Biography
History:

Aldwyn was born in Maidenmere to Corliss of the Windchanter tribe, and Baxley of the Mooncatcher tribe. One day, before he was born, his father went to Malvern, the clan leader, and told him of a vision he had of his son in danger. Baxley refused to let anything harm his son, and left for the Dogwood Temple based on a nursery rhyme he had heard as a kitten. When he returned, he returned with the spheris, an artifact that drew the possessor to the Crown of the Snow Leopard. By that time, Corliss had given birth to Aldwyn and his sister, Yeardley. He said his goodbyes to his children and his mate, and set off towards the north. Baxley was never seen again. Soon afterward, Malvern discovered that Corliss was acting strangely around him. He realized that Corliss had discovered his secret-that he was in alliance to Paksahara, who was planning to take over Vastia and become its ruler. To protect him, Corliss sent Aldwyn on a bed of twigs and leaves to have him wash up in the streets of Bridgetower. During this, Malvern and Corliss fought, and Malvern drowned her. Aldwyn, washing up in Bridgetower as a kitten and believing that he was abandoned, having no recollection of his time in Maidenmere, grew up as an alley at on the streets. He was apparently on of the smartest cats, as he not only trained his four paws but also his tail. When Aldwyn was a kitten, he lost a chunk of his left ear in a fight with an angry cruel bounty dog.

Aldwyn is a black cat with a white muzzle forehead, green eyes and a white forearm paw on the right. He has a tear in one of his ears.

When they return to Maidenmere in Book Two, Aldwyn reveals that he does have Maidenmere cat powers. Malvern teaches him how to make his cat clan symbol (Mooncatcher). Aldwyn is informed by Malvern that his father was greedy and that his mother drowned herself. This causes Aldwyn to feel confused as to the reasons for his parents' actions. While Aldwyn, Skylar and Gilbert were making their trip to The Crown, Malvern was following them. Aldwyn later sees Paksahara's symbol on an imprint that Malvern left in the sand. He tries to throw him off course. However Malvern later realizes that he has been tricked. When they arrive at the stones, Paksahara appears in the form of a bird. She then attacks them, with Malvern by her side. Malvern reveals the truth: that he was one of Paksahara's first allies and that he killed Aldwyn's mom. In the end, Malvern is accidentally killed by one of Paksahara's spells. In the latest book, Malvern returns as one of the undead, brought back by Paksahara. He tries to kill Aldwyn, but fails.
