Hawke Johnson

Hawke Johnson was one of the crew members of the Lucky Nova under Pike. He acted as an enforcer or intimidation for the crew. Hawke was fiercely loyal to Joseph Ichlen, and after his death his loyalty transferred to Pike. The reason for this is unknown, as he refuses to give details, but it is assumed that Joseph or perhaps even his father saved Hawke's life causing him to pledge a life debt to the family. Hawke was a quiet man, preferring to keep to himself and watch the sky as the ship flew. He does not display emotions, though if asked he says he has them. As Henry said about him once, "He has the best gambling face in the world." Hawke was the one true close combat fighter on the Nova, using no ranged weaponry whatsoever. Hawke wore a suit of incredibly powerful power armor into battle, which he claimed would cost more than the Nova. The truth of this is unknown, but the armor can easily survive most explosions intact. Hawke preferred to grab weapons from the environment to use in combat, though he sometimes brings a reaver into combat. Hawke dies near the end of the Raiders Saga during the battle with the Solaris, diving off the Nova as it flew over the legendary ship, fighting his way to the ship's engine and detonating it, blowing the Solaris in half.
