## Comic Involvement

Batwing is first seen during a gathering sitting under the Great Oak, where he loudly complains about WindClan being late once they arrive.
A week after Birchstar is exposed as a murderer and exiled, Batwing corners Burrstar in his den and kills him, earning a small scar above his lip during the scuffle. He quickly calls a clan meeting, announcing that Birchstar had killed their leader. His scar is noticed by Silverpaw, and he goes on to blame WindClan for taking so long in discovering Birchstar's crimes, declaring that their incompetence had gotten not only their cats killed, but now ThunderClan's leader as well, and swears to avenge Burrstar and his legacy. He declares Silverpaw - now Silvertail - his new deputy, telling her that he knew about her relationship with Sparklepaw, and hopes that they can both work together against Birchstar. He dismisses the clan by swearing destruction upon WindClan.
Batstar is next seen during a gathering about seven moons later, angrily watching Redstripe talking to Silvertail. When Goldenstar sits on the same branch as him, he rudely comments about her being late. He attempts to open the gathering with news from ThunderClan, but is quickly interrupted by Goldenstar, who discloses the recent deaths and attacks that WindClan has suffered because of Birchstar, getting Batstar's attention. She also tries to adress the death of Crowflight during kitting and the arrival of Cloverpaw, but Batstar soon interrupts her, insisting that she should talk more about Birchstar's attack rather then brushing it off. He comments on this being the fourth attack Birchstar had launched on the clan, Goldenstar tries to correct him that there have been three attacks, but he interrupts her once again, insulting WindClan and trying to tell everyone about Burrstar's death by Birchstar, though he in interrupted by Salmonstar, who informs him that his shouting had provocked StarClan to cover the moon with clouds. Batstar angrily accepts this, telling the other leaders to not come crying to him once WindClan's incompetence started affecting their clans, ending the gathering.
Once ThunderClan arrives at camp, Batstar angrily calls a clan meeting, commenting on WindClan's outrageous behaviour during the gathering, and that WindClan did not care about any other clan, especially ThunderClan, as, according to him, WindClan knows they're inferior, weak, selfish and worthless, and decide to make it everyone else's problem. He reminds them of the deaths Birchstar has caused, and once again emphasizes that she killed Burrstar, outraged that WindClan hasn't done anything about her. He then announces that, in order to teach WindClan a lesson, they will attack their camp at sunhigh.
The following day ThunderClan is preparing to attack WindClan, and Silvertail notices Batstar going into his den, deciding to follow him for a talk. He happily greets her once she walks in, excited about the upcoming attack. Silvertail voices a very different opinion however, stating that WindClan did not deserve this, and asking Batstar to call off the attack. Batstar's cheerful attitude quickly turns serious, telling her that she has no say in what they deserve or not, as she knows nothing of what they've done. Their conversation quickly escalated into an argument, where Silvertail reveals her suspicions about the scar on his lip, that makes her believe he killed Burrstar. He tells her that her judgement is blinded by Sparklepaw, confronting her about talking to Redstripe the previous night. Silvertail calls him out for making her deputy while she was a grieving apprentice, questioning if he believed she would never stand up for herself and stating that she would not let him launch the attack, teling him to get over himself. Her words lead him to scratch her cheek. He stops, stunned, and Batstar revokes her deputy position, stating he gave it to her as he believed she'd use it to avenge her little girlfriend. He confines her to stay in camp and takes the attack patrol out immediately. Not expecting Silvertail to quickly follow them.
As ThunderClan waits in the bushes of WindClan's camp, Silvertail bursts into camp, announcing that an attack is about to be launched. Batstar, furious, leaps out of hishiding spot and pins her down, screaming at her for revealing their plean. Poppyclaw then bursts from the bushes and tackles Batstar, defending Silvertail. Batstar kills Poppyclaw in self-defense and commands ThunderClan to attack. Batstar watches the chaos around him with glee, grinning at the deaths surrounding him. He suddendly comes face-to-face with Goldenstar, attacking her on sight for her disperespect during at the gathering, he tears her right ear before chasing her down and biting her hard on the back of the neck. Thorntail throws Batstar off and takes one of his lives by cracking his skull on a rock before the deputy is attacked by Icyclaw. After Batstar recovers from losing a life, he notices Blackrain and Mistfur walking into the medicine den. He follows them and corners them as Mistfur passes out from a wound on her stomach, Blackrain stands against him, but he reveals himself to be their long-lost brother.

According to Batstar, they are the kits of Fogdew and Mousenose, from ThunderClan and WindClan respectively. Fogdew loved Mousenose dearly, but she used him, cheating on him with Ashleaf. Once their kits were born, she took them to the border with Ashleaf and informed him that she no longer wanted to be with him, taunting Fogdew with the family he would now never have. Enraged, he attacked the both of them, managing to bring Beetlekit to ThunderClan, but not his sisters. Fogdew raised Beetlekit - now Batkit - in ThunderClan, telling him how Mousenose and Ashleaf took his sisters away. Soon a battle was started over Batpaw, and Mousenose and Ashleaf tried to invite him to WindClan, but Batpaw allerted his father of them, who fought and killed both before dying from injuries caused by Mousenose, caused by a WindClan cat.

Blackrain questions what he wants, and he informs her that all he wants in to rescue them from their horrible clan, for them to come live in ThunderClan where they belong. Blackrain denies it, refusing to abandon her friends and family, and Batstar reveals he knows that her family isn't WindClan, he knows about her relationship with the RiverClan deputy Troutleap. Batstar gives her achoice, she and Mistfur could join ThunderClan, or he would expose her forbidden relationship to Salmonstar. Surprisingly, Blackrain still denies it, telling him that he's a monster and that he needs to leave their camp immediately. Batstar looks at her coldly, and leaves while swearing to let Troutleap know that this was her fault. Batstar commands ThunderClan to retreat, making sure to pass by Silvertail on his way out, informing her that she was exiled and that he would kill her the moment she stepped in ThunderClan.

## Killed Victims

* Burrstar
* Poppyclaw

## Personality

Batstar is loud, theatrical, impusive and aggressive. He generally resorts to being passive-aggressive, but will quickly resort to verbal and physical aggression in order to shut down other cats. He enjoys being in control of everything and becomes defensive the moment his authority is questioned. Batstar has a deep hatred for WindClan, and he is not quiet about it, he puts his own clan and personal interests above everyone and everything, and rarely ever backs down from an argument or fight.
## Relationships

Fogdew: Batstar adores Fogdew and takes everything his father says to heart. His father died when he was still and apprentice, but it was long enought for Batkit to begin replicating everything his father taught him.

Burrstar: Burrstar was Batstar's mentor and it was him who found Burrstar's body. He was totally, honestly, truthfully shaken by his mentor's death, and doesn't understand how a monster like Birchstar could have been capable of doing something like that. Burrstar's death was truly a tragic day for him.

Silvertail: He never really seemed to care about Silvertail for the most part, and it seems like the only reason he even made her deputy was because he knew that she wasn't old enought or even in the right headspace to argue against his leadership decisions. He absolutely despised her from the moment she began to stand up for WindClan.

Goldenstar: He hates Goldenstar and sees her as the manifestation of what WindClan truly is - pathetic, weak, and cowardice. He has no respect for her and gives her slightly passive-aggressive remarks every chance he gets. He became infuriated that she cut him off during a gathering, and for him it was the last push he needed to declare war on the clan.

Mousenose: He despises Mousenose, to him she's the most evil cat he's known of and she is the biggest reason that he hates all of WindClan. Fogdew told him everything he currently knows about her, and he's not going to doubt any of it any time soon
