Gatorfang

=== Description ===
Gatorfang is a very large smokey dark grey tomcat covered in scars with dark green eyes.
Gatorfang is the current deputy of Mireclan. Previously, Heronstar had named Nettlestream, Gatorfang's sister, as her deputy. However, following her tragic death she replaced her with Gatorfang, who had shown incredible combat prowess and determination. Gatorfang is quiet, subdued, and bloodthirsty. He is a risk-taker and can be impulsive, and frequently forgoes diplomacy in favour of a violent solution. He is gruff and blunt, except with Nightcaller, who he cares for. He looks up to Heronstar, and pushes her into more dangerous situations to force her to demonstrate her -- and by extension, Mireclan's -- power. 
=== History ===
Previously known as Duskface, he was never quite sociable and chatty, but his sister's death certainly changed him. Duskface and Nettlestream were as close as littermates typically were, and he was familiar with Heronstar from her continued fluctuating romance with Nettlestream. However, he envied her position as deputy, and if he was to reach the level of power he dreamed of, she needed to go.
He lured his sister to the swamps edge under the pretence of hunting, before attacking her. Nettlestream fought valiantly, and almost defeated him, but it was her hesitation at his feigned death that lead to her finally being murdered at Duskface's claws. She had not gone down without a fight, and Duskface was left badly injured by the ordeal. He lied about an alligator attack, and the miracle of surviving an attack from such a beast lead to him being celebrated, his name changed to Gatorfang to honour his strength. Heronstar, wracked with grief at Nettlestream's death, did not take much gentle pressure before electing Gatorfang deputy.
Gatorfang lives in guilt for what he has done, and opted to lean into his new life as a blood-thirsty killer to alleviate some of his guilts and self-loathing. Upon the arrival of Nightcaller, they become fast friends. They are kind to each other, Nightcaller doesn't know his bloodied history, and with hymn Gatorfang believes he can simply be Duskface again. 
When Gatorfang is not at somebodies throat or whispering promises of violence into Heronstar's ear, he can be found with Nightcaller, playing pretend at being a cat he no longer is, and has not been for a long time.
