One Eye (Warriors)

"He's a bully and a murderer. He's a rogue with fierce battle skills, and he's hungry for power. He knows this area very well; he claimed to know about the sickness."

- Clear Sky about One Eye

One Eye is a villain in Erin Hunter's Warriors book series. He is a scrawny, mottled pale ginger tom cat with jagged claws, mangy, knotted fur, and a single yellow eye, hence his name. He is the main antagonist of "The Blazing Star", the fourth book of the story arc "Dawn of the Clans" .

History
One Eye is an old and fearsome rogue that comes to join Clear Sky's group of cats, along with Tom, a former kittpet (household cat). Tom says that One Eye is the bravest rogue in the entire forest, and says that he may look sick and skinny, but is the perfect cat for the group. He continues until One Eye pounces on his back, digging in his broken claws before jumping back down. Shocked Tom asks why he did that, and One Eye coldly retorts that he can speak for himself

One Eye initially helps Clear Sky's group, teaching them battle skills, proving himself to be an exceptionally capable despite his age, but also proves himself to be a cruel bully. When Tom's daughter, Sparrow Fur, comes to see her father, he attacks her for "trespassing", but Tom intervenes and One Eye kills him in cold blood. He later reveals that he has a gang of mean rogues like himself and takes over Clear Sky's group by force, marking each of them with his emblem; a slash in the shape of an eye. One Eye rules over the group through fear, ruthlessly maiming any cat who disobeys him and refusing to provide any support for any cat who cannot take care of themselves.

When a mysterious sickness breaks out and the moor cats search for the "Blazing Star", a healing herb that can cure it, One Eye refuses to let them have it, wanting them to die. He also refuses to help any cat in his own group who has been infected with the sickness, instead leaving them to die.

Later, the moor cats, led by Thunder, come up with a plan to defeat One Eye once and for all. But Thunder's lover, Star Flower, revealed to be One Eye's daughter, betrays them and lures them into a trap. However, through the combined efforts of Gray Wing, Cloud Sports, Lightning Tail and Thunder, One Eye is finally slain and his minions retreat.

Even after his death, One Eye's memory continues to haunt the cats who suffered because of him.
