Brambleclaw, a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes, is Firestar's former apprentice and is the current ThunderClan deputy. He is often questioned about his loyalties because of his father, Tigerclaw, and not who Brambleclaw is himself. He receives a message from the dead Bluestar, where tells him that he must travel with cats from each Clan to hear what Midnight has to say. That leads him to be traveling with his sister Tawnypelt, Crowpaw, Feathertail and her brother Stormfur, and Firestar's daughter Squirrelpaw. All journey to sun-drown-place to find the badger, Midnight, who tells them that the Clans must find a new home. Brambleclaw seemed to take a leadership role on their journey.
Brambleclaw and the others help to find the Clans a new home around the lake. Once the four Clans had settled in their new homes, Tigerstar began to walk in the dreams of Brambleclaw and Brambleclaw's half-brother, Hawkfrost, both Tigerstar's kin. Tigerstar's goal was to make his two sons ambitious for power, like he was when he was alive. However, he believes that Brambleclaw is too weak to take power, so he plots with Hawkfrost to create a trap for Brambleclaw and Firestar. Hawkfrost shares his plot with Ashfur who was already an enemy of Brambleclaw's since he believes Brambleclaw took Squirrelflight away from him. Under the false assumption that Blackstar was waiting at the border, Firestar falls victim to a fox trap. Hawkfrost reveals that he was the one who led Firestar there, hoping Brambleclaw would kill Firestar, and planning to kill Brambleclaw if he refused. But it was Brambleclaw who killed Hawkfrost to save his leader and himself, thus making Brambleclaw worthy to be named the new deputy of ThunderClan.
In the book Sunset, Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, who had been quarrelling before, realize how important they truly are to each other and become mates, angering Ashfur. They apparently have three kits, Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze - however, in Long Shadows, Squirrelflight admits that Brambleclaw is not the father of her kits, and she never even had kits in the first place. Brambleclaw himself is unaware of this, according to Squirrelflight. Coincidentally, Ashfur was the mentor for his apparent son Lionblaze. Brambleclaw has mentored Berrynose.
