[edit] Story
When he was an infant, he and the members of his tribe were being forced off their land by Shadaloo. Some of the Thunderfoot members fought against them and many were killed, including Arroyo Hawk (T. Hawk's father), who was slain by a younger M. Bison. Now living in Mexico near the Monte Albán plains, T. Hawk wants nothing more than revenge from Bison for his despicable actions and to reclaim the land that was taken from his people.
When the Thunderfoot tribe started experiencing disappearances of many of their people, T. Hawk took the responsibility of finding them. One of them became Noembelu, one of Bison's brainwashed dolls. He found Noembelu, but it is not known if she returned home with him or regained any memories she lost as a doll. It is also unknown whether T. Hawk found anyone else in his tribe, but he may have, due to his change in focus afterwards.
In Super Street Fighter II, T. Hawk entered the second World Warrior tournament to battle against Bison to reclaim his people's lands, and win their freedom from his tyranny. He did not come out the big winner, but T. Hawk did regain his land - however, it is desolate and empty. Determined, T. Hawk vowed to make his land as great as it once was and bring the Thunderfoot people back home.
[edit] Abilities
He is the equal of Zangief in strength, but uses more finesse in his attacks. Though large, he can defeat many smaller, more agile fighters with his devastating Rising Hawk, Diving Hawk, and Mexican Typhoon (a.k.a. Storm Hammer) techniques. Unlike most bulky warriors, he does not like to grapple, but he can when necessary.
[edit] In Other Media
T. Hawk makes a small appearance in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, having travelled to Washington to find and challenge Ken Masters. He proves to be a formidable opponent in the ensuing street fight, but Ken overpowers him and defeats him with a Shoryuken, greatly weakening him. T. Hawk demands Ken finish him off with a Hadoken, but Ken refuses, instead leaving. At one point, T. Hawk admits that he intends to track down and battle Ryu, who defeated Sagat in the movie's prologue. It is unknown whether or not T. Hawk finds Ryu in the end.
