Torsten Soldat is a German-American tiger who also has a career in the U.S. Army. Here's the bio on him:

Torsten Soldat Bio

Species: Bengal tiger
Alternate name: none
Age immortalized: 35
Occupation: Soldier in the US Army
Original hometown: Berlin, Germany
Current hometown: Wildcat City, Kansas, USA
Clothing: Green army camouflaged uniform with matching helmet; alternate Army dress uniforms; sometimes a gray t-shirt with the word "ARMY" in black letters, camo pants, and army boots. Sometimes he will wear a proper green marching band uniform with green shako (parade hat) and white plume. His shako has a silver paw print on it.
Background bio info: Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Torsten moved to the USA and joined the US Army, making a career out of it. He does not, however, serve in the same unit Super Slash did. He is very muscular, thanks to some serious weightlifting, which led him, like other buff furries, to worry a bit when learning about Zanta's traumatic experiences with superheroes and/or bodybuilders. He has mad professional skills with the rifle and other military weapons, and he has been at risk for PTSD even though he's never developed it. The fact he plays a rope-tensioned snare drum (amongst other percussion instruments) is to honor and uphold the family tradition; similar to Leo the Patriotic Lion, he has a family history of males that served as drummers. His drum, therefore, has been employed in cases where he and his troops go on a 50-mile hike.

Torsten met Leo the Tiger and Blue (the human protagonist of light; human because Cripto is also a hero in the light category serving the D-19) while in a part of Wildcat City known as Fife-Eiche Forest. This was during Blue's first visit to Wildcat City. When Leo the Tiger added in his Booming Snare, the three were said to do a modern recreation of the famous "Spirit of '76" painting.

Torsten can speak English, German, and a tiny bit of Dutch.

Superpowers: Super strength
Arch-nemesis: terrorists in all forms
Personal quote: "A good soldier is always prepared. And I hear the beats of a snare drum, it encourages me to march on and do what's right for the people."
Catchphrases: "ATTENTION!" (or variations "ATTEN-HUT!," "TEN-HUT!") and other various military commands
