Lostgale

Lostgale was a rather dark and mysterious member of DarkClan, and a close friend of the leader at the time, Mottledstar. He was the one that inspired the Ranger position, and as a result, was one of the first Rangers ever to exist within the clan. He was well respected, but also somewhat disliked for his serious, and consistently brooding personality.

Appearance.
Lostgale is large, intimidatingly so, but not particularly a behemoth like some felines could claim to be. His fur is a dark, ash gray, laced with tabby stripes and darker speckles that allow him to blend in with the dark background of the woodland quite well, and that, alongside his masterful expertise in stealth, often allows him to, seemingly, materialize out of no where. His eyes are a molten amber, and shine with an ominous light.

History.
Lostgale was not born in DarkClan, like most others you could find there. Rather, he was, at first, a ShadowClanner, though this part of his past is not entirely well known, nor is it often expressed. He grew up just like any other, but there was a darker side to his past. For one, at the age of six moons, his parents were murdered by a passing rogue on the territory, and while he had been accompanying them, observed the ordeal with horrifying comprehension. He was taken in by his grandfather, after that, and raised with care, though from that moment on, he had ultimately contracted a far more fierce, and cold atmosphere, as if he were without emotion, always brooding, and seemingly without compassion. But he was quite the opposite, actually. Lostgale simply became a master had hiding his feelings, which allowed for his signature, stoic scowl that he was so often known for. ShadowClan wasn't the greatest clan, however, and it wasn't long after becoming a warrior that he departed from his home. The memories that were left there were unwanted. Lostgale then stumbled upon DarkClan, in which he was immediately accepted into, and made a close friend out of the leader, Mottledstar. Seeing his capabilities and expertise in stealth and combat, he became known somewhat as an Elite, and the Ranger rank was creted, with him being the first, alongside a later promoted apprentice, Falconrise. For many moons he served his clan as a Ranger, teaching his apprentice all that he knew, whilst keeping a few secrets to himself, given his mysterious nature. One day, however, he was struck down by the BloodClanner known as Coppermine, who later became the leader of BloodClan. While Lostgale was mourned for many moons afterward, his memory still remains.
