When he was young, he and the members of his Thunderfoot tribe were being forced off their land by Shadaloo. Many of the members resisted and fought against them, and many were killed, including their leader, Arroyo Hawk was cowardly murdered by a young M. Bison.

The Thunderfoot tribe had also experienced disappearances of many of their people, T. Hawk took the responsibility of finding them. One of them, his beloved Julia, became Juli, one of Bison's brainwashed assassins known as The Dolls.
