They were known in their native lands as the 'shadow tigers'...the demon tigers of the night. That was okay though, as it helped to keep the curious and the poachers at bay.

The BlackClaw are led by Tigone Khan, a half-Simba/half-Khan black tiger, who is the son of the tribe's former leader. The tribe, attacked by a band of rogue vampires, was scattered across the lands and it was thought that the tribe was lost.

But...all was not lost. Many members of the tribe survived, and slowly, they began to find one another, and band together once again...these proud warriors of the Bastet. And as their numbers began to grow once again, so did their reputation begin to grow as well. The rebuilding of the buildings of the village was a long, arduous task...and there were many artifacts from their past that could never be replaced...but the tribe still lived. And that one fact gave them hope.

Tigone Khan, the new leader of the BlackClaws traveled frequently, and so left most of the admistration of the tribe to his mate and trusted friend, Shangreloo. Accustomed to administering a large household...though it had been many years since she had done so...the tribe started to flourish under the administration of Tigone and his mate Shangreloo, approaching being the force it once was.

In the meantime, the leader of the BlackClaw traveled the realms, hunting for treasure and any information he could find about the vampires who had killed his parents...and scattered his people.
