Brokenstar is a supporting antagonist in Moonkitti's Warrior Cats shorts and I Spoil series. He was once the leader of ShadowClan, who was infamous for making kittens into warrior apprentices to send into battle three moons early, often resulting in their deaths. He was exiled from ShadowClan and later became a prisoner of ThunderClan. After his death, his spirit went to the Dark Forest, where he started training living cats - namely Breezepelt - to help him and his fellow Dark Forest spirits get revenge on the living world.
He is voiced by Moonkitti in the I Spoil series as well as in Yellowfang and Breezepelt, and by improductivenot in Change Sides.
