Title: Queen's Guard
Powers: Strategical thinking that often causes him to worry over the Queen's decisions, bringing a desperate wish to know the secrets of her plans to ensure that she is not endangering herself needlessly. Prowess in battle and adept abilities in working with earth and stone make him a formidable opponent.
History: Born within the human territories in a rare breeding of a shifter couple, he was raised with the history they knew told to him for bed time stories. As he grew he was taken from them, as all servants were taken from their parents after reaching a certain age, and sent to work. Often his only comforting thought was shifting between forms and recounting the tales he had learned. Eventually he was taken to claim a female, trotted from house to house to find the place he would settle at permanently. Slaves, like livestock, were bred to ensure a sufficient number - he, however, never found one who he deemed worth remaining behind for until he saw the Queen being placed before a line of males to be chosen. Stunned he had nearly been too late in stepping forward to claim his right to remain, the only way to save her from being turned into food for hunting dogs. He knew that any slave female that was not even deemed worthy to the slave males was quickly done away with, so he acted quickly and pretended to claim her by rape to buy time. They escaped soon after, with him following her to further the freedom of their kind.
Appearance: As a man he has dark skin and a broad jawline, his hair growing in strange auburn spikes that are similar to stripes. He has a tattoo on his stomach to mark his slavery, strange human runes that hold no meaning to him other than to note what was stolen from his people. In his animal form he is a common tiger.

Personality: Although he comes across as slightly pushing and hotheaded, it is not hard to determine the source of his frequent bouts of disrespect. He worries a great deal over the safety of their savior and places his 'mission' above all else. His loyalty to the queen is dependent upon her ability to free his kind - holding a romanticized version of life as a shifter in his mind, he has become fixated on this concept as the only possible source of happiness during his long years of servitude. While his intentions are noble he is a slightly unstable character, never fully understanding how to communicate his concern and always questioning the choices of alphas instead.
Heritage: His heritage is unknown, although it is certain that one of his parents at least was a tiger.
Mate: As focused as he is upon the freedom of shifters, he does not even have thought of taking a mate - females do not catch his eye, even if they are in heat.
Job: He is the main guardian of the queen and so sticks to her side as a shadow. It is hoped that as their battles continue he will become more stable and loyal to the queen, instead of being a crazed fanatic of the mission.
Diet: Meat is always preferred, with his favorite food being elephant calf.
House: He prefers no house, and will instead make due with any tree or stone to shield him. He is always on watch and will remain in the open as much as possible in order to better see his surroundings.
