Slasher Hawk is an Australian member of Black Chamber who was raised as an Aborigine. He is accompanied in battle by a hawk, revered as guardian deity in his tribe and his personal totem, which he found as an orphaned chick on a battlefield. In combat he weilds a pair of wilgis, massive steel boomeranges capable of cleaving a calf in two, attacking with both simultaneously using a technique inspired by juggling and Chinese martial arts.
Following his defeat at the hands of Solid Snake, he explains that he had been abandoned by his birth parents and was taken in by an Aborigine couple, who raised him as their own despite opposition from the village elders. He observered their customs and taboos in an attempt to gain acceptance, but when his parents died, was rejected by the tribe and forced to leave the village. After years of wandering the world as an outsider, he met Black Arts Viper and was recruited into Black Chamber. Before he dies, he tells Snake that funeral pyres are forbidden by his tribe and that his hawk will carry his soul home, wondering if he will at last be accepted by his people.
