Hawkheart

Hawkheart is a mottled, dark brown tom with yellow eyes.

Crookedstar's Promise

 * Hawkheart is only mentioned once during a Gathering when Bluepaw tells Crookedpaw that the medicine cat had killed her mother, Moonflower, in a battle.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Hawkheart is first seen as the medicine cat of WindClan. It is revealed by Swiftbreeze, a warrior of ThunderClan, that he was the fiercest WindClan warrior, until StarClan called him to become a medicine cat.


 * When Bluepaw helps drag the wounded Leopardpaw away from the battle between ThunderClan and WindClan, Hawkheart sees her and gasps, "ThunderClan has brought kits!". After Bluepaw tells the medicine cat that she isn't a kit, he begins stalking threateningly towards her, taunting, ready to fight, figuring that Bluepaw will not know any fighting moves. Heatherstar, WindClan's leader, stops him, telling him he needs to help the injured cats. Just then, the ThunderClan cats break into the medicine den to destroy his herbs. Hawkheart is forced to leave, and Bluepaw escapes, unharmed. Bluepaw is unsure that he is a medicine cat and Swiftbreeze explains his past as one of the more dangerous warriors who was called to be a medicine cat by StarClan.


 * Later, Hawkheart is seen attacking Bluepaw's mother, Moonflower, as she appears from his den. He wounds her, and flings her across the blood slicked clearing. In the end, he kills her. When Bluepaw says that Moonflower should not have died, Hawkheart claims the apprentice's mother destroyed the medicine supplies and that was reason enough to kill her. When Bluepaw says that StarClan gave Goosefeather, the ThunderClan medicine cat, a sign that they had to attack, Hawkheart snorts and says, "You would risk so much on the word of Goosefeather?"


 * At a Gathering a few moons later, he taunts Bluepaw, calling her a kit-warrior. Sunfall, the ThunderClan deputy, then tells Bluepaw that StarClan will be the one to judge him for his actions.


 * During a later Gathering, when Crookedpaw, an apprentice of RiverClan, asks why Bluepaw says Hawkheart's name hatefully, she tells him that Hawkheart killed her mother. He is not seen in Into the Wild, so it is assumed that he died somehow.

Trivia

 * Before Bluestar's Prophecy was released, Erin Hunter revealed that they were going to write about an evil medicine cat; Hawkheart was possibly the cat they were referring to.
 * Hawkheart was mistakenly described as a gray flecked tom.
 * Though unconfirmed, he most likely resides in the Place of No Stars.
