Tigerman was the main bodyguard for Princess Ardala when William "Buck" Rogers returned to Earth in 2491.

Tigerman was described by Kane as also being an eunuch (BR25: "Awakening").

He was temporarily assigned to one of Ardala's sisters, possibly in exchange for Pantherman (BR25: "Flight of the War Witch").

Notes

• Tigerman is loosely based on the Tiger Men from Mars from the 1930s comics, who themselves made an appearance in 1934's Buck Rogers in the 25th Century -- An Interplanetary Battle with the Tiger Men of Mars.
• As with the characters of Kane and Dr. Theopolis, Tigerman is portrayed by a different performer in the series.
• In "Flight of the War Witch, Part II," Ardala christens her new bodyguard as "Pantherman," suggesting that she names her bodyguards after Earth animals.
