Old Deuteronomy
Old Deuteronomy is the leader os all the Jellicles. Everyone respects him and is not too proud to show it-even Rum Tum Tugger! He is very old, but everyone will stop anything to help or listen to him.
He got cat-napped by Macavity, but the loyal Mistoffelees brought him back magically. Some people think that Mistoffelees is his son. Munksutrap, however, is more likely to be his son. He is the most loyal to Old Deuteronomy, and his colors are more the same(sure, Deuteronomy's old, but I'm trying to make a point!)
He wanted to accept Grizabella, but didn't because he wisely wanted one of the other cats to accept and forgive her themselves.
He eventually chose her to "Come back to a different Jellicle life".
