“Star Wars” has revealed the canonical image of the main character of Star Wars: Zero Company

Star Wars: Zero Company from Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment allows players to command a small secret unit dedicated to carrying out secret missions during the Clone Wars. The main character is Hawks, the leader of Zero Company, and the only operator who cannot die in the plot.

In the game, Hawks is a customizable character, meaning players can choose his race, gender, name, face, voice, clothing, and combat specialization. This freedom of choice opens up many storytelling possibilities, but the Star Wars Databank, the official online encyclopedia ofStar Warsconfirms that Hawks is male.

Hawks is depicted as a bearded man wearing a dark leather coat over a green high-collared shirt. This image was used in the introductory video ofZero Companybefore character creation began.

The official description of Hawks in the database uses the same short biography as in the game's marketing materials. It is noted that he was a former captain in the Grand Army of the Republic, dismissed after the defeat by the Separatists.

In an interview with IGN Director of Star Wars: Zero CompanyGreg Fertsch said that "Hawks can be anything you want," giving fans the opportunity to showcase:

Hawks can be anyone. You can make Hawks a Twi'lek or a Zabrak, a man, a woman... He has to be what you want him to be as a player.

Why Hawks is the most important character in Star Wars: Zero Company

In the game, the hero is clearly presented as the most important character. His backstory proves that he is more than just an officer assembling a team for high-stakes excursions.He is the only operative who cannot die permanently during missions, while all the others are expendable.

As a Republic captain in the 100th Clone Company, Hawks was an established soldier who was removed from service. This happened after he took the blame for a failed mission. His noble act defined him and pushed him to continue to act.

After leaving the army, Hawks' life changed a lot. Debts to the Hutts, work for Republic intelligence and the habit of hiring anyone to carry out tasks, regardless of origin, became part of his new life.
