This leader is cunning and ruthless, powerful and intimidating. He embodies what it is that Lightclan stands for; strength and order. Those who follow his orders are rewarded, not just with first rights to food, but status and patrols of their own. He is, of course, careful to maintain his own power over them. Much of his own clan either fears him, or idolizes him. He is a leader, but not a kind one. The weak he will root out and cast away in shame, not giving them the glory of a death by combat. Jaggedstar was one of the first kits born to LightClan after the formation; he and his brother the second set of apprentices to sit vigil beneath Silverpelt.
As a kit, Jaggedstar had been named Blackkit by his mother, and his brother Skykit, had been the only two of their litter to survive being birthed. Their mother had died when they were apprentices, in a nasty fight with a dog, in which she was protecting the two of them. Their leader called it a humiliation to them, but Skykit knew it was a kindness. Blackkit on the other hand felt nothing about his mothers sacrifice. This, you could say, was the defining moment for the two apprentices. They learned, trained every day. They fought off a dog together, patrolled together. But Blackpaw never felt bad for killing a weaker cat. He didn't think twice about letting the losing warrior bleed out alone for some other cat to find. This brutality wasn't actively seen by his clan, but by the time him and his brother had come close to becoming warriors, Skypaw confronted him on it. Of all cats, his brother had to understand what Lightclan was doing was wrong, right? Wrong.
The night that Skypaw went out to hunt with Blackpaw was the night that the two fought, one trying desperately to save his own life while the other tore him apart. They were equally matched. Both found themselves in the Medicine Cat Den two days later, having slept or didn't remember the entire time. The two were cheered for their feriosity, their determination and neither said a thing about what really happened out there. Jaggedscar and Raggedpelt, scarred only by one another. Quickly they rose in the ranks, one naturally while the other wanted to reform the clan by becoming leader. Jaggedstar won in the end, keeping his brother as one of his most trusted warriors; until his betrayal. Raggedpelt spoke out against him, turned several cats against the clans values and that was the one thing that Jaggedstar could not stand. He, personally, fought several of the warriors defending Raggedpelt, and won, just to get to his brother. His claws pricked his brothers throat, the brown tom looking up at him with sky blue eyes.
