Tornear

Tornear is a wiry gray tabby tom with a torn right ear and blue eyes.
Tornear was a WindClan elder who served as a warrior under Tallstar's and Onestar's leaderships in the forest and the lake territories. He was born to Shrewclaw and Ryestalk along with his brother, Mudkit. However, their father was killed in a ShadowClan raid on WindClan before their birth. He became an apprentice as Tornpaw, and after becoming a warrior, Tornear mentored Runningbrook and Tawnyfur. He gained respect for ThunderClan when Fireheart and Graystripe rescued WindClan from exile, but his stance on them hardened over time. Upon reaching the lake, he mentored Owlwhisker and WindClan's future leader, Harestar. Tornear retired to the elders' den and joined StarClan after being slain in the battle against the Dark Forest.

He accuses them of trying to invade their territory when Leafpool tries to ask Onestar if anything has happened between him and RiverClan. And while Leafpool talks with WindClan, he mocks her, saying that she sounded like a blackbird singing the same song over and over again.
:He is ready to fight ThunderClan once more, thinking that they had stolen WindClan kits. He is shocked when Onestar apologizes for falsely accusing them when a couple of apprentices bring the kits to the border. He snorts but doesn't say anything, picking up Thistlekit and heading back to camp.

That night, Mudclaw and Tornear overhear Mistyfoot snarl at Hawkfrost because of his attempt to convince Leopardstar to change her mind about the new camp location.

Tornear insists that Onewhisker would not lie about any of it, but Mudclaw remains furiously silent.

After that, he attempts to discuss the plentiful prey they experienced during leaf-bare, but Mudclaw is still fixated on Tallstar's decision to replace him as deputy. Tornear believes they should listen to Tallstar's last request, but Nightcloud and Webfoot disagree with that Onewhisker is their true leader. Later, Mudclaw and Barkface encounter Tornear arguing with Onewhisker in camp. The gray tabby warrior tells him that he caught Thornclaw and Leafpaw hunting in the forest on WindClan's land when the border between their territories was decided to be the stream instead. 
:After a meeting with Hawkfrost that convinced Mudclaw that Firestar was planning on taking over WindClan with Onewhisker's help, Mudclaw questions Onewhisker's ability as a leader with Tornear, Crowfeather, Webfoot, and Nightcloud. Tornear warns his littermate to be careful of splitting the Clan apart. When Onewhisker breaks up Mudclaw's training session, Tornear agrees with Mudclaw as to why he is worried about Onewhisker as WindClan's leader. While sharing prey with Tornear, Mudclaw notices a fox about to kill Onewhisker but hesitates. Tornear notices the fox and calls a warning, and the Clan chases it off. Tornear confronts his brother for letting his jealously cloud his loyalty to WindClan, and splits ties with his plans. Mudclaw, Hawkfrost, and their supporters attack WindClan to kill Onewhisker and Ashfoot, and Mudclaw fights against Tornear. Eventually, Mudclaw is killed by a fallen tree.
