Tigerstar

[Lilyfire~[♫]]

Kit Name: Tigerkit

Apprentice Name: Tigerpaw

Warrior Name: Tigerclaw

Leader Name: Tigerstar

Clan: Deathclan

Age: Unknown

Gender: Tom

Description: Tigerstar is described as a tall, muscular, and deadly looking tabby tom with amber eyes. His front claws are unusually long, perfect for ripping the flesh of his enemies. His ears are ripped down the middle so they are in 'v' shapes, and he has a deep scar on the bridge of his nose.
Tigerstar is covered in many scars, the biggest being down his middle, the one that killed him. This he received from Scourge, the half brother of Firestar. Tigerstar still feels a little pain from this scar, but ignores it completely.
Tigerstar had his tail half ripped off, so it dangles by a few strands of sinew and muscle, and it was ripped off by a Starclan cat when Deathclan and Starclan fought.
Tigerstar is one of the tallest and most terrifying looking cats out there, none are as dealy looking, or as battered and torn.
Tigerstar's eyes are a brilliant amber colour, but sometimes flash with red and anger. Tigerstar is well known, and likes to make himself known with his loud roar.

Personality: Tigerstar is a cruel and unforgiving tom. He holds grudges against everyone, even if they have not known the cat himself. Tigerstar is manipulative and rather single minded; he wants his revenge and he wants it now.
Tigerstar has never shown a soft side, but from the bubbly and excitable little kit he was, he has changed an almightly lot. He is a very ambitious cat, cruel and merciless. If he gets information from an unreliable source, he will get his warriors to kill the source so they cannot relay information to anyone else.
Tigerstar is one of the most cruel cats the land has ever seen, not even Darkclan would let him in. Tigerstar has rallied cats loyal to him to join his clan, Deathclan, and with his ambitious and cruel son by his side, he believes he can do anything he pleases.

History: Manga: The Rise of Scourge
Tigerpaw was on a patrol made up of Thistleclaw, Bluefur, and himself, who run into Tiny while patrolling their border. Thistleclaw thought he should be chased out, but Bluefur defends him, and says that he is only a kit. Thistleclaw said that she was being soft on him because he was a kittypet. He then asked his apprentice, Tigerpaw, what he thought, and Tigerpaw said that he should be taught a lesson. Thistleclaw asks him to attack, and Tigerpaw almost kills him before being stopped by Bluefur, who said that a cat doesn't need to kill to win a battle. Tigerpaw said he was only defending his Clan. He then appears when he and Boulder go to Scourge about his "enemies" and the deal which leads into The Darkest Hour. He is last seen when Scourge kills him with a single blow from the dog teeth in his claws.
In the Original Series
Into the Wild
Near the very beginning of the book Tigerclaw takes place in the battle against RiverClan for Sunningrocks. Tigerstar tells his fellow clanmates, Ravenpaw and Mousefur, to run home, and when nobody is there, he attacks the deputy Redtail. Tigerclaw kills Redtail, and hopes that Bluestar will make him deputy. When he was on his way back to camp, he drags Redtail's body home. He sees Ravenpaw in the distance, still running, and thinks maybe he saw the murder. When Tigerclaw gets back to camp he tells the clan that Redtail was slain by Oakheart, deputy of RiverClan, and Tigerclaw killed Oakheart in vengeance. Throughout the book, Tigerstar keeps bullying Ravenpaw so he can't tell anybody about his plot. After the battle with ShadowClan, Lionheart dies. Bluestar makes Tigerclaw the deputy. Tigerclaw seems to be happy when Firepaw and Graypaw say that Ravenpaw was killed in the forest.
Fire and Ice
Tigerclaw set up a trap for Bluestar at the Thunderpath, but Bluestar had caught greencough, so Cinderpaw went instead. She was hit by a monster, and it twisted her leg around, crippling her for life, hence she couldn't become a warrior of ThunderClan. When ThunderClan battle RiverClan, Tigerclaw watches Fireheart as he is viciously attacked by the RiverClan deputy, Leopardfur. Later, he accuses Fireheart of letting a RiverClan she-cat go.
Forest of Secrets
In Forest of Secrets, Tigerclaw tried to murder Bluestar while a group of rogues attacked ThunderClan camp, but Fireheart intervened and beat Tigerclaw. If he had succeeded, he would have made it look like a rogue had killed Bluestar, and thus would become leader without question. He was then exiled by ThunderClan after his treacherous actions were revealed to ThunderClan. He offered Darkstripe, Dustpelt, and Longtail, his biggest supporters, to come with him, but they rejected him. Tigerclaw also suspected Fireheart to know the truth about Redtail's death. So to keep Fireheart quiet, he tried to murder him when Bluestar asked him (Tigerclaw) to head a patrol to look for a passageway to go to the Gathering in the floods. Tigerclaw ordered him to try to walk across through a weak branch, a way to drown him but Longtail, who was part of the patrol, rescued Fireheart.
Rising Storm
In Rising Storm, he and a group of rogues attack a patrol consisting of Mousefur, Runningwind, and Thornpaw. Runningwind was killed, while the other two got away. When Fireheart found out, he, Whitestorm and Mousefur went to find Runningwind. When they got there, they saw Whitethroat standing over his body. Fireheart, thinking Whitethroat killed Runningwind, chases him onto the Thunderpath, where he is hit by a monster. His last moments are of terror as he sees Tigerclaw over Fireheart's shoulder. Tigerclaw is caught by a surprise attack from Fireheart, and the rogues come to help him. Then Graystripe comes with a RiverClan patrol, and drives away the rogues and Tigerclaw. Just before he leaves, Tigerclaw tells Fireheart that he plans on killing as many ThunderClan cats as he can.
At the very end of the book, Tigerclaw appears at the Gathering as the new leader of ShadowClan, Tigerstar.
A Dangerous Path
In A Dangerous Path, Tigerclaw has become Tigerstar , the leader of ShadowClan.
He meets the RiverClan elder, Graypool, during a trip to RiverClan territory to speak with Leopardstar. Graypool, mistaking him for Oakheart, tells him about ThunderClan giving up two kits, and that she cared for them. She realizes that he is not Oakheart and, startled, slips backwards down the slope, hitting her head on a rock, and she is killed instantly.
At one Gathering, he demands that Bluestar turn his kits over to ShadowClan, in an attempt to save them from the attack he is quietly planning. Bluestar puts off her decision for another moon, until the next Gathering, and surprisingly, Tigerstar agrees.
He feeds a pack of dogs that have escaped into the forest, and taken refuge at Snakerocks. He continuously feeds them dead rabbits, and eventually sets a trail of dead rabbits, leading to ThunderClan's camp. At the end of the trail, he prevokes he dogs,and they kill Brindlece and nearly kill Brightheart as well.Tigerstar gives Brindlece to the dogs to give the dogs a taste for cat blood. He asked Darkstripe to bring his kits to him before the pack got to the camp, but Darkstripe was stopped by Fireheart.
When Fireheart is about to lead the dogs off of the cliff, Tigerstar pins him down, letting the dogs get closer, where they can kill him. The pack leader attacks Fireheart, but Bluestar cannons into the dog's side, knocking him off the cliff. As the dog fell, though, he managed to grab Bluestar's leg, and pull her off as well.
Bluestar is pulled out of the river by her kits, Mistyfoot, Stonefur,and Fireheart,then Fireheart shares tongues with her for the last time, Graystripe keeps Tigerstar away.

Stonefur was killed by Blackfoot, but Featherpaw and Stormpaw escaped into ThunderClan territory with Featherpaw's mentor, Mistyfoot.
After the three cats escaped form TigerClan, Tigerstar tried to bring Scourge and BloodClan, a vicious Clan from the Twolegplace, into the forest, in order to convince Tallstar and Firestar to submit to his leadership.
