Hawke
Hawke was born the son of an English gambler and a Powhatan mother. Reared with a
deep respect for nature and the delicate cycle of life, he took to the sea at age eleven to
see what the rest of the world looked like. Like his father, he was a risk-taker and like his
mother, fiercely loyal. He won his own ship at age nineteen in a game of chance.
When the Revolutionary War broke out, he became a blockade runner to aid his fellow
Americans. He died during the fighting when the woman he loved turned out to be a British
spy.
