Biography
(It should be mentioned that most of the information involving his personal life or his past would not be known outside himself or a few select others. It is merely here for OoC context if ever needed. However, if it is an event as Azure Hawk, it may be known to others outside his circle!)
Pre-Millennium History
Jack was born in Cottonwood, Arizona in 1965. He was mostly raised by his mother, while his father worked most of the time in Phoenix as CEO of Edison Enterprises, though he made regular calls and always attempted to stay in their lives. At a young age, Jack became interested in the exploits of super heroes of the time. It became a mission for him to become a super hero himself one day, using that as a way to motivate himself through school. He convinced his mother to allow him to start taking karate classes, though these did not last long due to it being revealed the master was actually a fraud. After a few years, Jack would befriend a former kickboxer who moved into the town and actually convinced him to train him somewhat.
A few weeks after he turned fifteen, Cottonwood was shook by an event that would change his life forever. A biker gang from the South of the state occupied a bar and began to terrorize the city. With local police overwhelmed and the group all but occupying the city hall, Jack decided someone needed to step up, and he would be the one who did it. Taking inspiration from the heroes he idolized, he scrapped together a homemade costume and began to fight the gang as an unnamed vigilante. Thanks to his training, he was able to best them in fights even officers could not hope to win. Thanks to him, a good number of the gang was able to be thrown in prison due to their crimes, or was driven out of town disbanded. It was under this unnamed state he would continue to fight in Cottonwood, until finally after graduating High School he decided on a name for himself.
He would be known as Azure Hawk.
After high school, Jack took up college courses in economics and business. While he could easily just become a spoiled rich boy with his family, he felt a need to establish himself on his own if he could. Working two jobs, taking college courses, and his work as Azure Hawk was obviously draining him. In early 1984, Jack was hit by a tragedy that would thrust him into a whole new world. Both of his parents were killed in a freak plane crash, caused by a simple engine failure. In this same call he learned that due to a loophole in a contract his father had signed years before, he was now the CEO of Edison Enterprises. This doubled his resolve, vowing to not only take up the mantle left by his father, but also using it as a way to assist in his true passion, heroics. Over the years, he used funds and technology from the company to make himself a suit and gadgets to use in his adventures.
Years would pass, and Azure Hawk would soon start building quite a reputation within the local community. Soon enough, he was known statewide, and soon even in the nearby states. Oddly, tales of his heroics, and papers and news on them as well, would only be well known within the Rockies region. However, Edison Enterprises soon began to boom under Jack's leadership. Branches soon opened up in other cites with in Arizona, and soon enough within the region. Branches soon opened up within Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico, and the Azure Hawk soon started making appearances within those states. In 2005, he encountered a young Janet Ofrey on a mission of vengeance to take down a branch of the cartel that had attempted to take the lives of her whole family. He took her under his wing and she became the Emerald Osprey, and the two would become close allies in their efforts to fight crime.
In 2011, a branch of Edison Enterprises opened up within Millennium City, and Jack began overseeing operations over there, taking in the fact that the city seemed to be a mecca of heroes. Seeing this, he felt no need to don the Azure Hawk costume within the city.
2014 to Present
Personality
Jack is often quiet, plagued by an almost crippling social anxiety that he was never able to overcome from his childhood. This results in a rather recluse-like nature, with him only making public appearances once in a blue moon. This is not to say he is not friendly. He is able to function quite well when surrounded by close friends, or in very small groups, and often cracks jokes at his own expense. Even with his wealth, he is still most often going out of his way to avoid buying more lavish items when spending his money.
However, he load of confidence flows into him when he dons the Azure Hawk outfit. Able to hide himself, he is often able to speak with a many number of people without breaking down into a scared shell. He is rather flashy while in costume, yet never comes off as one who has an ego bigger than their body. He often expresses the words "golly" or "nare-do-well" despite him never actually using them at any point in his life while out of costume.
He is still unsure why this happens.

- Do you live in or around Arizona? Maybe you've heard of him or seen a news report about him or Emerald Osprey!
- Are you a fan of old school heroes, perhaps you may have heard his name in passing once!
- If you were in Arizona in the 90's, you may have watched an infamous PSA he did for a local TV station. The PSA covers "Drowning Safety."
- Said PSA mentioned in the last point has also become somewhat of a memed video online.
