Katar Hol (Hawkman)

Carter Hall DCWW

"*A shame, traitor, I would've loved to see you publicly executed back home." -* Katar Hol

## History

### Thanagar Life

Hawkman was born on Thanagar to his father Paran Katar and an unknown mother, the former had invented a miraculous anti-gravitational technology with Nth metal, that his world used to fly, this, along with his father’s stories about a supposed hero named “Kalmoran”, convinced Katar to join the Thanagarian police force as an adult, after multiple years of services on the planet.

### Hardcore Station

A few years after his induction into the Wingmen of Thanagar, Katar was sent ahead on a scouting operation in a nearby satellite; Hardcore Station

Formerly used as a base of operations for mining on a neighbouring asteroid belt, the satellite became a population and trade centre, however, it was known for it’s dubious dealings and it’s heavy corruption.

The purpose of Katar’s visit was to investigative team the operations of the Eternal Light Corporation, a business, but also a church, the clear nature of it’s beliefs are still very much unknown. The group is led by a pale-skinned priest named "Deacon Dark"

On the satellite, Katar met Maximillion Deville, aka Chief Justice Max, the satellite’s municipal Head of Security, and Adam Blake, aka Captain Comet, a telepath and mercenary who worked with the aforementioned department to crack down on the Eternal Light.

His operation was not of much success, the secret nature of the Corporation was hard to crack through and, after only 2 weeks of attempted operating, he was called back to Thanagar with very little information, Katar Hol’s very first foreign mission was a failure

### Down To Earth

Katar was sent down to Earth to capture Byth, a criminal from Thanagar, who possessed shapeshifting abilities, with the Thanagarian government taking more interest in Earth however, Katar was told to stay out as a way to study Earth tactics

Based in St. Roch, Katar continued his activities, becoming known as Hawkman, battling the likes of Shadow Thief to protect the city from crime and forming a friendship with it’s police commissioner, George Emmett (sort of like his own Commissioner Gordon), who is one of the few person with knowledge of Katar’s secret identity.

Initially more indifferent of the planet, seeing it as just the place of his operations, Earth has become his second home, with Carter being more than glad to defend it, despite this, he keeps his strong ties to Thanagar, regularly communicating with and going back to the planet to attempt and solve it’s glaring issues, there, his main enemies are the Seven Hell Fanatics of Thanagar, who, should they take power, would ignite wars with Thanagar’s neighbors in the name of their lord Synn
