the founder MARSHSTAR, THE FIRST LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "I was born in a Clan of shadows, my name was Ashbreeze. In my Clan, we fought to survive, eating rats and carrion, but we were never short on pride.
As a warrior, I dreamed of a far-off place, where the sun burned bright and snow never fell--a land where I could worship StarClan to my liking, far from the meddlesome politics of my home. My medicine cat, Nightshade, said if I traveled south, I could be free.
I left my Clan. My queen, Duskflower, and my mother, Softpelt, came with me. I had others that shared my ideals--believers in StarClan as the one and only source of wisdom--and they followed me far beyond the horizon. We journeyed for many moons. A lot of us perished of starvation or fell to predators, but those that remained found Mother Lake and the marsh.
We became MarshClan, the righteous and fair. And I became Marshstar, the first leader." Cause of Death: Old age. Died at the foot of the Great Cypress after leaving the Clan for a long walk. Legend has it that he gave his last life to the tree in order to have a piece of his soul among his Clan forever.

the vicitm EVENINGSTAR, THE SECOND LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "I was the second leader chosen by Nightshade. I do not know why she picked me. I never wanted to be leader... I never wanted to be anything but me. Nightshade would counsel me, guide me, and tell me what to say and do, how to act. I felt like a piece of moss being strung along like a kit's plaything. What am I doing? I'd ask myself. Nightshade would always have the answer.
Sometimes, you get saddled with a responsibility you weren't ready for. Sometimes, you have to make the tough decisions, and get the backlash for being the one making them. Don't be like me. Don't give up. If you give up, you let them win, and sometimes... the ones that win aren't the good guys.
There is something wrong here. I feel stuck. I keep reliving that night. Those eyes? Darkfeather... What are you doing here?
How could you do this to me?"
Cause of Death: ? ? ?

the haunted DARKSTAR, THE THIRD LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "I did what I had to do. My Clan is safe and strong. Nightshade always said I did the right thing... but... Why do I feel so hollow? As the moons pass, I feel more and more of myself fading away. I forgot who I used to be. But... that doesn't matter. Who I am now is what's most important.
MarshClan will be stronger than it ever was now that I am leader.
Maybe I am being punished now? This sickness... It's killing my Clan, it's killing me. Oh, StarClan, have mercy. I know now what I've done. Just spare my Clan, I beg of you. Take me--just let them live!
...
.......
Where am I? Why is it... so dark? Is this... ah... I see now.
I am where I belong."
Cause of Death: Illness. Fell to the plague that cursed his Clan.

the magnificent BRIGHTSTAR, THE FOURTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "My Clan was safe from the dark. For many moons, peace reigned. I thanked StarClan everyday that we survived. I made it my life's duty to protect MarshClan from darker forces, but it was hard to find those that operate in the shadows. I know I must trust my Clanmates... but I couldn't help but wonder what lingered behind their eyes.
Darkness will rise again, and swallow the Clan in Father's Fang.
The prophecy haunted me til my final days. I ruled for a long time, and we were blessed with plenty, but I never figured out what the prophecy entailed. That was my greatest failure. I knew it would be my fault if MarshClan ever fell into darkness again."
Cause of Death: Old age.

the jubilant STORMSTAR, THE FIFTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "The greatest gift from StarClan was the gift of leadership. I was blessed with anything I could possibly dream of--the best fresh-kill, the finest she-cats, the softest bedding! It was like being reborn in the heavens! I thanked Brightstar everyday for giving me a legacy of peace and love... If I didn't have her as a predecessor, my job would've been much more difficult.
My time as leader was full of celebration. It was I that composed the festivals MarshClan knows today. What better way to give thanks for our bountiful lives than to host grand holidays? In honor of StarClan and each other, we shall indulge and relish the grandeur!
It was not until the sun set on my time, that I realized I should have taken my leadership more seriously. I can only hope for my son's forgiveness; I did not prepare him for what was to come... If only I had more time. If I had sent my warriors to find the fox that lingered on our lands, maybe I would've been able to speak to him one last time. I failed him..."
Cause of Death: Fox attack.

the tortured HAZESTAR, SIXTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "I don't like to think about my time as a leader, let alone talk about it. I didn't choose to take the name, it was forced upon me. Have you ever died nine times? Each time I awoke, I felt the fabric of my mind pull a little more, rip a little deeper. It was torture. So, don't keep coming asking questions. Please...
When my father died, we only had pieces of him left to bury. It was like the music that was playing all this time screeched to a halt, and I was left to suffocate in the silence. Dovecloud said I was destined for this. He told me it would be okay. It wasn't. Stuff just... fell apart. I didn't know what to do. I was born in those rose-colored days when the air smelled of milk and honey and cats had sugar in their smiles.
We found the Raiders, or rather, they found us. They came from beyond the river. At first, we got along. We established borders, we kept our distance... But it just got harder. Everyday someone seemed to violate something, or someone. We were so used to having it all... no one wanted to share... and no one respected each other. And no one... no one... would listen to me--
I--I'm sorry. Who are you? Where am I? The pain... I hurt. Did you do this? G-go away! Get away from me!
Wait... have you seen Stormstar? H-he's my father. He'll know how to help... He always knows how to help."

the merciless BLAZINGSTAR, THE SEVENTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "For too long, MarshClan lived a lavish life of frivolity and comfort. By the time I took power, I could see how our warriors were losing their edge; the raiders beyond our border were fierce and intelligent--familiar with hardship. We knew no such pain. I knew when I assumed leadership, I would be dragging my Clanmates up to a better standard. It was I that established the Warrior Code MarshClan knows today. Before we had my laws, MarshClan was full of hapless, selfish bastards. If not for me, we would have surely perished by our own folly.
So, if you're asking me if I have any regrets--the answer is no. I hearkened back to the time of Darkstar, for he knew how to instill order, and most importantly, fear. Better to be feared than be loved. I made sure my warriors were disciplined and hardened fighters. No raider stood a chance on our land once I trained them to my liking. We soaked the earth with their blood and took back what was rightfully ours as well as their respect.
MarshClan lost a lot of good warriors during the power struggle with the raiders. It took many moons and many lives before we saw peace again--but we had to avenge Hazestar and Dovecloud. Their deaths were by the raiders' claws, after all. Any raider found on our land would meet a swift end. It was the only way. The right way.
I know where I stand. I do not deny the blood on my paws, but before you leave, I hope you keep in mind what it means to be a warrior. Kill or be killed."

the paranoid FADEDSTAR, THE EIGHTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "What do you want? How did you get here?
... .....
I see... Well, you should be careful venturing into the past. You know not what you may find. Demons take shelter in our tortured memories.
When Blazingstar died, my heart died with him. He was everything I wanted to be. He was everything I ever wanted. I tried so hard to be like him... but I could not shake this voice... it kept telling me I would fail, that I would never be good enough.
I--I knew that Blazingstar died because someone betrayed him. He was the greatest fighter in all of MarshClan, for him to fall in battle, it just didn't make sense. He had a lot of enemies, you see. Many of our warriors sympathized with the raiders because of Blazingstar's... tactics. I had no choice. Yes, it was I that began the trials in MarshClan. I knew there were spies in our ranks, those that wanted to help the raiders. Among them, I knew I would find Blazingstar's killer. But... I never felt like I did. I banished many warriors, maybe too many, but--but I knew! I knew they were traitors!
They're all traitors... Olivebranch was murdered under my leadership. It had to be the traitors, they were trying to get back at me for punishing them. I was left with her daft apprentice, Cloudwatcher. Now, he was a loon. You know he talked to himself? Ha! None of the apprentices wanted to become his student... thankfully, my dearest friend Twistedleg stepped up. He was a good friend of Blazingstar's as well. I knew with him, we would be safe. It was not long before he became Twistedshadow, the greatest medicine cat of all time!"
Find me at Father's Fang.

the pariah SMALLSTAR, THE NINTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "I was the first and only deputy Cloudwatcher chose in his lifetime. I could not tell you why he seemed to believe that I was the one destined to lead MarshClan, but I took on the responsibility as best I could. I wanted to shed light on MarshClan again. Fadedstar had caused my warriors to lose trust in leadership. There was a lot of in-fighting, a lot unrest... It was not a good time to be leader in MarshClan, but I refused to let that change my will.
Peace was what I vied for. The raiders were a proud but intelligent tribe; their medicine and combat tactics far superseded our own. I thought we could learn from them if we created a truce. When I proposed the idea to my medicine cat, Cloudwatcher, he was over the moon. He thought this could be the key to MarshClan's ascent from our many moons of bloodshed and mistrust. But... Twistedshadow, his counterpart, refuted it. He vowed that raiders and warriors could never be at peace. I was caught in their power struggle... I could not get anything done with my medicine cats at war with one another.
My warriors noticed the divide....
Twistedshadow was a valiant warrior before he converted to being a medicine cat. He fought in many battles and won. I could only wish my Clan would admire me as much as he... When it appeared I favored Cloudwatcher--the more eccentric of the two--my warriors began to doubt my judgment more than ever. I should've headed the warnings from the stars, for they whispered to me the impending shadows that thirsted to cloak my Clan forever.
Lightningstrike was a charismatic and popular warrior at the time, I favored him, it's true. But... how could I not? He was everything I wasn't... I envied him. I was blind to his ambitions. I was so eager to be accepted by my Clan, I could not see what occurred after dark.
I had only been leader for ten moons before I was ousted from the territory. Twistedshadow proclaimed the stars had shifted, and called for a new regime, with Lightningstrike on the throne. We were chased. My deputy, Firebird, and medicine cat, Cloudwatcher, as well as those still loyal to me... We had no choice but to flee to the raiders and beg for sanctuary after the coup.
To my surprise, they welcomed me. They had seen my efforts to qualm the fighting between us and respected me for it. If only I had a little more time... Maybe I could've changed things? When Lightningstar invaded the raiders' territory, I knew they came for me. The raiders would not allow me to fight alone. They came to my aide and tried to protect me... Many, many lives were lost that day in a senseless battle of ideologies. So much blood. The screams...
I know not where I walk now. My lives were stolen from me that day, I know it. I cannot rest knowing what my death, my failure, had caused... I know in my heart that I am the one that doomed MarshClan... forever.
Cause of Death: Died in battle.

the naïve LIGHTNINGSTAR, THE TENTH LEADER OF MARSHCLAN "Being a warrior in MarshClan was all I ever wanted as a kit. To serve my leader and StarClan to best of my ability, it... it was my dream! When Twistedshadow first approached me... I never thought he would whisper promises of success or glory. I never wanted for it. Yes, I did let my feats get to my head. Yes, I may have been... overconfident, but I never dreamed nor aspired to take leadership by force. It--it just...
I knew I had to do it. The difference between wanting to and having to is separated by several skies. I told myself it was right. We were going to save MarshClan! The stars spoke of revolution, a new order, a better path. How could I refuse? You--you understand, right? It was my destiny!
I never wanted to kill Smallstar, but again, it was never about what I wanted. Kits were going missing. The raiders had to be the cause. They had to! War was a last resort, I made it be so when I became leader. Smallstar may have been wrong about many things, but she was right about our past of bloodshed. It had to stop. But when our kits start disappearing, what can you do? We had to get them back.
Murkstorm was my greatest friend. When we charged into battle, I knew I would be safe so long as he was by my side. He always gave me a hard time for sparing Smallstar that day, and he never forgot my mercy for her. It put a wedge between our trust and dug splinters into our friendship. I just wish he realized how much I cared for him.
If you see him, would you tell him that? Tell him that I care for him and forgive him. Maybe then... I can finally be at peace..."
