Fictional biography
No member of the War Hawk has struggled with a sense of identity quite like War Hawk. It's been millennia since he replaced him name with that of one of the few airborne RoBots - so insecure was he that he refused to share the air with an enemy, choosing instead to disgrace his opposite number and try to adopt a new identity for himself.
