	William Jackson grew up as a very pampared boy he got whatever he
wanted and never had to worry about anything he went to the finest school 
his parents could afford and was raised to learn that people aren't just
your friends there your tools, to be used at will for whatever you wanted,
William had many "friends" as he grew up but none were truely his friend.
	
	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.
