Hawkbristle

Appearance
Hawkbristle is a large brown-and-white tabby tom with black stripes and ears, and vivid blue eyes. His fur is long and thick, yet soft to the touch. He is large and muscular with sharp claws.

Personality
Hawkbristle is an extremely loyal cat, although his loyalties tend to lay with cats, not Clans. Despite this, he is more willing to challenge authority, and question decisions, speaking up when he believes something is unjust or goes against his morals.

Hawkbristle detests selfishness, and much prefers to put himself in harms way over others, making him much more willing to fight than make peace.

Pre-Death
In life, Hawkbristle was a deputy of ShadowClan, training his second apprentice, Ryepaw. He considered most of ShadowClan his friends and family, and protected them with his life. His willingness to call into question decisions and ability in battle made him a strong contender for the next leader.

Towards the end of his life, his ambition was growing. Upon hearing from a warrior that a fox had been spotted in the territory, he quickly organized a patrol, intending on chasing the fox out of the Clan. As a result of his quick and plan-less action, the fox ultimately ended his life, the last thing he had seen being his horrified apprentice.

Season One
Upon arriving in StarClan, he immediately noticed the high tensions, namely between Ravenwillow and Cinderfur. He quickly befriended Sagemist, who he quickly began developing feelings for. Together, the two furthered much of the tensions in StarClan, calling into question nearly all of Windecho's rules, decisions, and general behavior. After hearing of Ravenwillow's dream, he trusted Sagemist's judgement, choosing to tread carefully around her.

Eventually, he and Sagemist broke Windecho's rule of never entering the Dark Forest, believing that, if it was disallowed, the leader was hiding something. This resulted in the two stumbling across one of Ravenwillow's many meetings with Shadepool, confirming their suspicions. Following the death of Latte and Ravenwillow's attempts to feign innocence, the two publicly confronted her, trying to force a confession from her.

The two chose to hunt down Ravenwillow, believing she had run into the Dark Forest. Slatesong and Shadepool confronted the two, viciously attacking Sagemist. Hawkbristle had been offered a choice in that moment: Betray StarClan, or watch Sagemist die. Hawkbristle chose to betray StarClan, and is now a known ally of the Dark Forest.
