Maelstrom

Description
Maelstrom is a blind, snowy-white tom with gray flecks and icy-blue eyes, one of them missing. He has a distinctive scar starting at his temple and connecting to the line of his mouth.

History
Maelstrom's parents were Rainywater and Lelouch, a rogue who was a member of Genba's army. When the kits were a moon old, Rainywater sent her kits to live with him (and was exiled because of it). Duskkit and Sleetkit lived there for several moons before they met Bella. Sleetkit latched onto her immediately, thinking of her as a surrogate mother, and adopted her Clan-hating ways. He watched as TacoClanners later turned Bella in to Genba's soldiers who publicly killed her, solidifying his hate.

He met up with Shackle in the forest, and after the tom swore loyalty to him, he changed his name to Maelstrom and left Genba. Duskkit did not go with him. Maelstrom began plotting revenge against TacoClan, and he and Shackle lingered in the area before they were driven out after several skirmishes, settling in the Beyond Forest, where Shackle uncovered a series of tunnels. Maelstrom trained with Shackle, learning how to take on larger opponents, and learned several deadly techniques. Maelstrom made a deal with Vetis, giving him Shackle's soul in exchange for Vetis taking one of Wolfstar's lives.

He was visited in his dreams by Bella, who told him she would be reincarnated, so they traveled to Griffin Hill to get her. She inhabits the body of Jaci, Rainywater's daughter and Maelstrom's sister.

Maelstrom, Shackle, and Jaci returned to the Beyond Forest. Maelstrom did return to TacoClan territory, however, and attacked Hailkit, nearly killing him. Cedarwhisker rushed to the kit's aid, but was slain by Maelstrom, and the rogue was forced to flee back to the Beyond Forest. Shackle treated his wounds and the group prepared to flee, knowing TacoClan would soon seek vengeance. Before they disappeared into the tunnels, they recruited Mackerel.

They rigged the tunnels to collapse so the Clan would think they were dead, and headed to Griffin Hill in hopes of talking to Sand and learning more information about TacoClan. Before they were able to leave, Vetis interrupted them, and Maelstrom made a deal with him in secret to buy Shackle more time, selling his soul in the process.

He ordered Shackle to scar his face so he could infiltrate the Clan unrecognized. Afterwards, he followed Shackle farther into Griffin Hill and revealed his deal, sparking an argument between them.

Both deals were reversed by the newcomer to Maelstrom's group, Mackerel, when the she-cat agreed to be Vetis's servant.

Maelstrom ordered Shackle to scar his face, and entered TacoClan territory as Sleetkit. He was renamed Sleetpaw, and quickly befriended Shadypaw with his adorable stories. He plays the part of Sleetpaw very well. Thunderpaw doesn't like him, because of his friendship with the young tom's sister.

He made an attempt to be more like a 'true Master' for Shackle, but found that he was unable to be angry and controlling enough, even after learning how Shackle had failed to follow his orders. He blames himself for this, despite the fact that Shackle is a bit grateful to have a laxer Master.

While in TacoClan, he fell for Shadypaw, which eventually led to him bringing her to the den and confessing everything. He was torn apart when she left him, and her last words haunt him still.
