Deputies

About the Deputy Rank
Deputies are second in command of a Clan. A deputy is chosen by their respective leader to be their successor. Deputies sleep in the warriors' den; they do not have their own den like leaders do. Deputies are responsible for organizing daily patrols for the Clan, such as hunting patrols and border patrols. If a ThunderClan leader is unable to lead temporarily due to sickness, absence from the Clan, etc., then the deputy would take over for that time. If a deputy is sick or injured, then a warrior will temporarily take their place. If a leader dies, their deputy would travel to Moonstone/Moonpool with the medicine cat to share tongues with StarClan and receive their nine lives. If a deputy dies, the leader must appoint a new deputy before moonhigh.
