"It's too late! You clearly think I'm a waste of space. Why else would you have thrown me out of the forest? And now that I'm beginning to prove myself, you need Gray Wing to tell you what I've done. Will I ever be good enough?" |
— Jagged Peak confronting Clear Sky in Thunder Rising, pages 161-162 |
Jagged Peak is a small,[10] lithe,[11] thick-furred[12] gray tabby tom with blue eyes,[2] and a twisted, limp hind leg.[13]
Jagged Peak was the son of Quiet Rain in the Ancient Tribe. After his sister Fluttering Bird’s death, Jagged Peak followed the group following the sun trail, and later chose to live with his older brother, Clear Sky, in the forest. However, his brother exiled him after Jagged Peak broke his leg. Jagged Peak initially believed he was incapable of becoming a contributing member of the group until Holly taught him otherwise. Holly gave birth to his kits, Storm Pelt, Dew Nose and Eagle Feather, and the family decided to live in the pine forest with Tall Shadow and later in WindClan.

Dawn of the Clans
- "What if what? You can't protect them forever. You can't protect any cat forever, Gray Wing, no matter how hard you try to. That's a lesson I must learn, too."
- ―Jagged Peak to Gray Wing The Blazing Star
- While on a hunting patrol with his brothers, Jagged Peak breaks his leg falling from a tree and Clear Sky outcasts him from the group for failing to contribute. In Tall Shadow's group, Cloud Spots develops exercises for him, but Jagged Peak doubts his value to the group. He spends time with Turtle Tail's and Wind Runner's kits and watches over them during the Great Battle.
- Holly, a newcomer, pushes Jagged Peak to overcome his disability, and trains him for the battle against One Eye. Holly is soon expecting his kits. She falls ill to the sickness, and while searching for the blazing star, Clear Sky apologies to Jagged Peak for sending him away. Holly recovers and she gives birth to Storm Pelt, Eagle Feather, and Dew Nose. When the group decides to split up again, Jagged Peak and Holly decided to move to the pine forest where their kits will be safer from the snow.
- Quiet Rain and Sun Shadow arrive from the mountains and his mother his horrified to see Jagged Peak's lame leg and his kits' poor behavior. Holly defends her mate, and Jagged Peak and his brothers spend time with Quiet Rain before she dies. He visits Gray Wing after his kits are born, and Gray Wing reflects how grateful he is for his younger brother. After they rescue Black Ear from Slash, Jagged Peak stays by his brother's side as he dies.
