Street Fighter Alpha 3
T.Hawk is the greatest warrior of the proud
Thunderfoot tribe. Recently, many villagers have disappeared mysteriously.
Sensing something ominous, Hawk leaves the village. During Street Fighter
Alpha 3, he looked for Shadowloo to try to stop them from kidnapping his
tribe members. One of these members was the doll, Noembelu. It is
unconfirmed whether or not he actually found Noembelu, though. In the
game, this is portrayed as him looking for Juli instead, because Capcom was
too lazy to make another playable Doll (also the fact that Noembelu's
fighting style with those projectile hatchets looks like it might have been
hard to program) [Official].
Street Fighter 2
T. Hawk was probably one of the ones who got a personal
invitation to the SF2 tournament. T. Hawk participated in SF2 hoping to
bring down Bison once and for all. Eventually Akuma killed Bison and
Shadaloo collapsed. Now that Shadaloo is gone, T. Hawk's homeland is
finally free. But when he returns home, he finds to his dismay what Bison
has done to it. It is barren and lifeless. However, T. Hawk refuses to
give up. He promises to make his homeland great, again, and to rebuild it!

Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
Thunder Hawk is a member of the Thunderfoot tribe, as you can see from
his SFA3 description. His homeland is known as Thunderfoot, too.
Thunder Hawk's father was Arroio Hawk, who was killed thirty years ago
by M. Bison. This is also when Shadaloo begin to start booting T. Hawk's
people off their land.
Well, actually, his father's real name is supposed to be Arroyo Hawk,
but Capcom of America screwed up the translation -_- Arroyo is Mexican for
[water] stream or river, by the way.
According to the English version of SFA3, T. Hawk's father is the one
that told T. Hawk about Bison. T. Hawk still didn't know about Shadaloo
until SFA3, apparently, because in SFA3, he had to learn about it from
Charlie. This is assuming Capcom of USA didn't completely butcher that
translation. The thing is, though, T. Hawk was born in 1959, and Bison
killed T. Hawk's father 30 years before SFA3 (which would be 1960). Which
meant that T. Hawk's father died when T. Hawk was only one year old. Maybe
it's just me, but... I don't think a one year old would be able to remember
a name that his father told him Oo ...and why would a father talk to a
one-year old about his evil enemy, anyway? Strange strange Capcom.
The Doll that T. Hawk is supposed to be seeking out in SFA3 is
Noembelu, the Native American Doll, NOT Juli. Capcom made it Juli in the
game because they were too lazy to make another playable character. Blarg.
T. Hawk's relationship to the doll, Noembelu, is unknown, besides that
she's a member of his tribe. Because T. Hawk's father was killed by Bison
30 years ago, sixteen year old Noembelu can't be his sister. She's too
young to be his girlfriend. Odds are quite good that Noembelu was simply a
member of his tribe. Being a member of his tribe would be more than enough
to explain his quote that she had sacred blood running through her veins in
T. Hawk's ending, and also, T. Hawk's dialogue with Noembelu in SFA3
(remember, for T. Hawk, you should switch out Juli for Noembelu) doesn't
indicate anything beyond her being a member of his tribe. It's really
rather passive dialogue. Noembelu's real name is unknown (it's most likely
not Noembelu).
The specifics of what happened 30 years ago: his land/village/tribe
(whatever u wanna call it) was attacked by Shadaloo. Only Arroyo and 2
others survived. Afterwards, Bison murdered him while T. Hawk wasn't around.
I guess T. Hawk didn't witness his father's death. I don't know if those
2 survivors included T. Hawk (who again, was 1 year old at the time), either.
My guess is that since he was so young, it didn't include him. And thus
those two other survivors were probably Noembelu's parents.
Looking at that, I wouldn't be surprised if T. Hawk's prologue in SFA3
was wrongly translated and there was no village and no 'many' amount of people
that were dissappearing from it (IE, T. Hawk's tribe is pretty much all gone).
Because all portrayals of T. Hawk's land is that it's barren with no one but
T. Hawk left, and there wasn't a plural amount of people that he had
to save in SFA3. There was only one (Noembelu). So "many villagers"
dissappearing mysteriously can't really be right when there's only one shown
to have dissappeared and all indications are that there aren't even many
villagers in the first place to dissappear...
Did T. Hawk ever get to save Noembelu? Capcom hasn't stated, and I
find it doubtful, myself, since Cammy was the one to save all the Dolls,
most likely. Mainly, though, if T. Hawk really did find Noembelu, I'm
pretty sure he would have brought her up to Bison in SF2 Revival or
-something- would have referenced to her. The fact that T. Hawk is
portrayed as alone in his quest to rebuild his homeland, though, makes me
pretty sure that he never did get to find and rescue Noembelu, and that
Noembelu is most likely with the other Dolls transported off to who the
heck knows where. In addition to this, T. Hawk's SFA3 ending has him
returning to his homeland with Julia... erm, Noembelu, after defeating
Bison, but SF2 Revival shows that Shadaloo still has possession of his
homeland by SF2. All evidence seems to be against T. Hawk's SFA3 ending
happening in any way, shape, or form...
Thunder Hawk's SFA3 stage is located on the Monte Alban plains
(Mexico). In the SSF2 Hawk background we can actually read "Tehuantepec"
(which is near Monte Alban)
His SSF2 nickname is something like "The angry hero of Thunder". His
SFA3 nickname is something like "Proud high-flying saintly animal".
