**Avaros,** an ex-enforcer for the Claws of Purity and ex-Fallenclan warrior, is a experienced tom cat known for his murderous methods and sadistic tendencies. He is usually mislabeled as a Psychopath when in truth he is disturbed and mentally compromised by the works of Nightfern and Savior.

When he was young, Stormkit suffered mental and physical abuse through the paws of his mother Nightfern and another queen Primrosesong. During his torment, he was comforted by the mild mannered Jaykit. The two remained friends well into warriorhood.

When he became an apprentice, his mentor Jaggedfang trained him rigorously and roughly, leaving no room in Stormpaw's heart for emotion or love.

However, Jaggedfang soon discovered the signs of abuse, and showed a different side of himself. He confronted Nightfern, but due to Stormpaw's pleas, they didn't accuse her publicly. However, Jaggedfang and Stormpaw grew closer and closer.

When he became a warrior, Stormfront stood up to his mother, refusing to be a punching bag anymore. Nightfern's rage grew, and she formed a plan to get back at her son, a product of a union she was forced into. Stormfront's father, Buzzardwing was a well known warrior in Fallenclan trusted by Echostar herself. With Echostar on her last life, and her deputy an easily pushed cat, Nightfern began discussing her plan with her friends.

Upon Echostar's death, and Ashstar's promotion, a pregnant Nightfern, Primrosesong and her friends came forth accusing Stormfront's father of abuse. Buzzardwing fought the accusations, but was exiled by Ashstar due to the sheer amount of accusers.

Enraged, but defeated, Stormfront didn't fight against his mother anymore. He became sullen, closed off, and obedient, fulfilling his mother's every wish, all while listening to the clan gossip and insult his father.

One day, Stormfront left the clan for the day to go fishing by the riverside. Wildbrook (one of Nightfern's best friends) took the time to deviate from her hunting patrol and belittle Stormfront. Wildbrook continued to threaten and insult Stormfront, who's anger grew. The straw finally snapped when Wildbrook insulted his father. Enraged, Stormfront struck Wildbrook, sparking a massive brawl between the two. At the end of the fight, Stormfront killed Wildbrook by slamming her head into a nearby rock, over and over.

Rather then hide the murder, Stormfront embraced it, telling the clan that Wildbrook attacked her, and that he had no choice. Despite the attempts his mother's entourage, Stormfront managed to beat suspicion, and the truth won out for that day. He was allowed to remain in camp, yet many still treated him like an outsider.

When Nightfern gave birth to Foxkit, she announced her union with Primrosesong, Stormfront's frustration and rage grew, knowing that Foxkit would grow in the same environment he did, if not worse now that Buzzardwing was gone. Dedicated to his brother's safety, Stormfront decided that he had to remove his mother's influence in Fallenclan. And the only way to do that, was to kill them. All of her acolytes.

One by one, Nightfern's friends fell, while the clan was unaware of the connection of these murders. Nightfern realized what was happening quickly, that her power was slipping away, her grip on Fallenclan being pried out of her paws by some rogue. Meanwhile, Jaggedfang recognized the pattern of these killings.

The night finally came when Nightfern was destined to die. Stormfront pleaded to the stars, speaking to his father and asking for forgiveness for what he was about to do. As he went home, Jaggedfang confronted him, knowing it was his old apprentice killing these cats. Jaggedfang attempted to appeal to Stormfront's kindness, claiming they could still continue on. That they could tell Ashstar about his mother's plots and conspiracies. However, Stormfront was convinced that his way was the only way that made sense, and begged Jaggedfang to stand aside.

Jaggedfang would not.

The two clashed as a storm raged above them. Stormfront was easily overpowered by Jaggedfang, but Stormfront's desperation to succeed and dedication to his brother proved encouraging. He begged his mentor to let him go or he would kill him, and Jaggedfang remained adamant that he would stand trial of not put her mother on trial.

With no other choice, Stormfront killed his mentor. As Jaggedfang died, Stormfront wept for his mentor, as he was the closest thing he had left of a father.

With little time left and the clan waking up due to the storm, Stormfront went into the nursery and poisoned Primrosesong, as Nightfern watched her mate die in front of her. Refusing to see her own wickedness, Nightfern cried and mused what she had done to deserve this, unaware that these were the consequences of her own actions. She died not giving Stormfront the satisfaction of fear, only selfish confusion.

Now with nothing left, Stormfront snatched his brother away, leaving Fallenclan for good. With nowhere to go, the two brothers travelled to an encampment in a nearby gorge, where a settlement of cats were living, lead by a narcissistic cat who claimed to talk to the stars.

The Claws of Purity.

Disillusioned with clan life but recognizing that Foxkit needed a home, Stormfront agreed to join them. In his time, Savior managed to get under his skin and manipulate his anger and rage.

As Foxkit grew up with other kits, Stormfront was being subtly groomed by Savior, to the point where he'd become some other cat entirely. Naming himself after a star, Stormfront became Avaros. A vicious and coldblooded executioner, whom Savior sent to deal with cats he claimed deserved death (namely members of the LGTBQ community).

Stormfront had shifted from a sympathetic abuse victim, to the abuser, taking his revenge on cats who had nothing to do with it. But Savior's grooming came with several drawbacks. Avaros was volatile, and had the confidence to stand against power unlike his younger days. This made it quite difficult for Savior to control him. During this time, Foxkit had grown to Foxpaw (his name remained faithful to clan life; the one thing Avaros took with him) and began realizing the violence of his brother.

Moons later, Avaros came into contact with a Fallenclan patrol.
