FWSY - Tigerclaw — Description

What's better than a devil you don't know? A devil you do.

Tigerclaw is a villain everyone knows well. I don't have much to add to his character; though I wanted to give him some depth and nuance, and to explore his wasted potential. He did not come into the world as stone-cold killer, and could have just as well not gone astray and be a great warrior, but he crossed the line and gave in to his hunger for power. He is one of the most feared fighters in the four Clans, and a cunning stategist.

He doesn't have much friends in the Clan, only followers or acquiantances. Whitestorm, another only kit in his litter who grew up beside him, and is the only cat who insist on calling him a friend, and also feels partially responsible for what his father succeeded to raise Tigerclaw into. (Basically everyone else only get to know a carefully crafted persona, who knows how to manipulate everyone.)

His apprentices got the worst of him: Darkstripe he succeeded to mould into what he wanted, and more sensitive Ravenpaw who reminded him too much of his own fears would never have made it through his training. After Redtail's death, Bluestar made the choice to give Dustpaw to Tigerclaw, and took upon herself to train Ravenpaw.
