= Biography =

Hawking is the lord of Salrath, one of few regions which had escaped the conquest of Dalsis. He is an old friend of King Illzach] and a close ally of the  Baldea Kingdom. Illzach sends his only child to seek the help of Hawking when Baldea lays siege to the capital.

He is first seen when it is reported that a group of pilgrims had been attacked by the Shika Tribe outside of his village. Without hesitation, Hawking gathers his men and goes to defend the pilgrims. Crying out "Vermin! Leave my land at once! I must protect our town to keep the peace!"

With his guard captain, Thorn, Hawking battles the Shika and help the traveling pilgrims.

He is surprised to find that with the pilgrims was Prince Ledin whom he has not seen for some time and asks the prince what brings him to Salrath. Ledin tells him the news of Dalsis' attack on Baldea. Hawking offers his help right away, but tells the prince, that it would be best to rest in Salarth for the night.

In the middle of the night, Salarth is again attacked by the Shika Tribe and Hawking again rallies his men. Hawking defends the western side of town while, Ledin, Volkoff, and Thorn defend the eastern side. After a tense battle they are able to drive out the Shika.

It's at this time that Narm shows up and gives the grave report that Baldea has fallen. Ledin is quick to leave, but before he leaves, Hawking presses that Ledin at least take some of his men with him. Ledin leaves, still underprepared and Hawking will send Thorn with more men to help Ledin who had entered Riggs Forest.

Eventually, Hawking gathers more forces and joins Ledin before he reaches the Twin Castle. He also offers Ledin a magical wand that he came across, which the prince gratefully accepts.

Hawking thus joins the main Baldean forces and is key commander in taking down Kaiser Digos. Afterwards, he continues to assist Baldea as they fight the forces of evil unleashed by Langrisser's broken seal.
