Tiger-Monkey was the alias of an independent investigator based in the Fire Nation who operated freely and worked for those who paid him, or those he deemed worthy. He was asked by nobles who bought into Fire Lord Sozin's xenophobic propaganda to investigate the Fire Nation Capital's Air Nomads.Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game.

== History ==
When Princess Zeisan announced her marriage to Monk Khandro, a coalition of nobles who bought into Sozin's propaganda campaigns hired Tiger-Monkey to investigate the Guiding Wind,Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. An Urgent Request, Version 1.0, 2023, p. 10. and would ask him to bring evidence if the Air Nomads were working against the throne. Knowing there was a lot of noise concerning the Air Nomads between Zeisan's teachings and the Fire Lord's propaganda, with both Zeisan's teachings and Sozin's propaganda, he wanted to determine the truth of the Air Nomads, and in particular the Guiding Wind.
The investigator began keeping tabs on anyone associated with the Guiding Wind, including Sister Rioshon. The nobles knew that Zeisan once trained with Rioshon, and encouraged Tiger-Monkey to look in on her and any relationship she might have with the Guiding Wind. During the pre-wedding festivities, Rioshon was being treated as a guest of the royal family. Tiger-Monkey observed her, though not nearly as much as the Fire Nation soldiers set to watch her by the Fire Lord. In time, Tiger-Monkey saw Rioshon's circumspect behavior as evidence she was up to something, though in fact it was merely her response to being monitored by Sozin's soldiers. He also grew suspicious of her contacts, Nyanchi, Boin, Ezra, and Zeebee, and began following them. The fact that they were rushing through the city before Princess Zeisan's pre-wedding symposium raised his suspicions that Guiding Wind sympathizers were plotting against the princess or the Fire Lord.
