Personality|| Wraith is the cat you come to to solve your problems. He's seen a lot, he's smart, he's approachable, and he's very capable of handling himself in almost any situation. However, as much as he as a very open facade, "friendly" is not exactly a word that fits him. He's charming and always knows the best thing to say to make someone fell better or convince them to do something.
He's very guarded about his past, often avoiding the subject of himself. He feels guilty about what happened to his sister and how he was jealous of her, and hopes she made it somewhere safe after all this time.
Wraith's pelt displays a harsh history, littered with scars, however, he's still very much fit, something that is often surprising to those that see him. He's proud of his skills and along with his aloof nature, comes across as a bit cold-hearted, but he is nothing if not caring, he's just...also focused on his own goals a lot of the time. He's sort of an anti-hero. He just wants to look out for himself, but he can't help but get attached to others or feel obligated to help them is he can. He just tries to play it off as if he only did it to help himself. He's got a number of enemies, a large amount of cats who don't understand him, a few cats that dig his mysterious stranger vibe, even less actual friend, and a very torn soul.
Wraith has a second part to his name he got from one of the clans he joined, but he only shares it with those close to him and there are few of those. He prefers to use just his rogue name, because at heart, that is what he is, even if he will maintain allegiance to a clan, he'sbeen a part of many, willing and unwilling, that he doesn't feel he belongs to any single place. He also uses the name as a way to distance himself from others. If he sounds like a loner, they will leave him to his own devices and fear him. And because really, what clan cat would be named Wraith? It's already a dead give away and while he could probably change it, it fits him well.
Driftbreeze|| Wraith is indebted to the First Navigator for saving his life and for saving the life of another close to him. While he might have repaid his own personal debt long ago, he feels a sort of kinship with the clan leader and wants to do what he can to support his goals.
Ghostzephyr|| Wraith could tell from the first moment they met that Ghostzephyr resented him and yet respected his brother's decision to make Wraith the second in command. He does his best to tread lightly around Ghost, but isn't sure if he will have to confront the black bengal or not.
Windrunner|| Wraith finds the red tom slightly aggravating and dislikes his overuse of jokes and puns. He values Windrunner's speed and dedication to the clan. Truthfully, Wraith is a bit envious of the ranger, because he wants similar things but feels like he has too many things holding him back.

History|| Wraith was born to a family of rogue cats. He was very close to his sister, Wisp, but their parents always seemed to treat her better than him, so he struggled with inner demons. He loved his sister, but he didn't understand why others liked her more than him. Wraith was a very playful, adventurous kit, always exploring and getting into trouble with his sister. When they were barely 6 moons old, he and Wisp were exploring the bank of a nearby river during a rainstorm. It suddenly picked up, wind tugging their fur, buckets of water drenching them. Wraith pushed Wisp into the river for fun, Somewhere up river, a dam broken, causing a sudden flood. Both kits were swept away. Wraith tried to get to his sister and managed to pull her out of the river onto some boulders, but got clipped by a rushing log and sent under. They both ended up getting washed to separate places. Wraith assumes his sister is alive somewhere, and he isn't sure about their parents.
Since then, he's been traveling. Partly in search of her, partly just to stay alive. He was found near dead by a clan cat and was nursed back to health by the clan. The clan's medicine cat was infatuated with him, and tho he stayed for a while, he didn't feel welcome. He wasn't interested in the she-cat, but eventually the leader found out and threatened him, so he left.
Wraith wanted to know more about clan cats, however, since it was clear there was safety in numbers, so he found another, this time intentionally, and decided to take a different approach to learn what he could about them. He was about a year now, had learned to hunt, but wasn't much of a fighter, so he wanted to learn from the warriors. He seduced the deputy of the clan, a small but very feisty she-cat whom no one could get along with. He convinced her to take him as an apprentice even at his age, and she and the warriors of the clan trained him. While there, the clan got into a territory dispute with another clan. Wraith nearly sacrificed himself to protect his deputy and at her request, his leader. He was made a warrior for his dedication and the cats all welcomed him fully. A year or more later, the leader died of a disease and Wraith's deputy became leader. He disliked the high profile this gave him and the pressure to give her kits. He promised to do so if she would let him leave. Eventually, she realized he would leave her anyway and that perhaps he didn't really like her, so she agreed.
Somewhere in here, he meets Amberstar...
Wraith spent a while roaming on his own, sharing experiences with other loners and barn cats, for a time taking charge of a loner band, but they were ousted from their territory by a new clan with many more cats then they. His band expertly avoid them for a while, but when they started calling for blood, he betrayed them to the clan cats for safe passage through their territory to newer lands. Unfortunately, they weren't a very pleasant sort of clan. They killed or maimed many of the loners instead of running them off, and they took Wraith as a prisoner. Also unfortunately, their leader was interested enough in him to keep him alive in the short term. The clan kept other slaves and "abandoned" cats, training them to be warriors or putting them in their place if they refused. As they were a clan than enjoyed fighting and combat prowess but didn't have many enemies to fight, the leader had started a combat arena, for warriors fight each other and display who was stronger, often determining seniority in the clan. They forced Wraith to fight in the arena over and over, using him as a punching bag for a while until he started to fight back, using his hidden skills as a trained warrior and what he picked up fighting these cats. He might have won fights, but that didn't get him any closer to escaping or winning his freedom. He was imprisoned there a long time and began to embrace his enjoyment of combat and became less attached to everything and more and more ruthless in his fighting. It was a slow change, one he barely noticed until he met some new captives, young apprentices. And one day, with the help of one of those cats, he escaped.
After escaping from them, he encountered Thrushstar briefly...
He later encounters Driftsky...
At present, Wraith serves as Driftbreeze's faithful Second Navigator. When the clan first moved into this new territory, some of the rangers accidentally crossed Muleclan's border. Mulestar immediately formed a group to to attack Dustclan, viewing them as hostile invaders. Wraith organized the rangers to retaliate and hold off Mulestar's party. Wraith himself took on Muleclan's strongest warrior, Torntalon and defeated him in combat, forcing Mulestar to call a truce.
More to come.
