Brokenstar is a matted, dark brown tabby tom with a broad, flat face, a bent tail, and orange eyes. Brokenstar was a ShadowClan leader in the forest territories and a member of the Dark Forest. He was born as Brokenkit to Yellowfang and Raggedpelt alongside his sisters, Hopekit and Wishkit, though only he survived. He was surrendered by his mother and given to Lizardstripe, who neglected him, and gained foster siblings in Tanglekit, Runningkit, and Deerkit, who often teased him. He was apprenticed as Brokenpaw to Nightpelt; however, he saw his mentor as weak and often disobeyed him, seeking training from Raggedpelt. After becoming a warrior early, Brokentail mentored Stumpytail and became deputy once Cloudpelt and Foxheart died. Brokentail then murdered Raggedstar, ripping away all nine lives, lying that WindClan killed him, and became leader as Brokenstar. He trained kits too early, mentoring Mosspaw and Volewhisper, though the former died due to his ruthless training sessions. He exiled Yellowfang after killing Marigoldkit and Mintkit, pinning the blame on the medicine cat, and he drove out WindClan from their territory. However, with the help of the exiled elders, ThunderClan, and Yellowfang, Brokenstar was driven out from his Clan, along with many of his followers, becoming rogues. He attacked ThunderClan, but was blinded by Yellowfang and taken prisoner, being demoted to an elder and changing his name back to Brokentail. After being fed deathberries, he descended to the Dark Forest, where he trained living warriors to aid their schemes. During the Great Battle, Brokenstar killed Ferncloud, and thereafter, he was killed by Yellowfang for a second time, fading away forever.
