History

In The New Prophecy arc

Dawn

"That badger-pawed Twoleg shoved me against something sharp."

―Coal after a Twoleg hurt him ^{Dawn (book), page 67}

Coal is one of the rogues that is captured by Twolegs during the destruction of the forest. They put him in a cage beside a kittypet named Cody, and Cody tries to befriend him. Coal ignores all the cats and shows indifference towards the conversations going on beside him.

Later on, a Twoleg opens up his cage to give him food. However, when it reaches inside, Coal hisses and scratches its paw. The Twoleg angrily shoves him back into the cage, unintentionally making Coal hit something sharp and making him bleed. Leafpaw asks a WindClan warrior, Gorsetail, to give her some cobwebs. Another rogue under Coal's cage calls out that there is blood dripping down onto his cage floor. Coal begins to panic because he is losing so much blood, and Leafpaw calls out to him to press the cobwebs on harder. Finally, the bleeding stops.

With the help of a ThunderClan patrol, Coal and the rest of the trapped cats escape.
