This mysterious creature is far, far older than any cat can imagine. He has grown bald and sightless and twisted from countless seasons living in the tunnels, away from sunlight to warm his pelt, watching over the lake where countless generations of cats once lived. A strange stick with clawmarks scratched across it seems connected to this tom, and to the ancient cats he once guided. What part does this strange, ancient creature have to play in the lives of the living Clans? Will his guidance lead them to salvation – or bring them to the edge of their doom?
