because he killed the a river clan warrior ( bluestar's mate) and tigerstar killed redtail. if you read the first seres you will find out.
NOT TRUE! Tigerstar killed Redtail hoping that Bluestar would pick him as the next deputy. Btw Oakheart was killed by being crushed by falling rocks.
i disagree with the first answer if you read more you'll know the truth.tigerstar killed redtail after rocks fell on and killed oakheart
NOT TRUE ABOVE: HE NEVER DIED. He was in 3 books. He is alive in 2 books,but defaultly 3. Tigerstar lied about his death so he can be deputy. The second,is his kit life. The 3rd,he is deputy and granted 9 lives. And killed by tigerstar,but if he has 9 lives and died 2 times in the same book,which means he will be reincarnated and have 6 lives left to go. And he didnt die again.
If you mean in publishing order, then Redtail in Into the Wild is the first cat to die. Chronologically, I have no idea.
The first cat to die in the Warriors series is Redtail, the ThunderClan deputy, who is killed by Tigerclaw during a battle in the first book, "Into the Wild." His death sets off a chain of events that drive the plot forward.
As of the warriors book Sunrise, Hazeltail has not yet died.
Tigerstar, Scourge, Firestar(one life), Silverstream, Crookedstar, Oakheart, Stoneclaw, Bluestar, Redtail, Swiftpaw, Rosetail, Clawface, Brokenstar, Yellowfang, Spottedleaf, Whitethroat, Runningwind. AND MORE AND I DON'T WANT TO GO FARTHER
Yes, she dies in The Forest of Secrets, which is the first book of the first series, bearing Graystripe's kits.
yes, he was slayed by Tigerstar.
I hope you don't mind if I improve this a little Tigerclaw... Redtail (former ThunderClan Deputy) , Oakheart (RiverClan Deputy) , Rosetail (ThunderClan Elder) , Lionheart (ThunderClan Deputy), and Spottedleaf (ThunderClan medicine cat) die. Bluestar (ThunderClan Leader) loses her seventh life. (Hey that's me :)! ) Raggedstar (Former ShadowClan Leader) dies between Bluestar's Prophecy and Into the Wild Thanks -Bluestar
Probably the last book of Omen of the Stars
nope the 5th one.
Well Redtail, deputy of Thunderclan, and Oakheart, deputy of Riverclan, both die near the begining of Into The Wild. Even though it doesnt tell much about the two characters, they are still the first that are mentioned that have died. Tigerclaw (Tigerstar) Killed Redtail, while Oakheart was crushed by a rockslide. (Later on in Into The Wild:) Spottedleaf (we will remember you forever) the Thunderclan medicine cat. Killed by Brokenstar's asassin Clawface
Scourge dies in the 6th book of the Original Arc 'The Darkest Hour'.
Birdflight does not die in a book, but she dies.
