 * HistoryText            = Born in Luton sometime around 1966, Kevin Hawkins lived a bland life consisting primarily of cheap sex and bad food until one night when, in the wake of an especially embarassing date, he saw a poster advertising for the British Army. Assured that Britain was not at war with anybody in 1986, he signed up.

Stint in the British Army
Shortly after, Hawkins was stationed in Belfast, right in the thick of the Troubles, particularly the post-Anglo-Irish Agreement violence. Though he hated his time in Nortern Ireland, he liked being in the army, especially because he found that the unifrom attacted women. This got him into trouble, however, when he was caught in bed with a married woman named Marjorie. Her husband Derek turned out to be an officer in the army, and became Kevin's commanding officer six months later. He then proceeded to make Kevin's life so miserable that the then-lance-corporal applied for SAS selection, as it was the only way to escape Derek's wrath without leaving the army. Though Derek fully expected Hawkins to wash out and come crawling back, a combination of natural aptitude and sheer will enabled Kev to prevail. And thus he entered Black Ops Hell.

SAS
Kev's time in the black ops is not terribly well-documented, but it is known that in 1991, his unit was sent to Iraq to retrieve a sex tape involving Margaret Thatcher and Saddam Hussein, resulting in them being bombed by US forces. One of Kev's mates, Tiny, was subsequently captured and tortured, while Kev himself was not able to mount a rescue. He would later come to deeply regret this.

In June of 1993, Kevin and his mates were loaned out to the Indian government to help take out drug smugglers from Pakistan. During this operation, Kev was nearly trampled by a wounded elephant, but was saved thanks to the intervention of Danny Redburn, who killed the elephant with a grenade launcher. When Danny later discovered a baby tiger hidden among the seized drugs, commanding officer Joe Sykes ordered him to kill it, which he apparently did.

In 1994, Kevin, Tiny, Bob, and Mick were assigned to neutralize four men who threatened negotiations between PIRA and the loyalist paramilitaries. The job went swimmingly up until they attempted to capture target #3, PIRA security agent Joe Farrell, and found him tied up next to target #4, a UVF hitman named Stevie White. It transpired that Farrell and White had a hardcore porn distribution businesss, and Farrell's fellow "provies" wanted in on the money, and so had kidnapped the two men to try and force them to reveal the location of the money. Farrell refused to tell about the scheme, and thus Bob shot him. The house was besieged by provies, and White was killed. Unable to get ahold of their superiors, Kevin and his mates were forced to burn Farrell's house down and steal a car to escape. The mission was a success, but Tiny felt betrayed after learning that their superiors denied them any backup.

Sometime after, Joe Sykes and Nosh Bailey were killed by members of the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. Tiny was also involved in that mission and was forced to hide in a ditch beneath the bodies of his former commanding officers. Subsequently, Kev was promoted to the rank of Corporal. It was not a rank he would hold for long.

The Thing with the Tiger
In 1996, Kev was once again teamed with Danny Redburn when they were assigned to protect cabinet minister Roger Grivell during his inspection of the Regiment. Between Kev, Danny, Mad Cecil, and Wanky MacKenzie, the inspection itself was uneventful, but Grivell then demanded that Kev and his squadmates hire a prostitute for him, threatening to disband Kev's team if they refused. With no other recourse, Kev and Danny took the minister to Danny's house because it was out of the way, while Wanky and Cecil hired the prostitute. Though Danny was very unhappy with his house being used for prostitution, Kev felt sure that at least his job was safe - until paparazzi showed up at the house at the same time that Grivell managed to scare the prostitute away. The two events sent Kev scrambling to hide the minister, so he placed Grivell in the cellar of Danny's house... where there just happened to be a tiger. Shortly after, Kev learned that Danny had not killed the baby tiger he'd found three years earlier. He had kept it and raised it in England. He then informed Kev that he intended to take his tiger and leave the country. Too shell-shocked to do anything else, Kev helped Danny escape and took all the blame himself. Subsequently, he was transferred to MI5.
