Bio: There isn't a Sith alive who doesn't know the name Grey Hawk, and a large portion of them can't help but feel dread when they hear the name. To any practitioner of the Darkside arts, he is truly a man to fear; he is, literally, walking Death for any Sith Lord or Dark Jedi. In just a few short years, this young, shadowy, wraith-like and highly skilled killer has become the Boogey Man for all those who serve the Dark Side of the Force, and most fear the day they have to face him, for it is a sure bet that they will fall under his ruthless grey blade.
Grey Hawk is a very disturbed soul. He's the son of a Ranyan Jedi Knight named Vin Cybas. Vin was known to be a very skilled fighter, but was also very philosophical, and constantly questioned the morality of combat. He also had some knowledge of many Jedi and Sith fighting arts, though he trained specifically in the Jedi ones, only researching the Sith ones to have a better knowledge of his opponents.
His son, while close to his father, wasn't very serious in his Jedi training. He thought that since the Sith were weakened since the war, and that the Jedi were now very strong in the universe, that there was no real reason to fear them, or rush into his training. Why be so serious? He'd rather show off while practicing, or try to impress people nearby, particularly the girls.
But one day, his father was ruthlessly killed before his eyes by a Sith Lord. Devastated and full of rage and anguish, he tried to avenge his father's death, but the boy just wasn't skilled enough. Scarring the youth's face, the Sith Lord laughed and walked off, commenting that he was even weaker than his already useless father.
Not being able to avenge his father, and being unable to retaliate when he and his father were insulted, mocked, and degraded, the boy snapped. It drove him into a deep obssession: to be able to destroy this Sith Lord, no matter what. He began training in earnest on all the Jedi combat arts his father had recorded. As he trained, the son soon formulated a theory: the reason his father perished in battle was because the Jedi arts, at least the Jedi arts he was exposed to, weren't practical for heavy fighting. Consequently, he began to train in the Sith fighting arts documented in his father's archives, as well as various combat and assasination techniques. Day after day, his dark obsession to kill grew stronger and stronger.
By the time he felt he was ready, he had transformed from an average boy into a cold hearted killing machine, with an intense hatred for his father's killer... and, for that matter, all Sith.
Having learned the ways of tracking well, he easily hunted the Sith lord down. His quarry was surprised to seem him, and a feeling of dread ran down his spine as sensed what the young man before him had become. After a frightening display of lightsabre and martial skills, he took the Sith's head. His quest for vengence was over. To his shock, the young man found that he actually craved the hunt and eventual kill of a Sith Lord... and he wanted more.
From that point on, he named himself the Grey Hawk, and put himself on a new dark path: to hunt down and kill all Sith. His mission was not to rid the universe of them, but to satisfy his lust for the hunt. He was now a living predator that all Sith soon came to fear....
Interestingly, he actually sells his services; after all, he has to make a living. Unlike any other killer for hire, however, he will only go after Sith and other darksiders. So far, he always delivers, each time proving his success with the target's head. He's so obsessed with his "calling" that if he finds out that there is anyone else after his target, he will slay that person before they deprive him of his kill.
The young bounty hunter named Jonah and the Jedi Knight named Sah'ar Suntoucher have both bumped into this character in the past. Needless to say, they don't like him. He, however, has some respect for them; because of their skills, he considers them on his level. Jonah is the ONLY bounty hunter to ever have survived going after the same target as Grey Hawk.
Grey Hawk is still out there, roaming the universe, possibly on the hunt for his next kill. His uncanny skills and relentless and obsessive pursuit of his Sith victims has begun to elevate him to the realm of legend. Others, including a few bounty hunters, consider him something of a psychopath. Some don't even think he exists. Whether legendary or not however, rumors of his existance are proof that there are darker things out there than the Darkside.
