Cinderfur

Cinderfur is a thin gray tom.

Into the Wild

 * Cinderfur is one of the several ShadowClan elders who are outcasted during Brokenstar's leadership.


 * He is recruited by Yellowfang to help rescue a ThunderClan queen's four kits who were kidnapped by Clawface. He, along with the other shunned elders, help ThunderClan chase Brokenstar out and rescue the stolen kits.

Fire and Ice

 * Cinderfur is revealed to be the cat chosen to become ShadowClan's deputy when Nightpelt becomes Clan leader. This is noted to be unusual, since deputies were usually chosen from strong senior warriors and not elders.

Forest of Secrets

 * When ThunderClan is forced to travel through ShadowClan's territory to attend a Gathering because of a flooded stream in their territory, Cinderfur accuses them of spying. Tigerclaw, the ThunderClan deputy, asks how they could spy when they were so far away from ShadowClan's camp. Cinderfur bares his teeth, and says Nightstar to say the word and they'd attack.

Rising Storm

 * ShadowClan is stricken with a horrible illness brought into their camp with some rats caught in the Carrionplace. Cinderfur is one of the first cats to catch the sickness.


 * Whitethroat and Littlecloud tell Fireheart and Sandstorm they feared Nightstar would die from the sickness when there was no cat to take his place as leader. Fireheart prompts them about Cinderfur, but they ignore him. It's assumed by Fireheart that either Cinderfur was too old to become Clan leader, or he had already died.


 * At a Gathering, Whitestorm asks if Cinderfur was going to represent ShadowClan after Nightstar is revealed to be dead, but Runningnose tells them he had been one of the first to die.

A Dangerous Path

 * Tigerstar, ShadowClan's new leader, officially reveals what Runningnose had confirmed before; Cinderfur had been one of the first cats to die, and Nightstar had been too weak with sickness to appoint a cat in his place before he died himself.
