Who is Steel Hawk?

Arun Bahkti, the man who would become the Steel Hawk, was originally just a simple freedom fighter, attempting to combat the establishment in his native land alongside his wife, the mysterious Varna (who makes purple spandex look REAL nice). At any rate, his standard methods were apparently becoming less effective, so the man began looking for alternative ways to help his brethren. He decided to become a 'professional terrorist'. Assassinations, sabotage, and more became his claim to fame, and the man donated all of his profits (after arsenal maintenance, etc...) to his fellow freedom fighters back home - wherever that was; the specific country that Arun hails from has never been revealed. And, over time, the man got really, really good at what he did. Eventually, the man caught the gaze of the Club, a super-secret freelance arms dealer and terrorist organization (read: bad people), who wanted Arun to be one of their elite killers. The man liked this idea, since it paid a whole lot, and signed on with them on a sort of contract basis; in other words, he did his ordinary freedom fighter thing until the Club came to him with a job. One particular job involved another man in the Club,.
