Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Swiftpaw was a ThunderClan apprentice under Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born to Goldenflower and Patchpelt alongside Lynxkit, and was an older half-brother to Bramblekit and Tawnykit. He was apprenticed as Swiftpaw to his half-brother, Longtail, and when Bluestar refused to give him, Thornpaw, and Brightpaw their warrior names out of paranoia, Swiftpaw formed a plan with the other apprentices to drive out the pack of dogs near Snakerocks. Brightpaw was the only one to agree to go with him; however, both were quickly overwhelmed by the amount of dogs, and in the end, Swiftpaw was killed, and Brightpaw was severely injured. Swiftpaw ascended to StarClan and gave Fireheart the life for mentoring.

"I don't know when the end came for Swiftpaw. I only remember him fighting like all of LionClan. That's how I will always remember him."
?? Brightheart about Swiftpaw's final moments in Secrets of the Clans, page 14
