History:
Sir William Hawksworth was an adept big game hunter seeking his latest conquest in the depths of India when he stumbled upon a one of a kind artifact. Buried in the dirt he found the Chieftain Staff of the Tribe of the Elders. While he was admiring this golden relic he was suddenly attacked by a Bengal tiger. As Sir William struggled with the tiger, fending it off with the Chieftain Staff, the staff was struck by lightening. Instantly Sir William and the tiger became one.

As Sir William made his way back home he frightened everyone he came across. Everyone he sought out for help was stymied, having no idea how to change him back. No one could even help him figure out how the Chieftain Staff worked. He had no idea what to do, or how to proceed as this monstrosity, until opportunity came knocking.

One day in 1884 P.T. Barnum appeared at Sir William's door. Barnum offered Sir William the opportunity to travel with his "Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan & Hippodrome" as "The Incredible Tiger-Man." Sir William agreed, and enjoyed his new life entertaining the populace with feats of strength and agility until Barnum fell ill in 1890. Sir William was unsure what his future would hold, but once again opportunity came knocking.

John Magnus sought out The Incredible Tiger-Man with an offer to join the Cavalry and help to fend off the scourge of General Groule. Sir William jumped at the chance because, even though being an entertainer gave him great satisfaction, he knew that he couldn't turn down a chance to use his powers for the good of mankind.

Now part of the Cavalry, Sir William has permanently adopted "The Incredible Tiger-Man" persona and uses the Chieftain Staff that transformed him as a weapon to battle Groule's Fist.
