThunderClan under Bluestar's leadership. On a mission against RiverClan and their deputy, Oakheart, Redtail was murdered by Tigerclaw, an ambitious ThunderClan warrior who hoped to become deputy in Redtail's place.


 * Tigerclaw lied about Redtail's death, telling the rest of ThunderClan that Oakheart had killed Redtail, and that he had killed Oakheart to avenge his fallen deputy. Oakheart had really been killed by an accidental rockfall. Fireheart later discovered the truth in his investigations of Redtail's death, and revealed Tigerclaw's treachery to ThunderClan.

The Darkest Hour

 * Redtail grants one of Firestar's nine lives during his Leadership Ceremony. The gift that accompanies that life is justice. He also thanked Firestar for revealing the truth about his death while no one else could. It is found out that Redtail is Sandstorm's father.
