Leadership Roles

"Being a record of all Clan leaders and their deputies from the founders to the modern day, as written by your reliable historian, Warrior."So, I got bored a couple days ago and decided to write down a history of all Clan leaders from ye olden days all the way down to present day. This is three days of work. I'm only slightly sorry.

FallClan
"'Swift and ever-changing, FallClan inevitably draws the most graceful of cats. Like a river, they are always moving, always flowing.'"Founder: Fallstar

Deputy(s): Tallheart, Martinflare

Notable achievements: Formalizing the position of messenger

Duckstar

Deputy(s): Milkweedcall, Wingbreak (unofficial)

Notable achievements: Not actually getting his nine lives

Milkweedstar

Deputy(s): Weepingbrook

Notable achievements: He was an egotistical narcissist. Also, he really didn’t do much. His deputy ran the Clan. But he was great.

Weepingstar

Deputy(s): Stormclaw

Notable achievements: Running the Clan even when she was just the deputy. Yeah. That’s it so far.

Just an end note
Anyways, hope you enjoyed that. Let me know if you want to know more about anyone. I think it might be fun to do a couple novella-like stories featuring some of these historical figures or some minor characters like Albatrosswhisker or Thriftfoot. If you have any requests for those, just let me know. I'll try to start them in October, assuming anyone wants them.
