PERSONALITY

Tigerclaw is the villian of WARRIORS. He is a greedy, power hungry cat whose treachery and deceit knows no bounds. He is smart and secretive, and no one guesses his plans for many a while. He loves revenge and doesn't let anything get in the way of what he wants. Despite being merciless and treacherous, Tigerclaw is stern and cold, a strong and battle-savvy warrior.

HISTORY

INTO THE WILD Listed as ThunderClan warrior: Tigerclaw

In this first book we see Tigerclaw as a sinister but respected warrior. Later on in the book Firepaw discovers that he had murdered Redtail, ThunderClan's former deputy at the battle of sunningrocks. Tigerclaw's ambition is behind the evil act, but he is not named deputy. Not until Lionheart is killed that is [ITW17]. Soon he must face the problem of his apprentice Ravenpaw, who knows the secret of Redtail's fate. He plots to kill the young apprentice [ITW18], but doesn't get the chance before Ravenpaw is killed by a ShadowClan patrol (or so he believes [ITW25]).

GENERAL
Tigerclaw, ambitious to rule ThunderClan, plotted against Bluestar, the leader. His first step was to become deputy, but to do that, the current deputy must have been killed. Redtail was murdered by Tigerclaw and masked by a RiverClan battle. When Redtail's succeeder was Lionheart, Tigerclaw didn't make another kill; Lionheart was killed before he could. Finally Tigerclaw achieved what he had set out to do. Deputy was finally his position, but it wasn't enough for the ambitious villain. He set a trap for Bluestar to be killed, but young apprentice Cinderpaw fell into it and ended up permanently maimed. When Tigerclaw finally tried to murder Bluestar in cold blood, Fireheart thwarted him and revealed his treachery. Tigerclaw was banished from ThunderClan, but made sure to make the point clear that he would return for revenge. Returning as Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan, Tigerstar led a dog pack to the camp of ThunderClan. When his plan for revenge was foiled again by Fireheart and Bluestar, he invited BloodClan to help him destroy ThunderClan. Scourge, leader of BloodClan, killed Tigerstar, and his dark regien ended... Until The New Prophecy, when he returns to haunt and harness his sons into furthering his dark schemes...
