Keigo Takami, publicly known as the hero Hawks, emerged from a difficult Fukuoka childhood. Parental neglect and abuse defined his early years, with a fugitive murderer father confining him indoors. Heroes glimpsed on television seemed unreal until Endeavor arrested his father, proving their existence. Homeless afterward, his mother dismissed the usefulness of his wings, spurring him to use his Quirk to save lives during a car accident. This act attracted the Hero Public Safety Commission. They separated him from his mother, provided her financial compensation, and subjected him to rigorous training under the codename "Hawks." Physically, Hawks possesses average height and a slim build, with ash-blond hair and distinctive golden-brown triangular eyes featuring bird-like markings. His most notable feature was his large red wings. His hero costume resembled an aviator uniform: a modified tan jacket, black gloves, and a blue or yellow visor. The Paranormal Liberation War left him severely injured by Dabi, resulting in facial scars, diminished wings requiring prosthetic support, and temporary reliance on a respirator and text-to-speech technology. During the Final War, All For One permanently stole his Quirk, leaving him wingless and bearing new scars. Post-war, he adopted a formal black suit and carried a katana. Personality-wise, Hawks projects a deliberately carefree, jovial, and sarcastic exterior. He publicly values public approval as a hero's core metric and expresses a preference for lower ranks to avoid burdensome responsibilities. This masks exceptional emotional and logistical intelligence, strategic cunning, and a capacity for calculated deception. Trained by the Commission in infiltration and interpersonal manipulation, he maintains multiple personas: publicly approachable, privately cynical about hero formalities, and undercover as a villain sympathizer. Despite moral flexibility in missions, he retains a fundamental desire to create a safer society where heroes have "time to kill." His actions often stem from a selfless drive to protect civilians, though he struggles with guilt over collateral damage, such as Endeavor's injuries during the High-End Nomu incident. His Quirk, Fierce Wings, granted flight and telekinetic control over individual feathers. This enabled versatile applications: shaping feathers into blades for combat, detecting vibrations for espionage, and conducting multi-target rescue operations. Enhanced speed allowed travel at approximately 400 km/h. Drawbacks included reduced flight capability as feathers shed and a two-day regrowth period. After permanently losing his Quirk, he relied on physical weapons like katanas. Professionally, Hawks established his own agency in Kyushu at age 18, becoming the youngest Pro Hero in the Top 10 that year. He rose to No. 3 within four years and reached No. 2 after All Might's retirement. His early career included mentoring Fumikage Tokoyami at his agency, though he initially sought information on the League of Villains. The Commission later tasked him with infiltrating the League as a double agent. This led him to befriend Twice while covertly gathering intelligence for the Paranormal Liberation Front raid. The mission forced morally ambiguous choices, including betraying Twice to prevent his Quirk's misuse, an act that haunted him. Key relationships define his arc. Endeavor served as his lifelong idol; Hawks supported Endeavor's leadership post-All Might despite public exposure of Endeavor's past abuses. His bond with Tokoyami evolved from instrumental to genuine mentorship, encouraging Tokoyami's aerial combat skills. The friendship with Twice, though born of manipulation, developed mutual respect, making Twice's death a profound regret. As the war concluded, Hawks reconciled with former adversaries, pardoning Lady Nagant and offering Endeavor post-retirement support. Post-Final War, Hawks accepted the permanent loss of his Quirk and became president of the Hero Public Safety Commission. He reformed hero rankings to acknowledge collective efforts over individual glory, reflecting his belief in societal unity. He advocated for systemic changes to reduce hero burdens, fulfilling his vision of a world where heroes and civilians collaborate for peace. Eight years later, this ethos contributed to a stabilized society.
