He was always fasinated with martial arts and has studied it since he was a boy and could watch all those Bruce Lee movies. He was exceptionally smart and was always at the top of his class he even got bumped up a level in highschool his sophmore year to juiner but he refused any more of a push because he didn't want to be out of place. He finished highschool and went on toHarvard and finished in three years, with all of his accomplishments in such a short time he was bound to have a long carrier ahead of him. Until one tragic day when he got a phone call his mother and father were on vacation in Italy when a terrorist thought that he could grab the worlds attention by killing the head of one of the leading arms companies. Unfortunately for william his father was that very person,his mom committed suicide the same day. William was left saddened and angry, he had the head of his fathers company make a division for research into experimental radiation and chemicals to enhance the human body, all of this was done without the governments knowledge of course. He had a few volunteers via black market contacts, and ran some experiments to give them super powers. Two of the subjects had terrible side effects and died as a result but one had gained a more powerful body and mind he was stronger then most men but test could not be concluded as to his total powers because he ran away. All the while the company was suffering from enmeshment and economic troubles. William decided to try it on himself he had the treatment and it was a success so far the only side effect he had was the ability to breath was lost and with it his taste and smell. He took some of the remaining money and equipment and had a powerful combat suit made along with some weapons he bought he was ready to purge the world of criminals those that are seen and those that back them. He devoted most of the remaining companies money to buy a small house and motorcycle, he had his hide out in the basement and was constantly making changes to his armor until it was just right from now on criminals would run when they saw ..... Raven. He started out slow busting local thugs and gang members to clean up his community, once that was accomplished he was known somewhat by the media for being a civil protector of the night the media dubbed him Night Hawk, but after just a year he backed off the streets so much and moved to real super criminals, now with some experience under his belt he was ready for some espionage missions his first target was a local mob, not very powerful but a threat none the less. After many successful strikes against the mob he was getting more recognized in the crime fighting rings and was offered many positions in respected companies, he has yet to choose his destination but is considering the USA governments offers but he would rather work for a private organization. Since his Adventuring began the company he owned fell, he was not to sad about that since it just stopped more guns from entering this already messed up world. Uncertain about his direction but knowing one thing werever he is he will be fighting for justice.
