Major Matthew 'Hawk' Masterson

Matt is the father figure of the group, being it's oldest member. He is the only one amongst the team to have real war time experience - he was a combat pilot. Often, he acts as surrogate father to Jon, listening and advising him.This close relationship is probably due to two things: firstly, Matt was Stuart Power's best friend and so sees himself as Jon's guardian/surrogate father upon the death of Stuart Power at the hands of Dread. Secondly, Matt lost his own son, Mitch, during the war with Dread, and in many ways, Jon fills in for the son he lost.[See Pariah]

Hawk gets along famously with Tank, perhaps the only team member who seems close to his own age. The two get along well despite their constant snipes at each other.

Hawk's Power Suit makes him a miniature air complement - besides being able to fly, his suit is equiped with air to air and surface to air projectiles. His usual job is to provide air cover for ground operations or to foil attempts by Soaron to attack the Jumpship.

For reasons never comprehensible, Hawk's blaster is bigger than everybody elses, except Tank of course!
