'''Alan Hawker''' was a [[Bloodnamed]] warrior and [[saKhan of Clan Diamond Shark|saKhan]] of [[Clan Diamond Shark]] as of [[3072]].<ref name=MMp149>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', pp. 149–150: "Alan Hawker"</ref>

==History==
As a younger warrior, Alan had a reputation for being one of Clan Diamond Shark's most reckless members and his aggression and short temper, while a boon against his enemies, prevented him from making any career advances. Shortly after defeating [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] in a [[Trial of Possession]] on [[Strana Mechty]], Alan entered a [[Grand Melee]] for the right to win a [[Hawker (Bloodname)|Hawker]] Bloodname. During this contest, Alan's anger came within a hair's breadth of costing him victory and the newly-Bloodnamed officer began making a concerted effort to control his infamous temper as a result. These efforts ultimately paid off and Alan's newfound reputation for being both dependable and capable soon earned him the rank of [[Star Colonel]] and the position of aide to [[Khan of Clan Diamond Shark|Khan]] [[Barbara Sennet]] and executive officer of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)|Alpha Galaxy]] by [[3067]].<ref name=MMp149/><ref name=FMUp76/>

Alan served under Khan Sennet for several years and, while learning the finer points of command, earned the respect of many of the clan's [[Warrior Caste|warriors]] and [[Merchant Caste|merchants]]. Still, Alan's famous temper continued to factor into his dealings with [[Clan Wolf]] as he held a sizable grudge against them for their taking of [[Ian Hawker]]'s genetic legacy. While the exact date Alan replaced [[Angus Labov]] as saKhan was not known outside of the Sharks' leadership, it was believed that he gained the post at sometime in early 3072. Alan continued to prove himself as a talented warrior as saKhan but lacked the same economic skills as his predecessor.<ref name=MMp149/>

Following the [[Jihad]], Alan continued to hold the position of saKhan under [[Naomi Nagasawa]] and commanded the Shark's [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)|Beta Galaxy]] in a split deployment to [[Tukayyid]] and [[Nykvarn]] by [[3085]].<ref name=FM3085p124/>
