Guardians of Ga'Hoole series[]

The Outcast[]

Nyra, the new leader of the Pure Ones, needed the assistance of dire wolves, So she got some paintings of the Others' green eyes, as a dire wolf's eye is green. She delivered them to the MacHeaths as a rogue smith. When she later revealed her true identity, Nyra claimed to the clan and their leader, Dunleavy, they were actually the chosen wolves of the sacred watch, not the MacDuncans. In exchange for the Ember, the owl kingdoms, and Coryn, the MacHeaths were promised to have control over the Sacred Rings.

The Golden Tree[]

After the failed deal with Nyra, Dunleavy became insane and left for a while. Later, he returned as a vyrrwolf, along with his mate. Most MacHeaths were killed for defying him. The few left - around six as a whole - joined him, and some became vyrwolves themselves. Thpugh Dunleavy and all of the vyrrwolves who were once Macheaths were killed fighting the Band and a small group of dire wolves, the MacHeath Clan somehow continued to exist, perhaps through one of its minor clans.

Wolves of the Beyond series[]

Shadow Wolf[]

It was revealed when Hamish became the Fengo, he worked with the gaddernock to change the laws to allow other wolf clan members to become part of the Watch, including the MacHeaths.

Dunbar was killed by Edme, finishing the scar her mother gave him before dying.
