Origin [1000:808662]
Halcones' regime began after the Eonial Siege of Danthion. Before the battle, Tau leader Sydar was assassinated by Marcus, making Halcones Emperor of the Tau. During the course of the fighting, Arm Zilch dismantled Roboham, and after the battle he ejected Roboham's core into Dead Space. Roboham's downfall marked the loss of the final member of the three original councilmembers, and while unfortunate for the War Council, it gave Halcones a chance to quickly seize leadership.

Consorting with Czan [1000:808665]
General Halcones quickly determined that he was hardly qualified to lead the War Council. After three years of military losses and failed operations, nearly the entire council was ready to eject Halcones and a proposal was being written that called for his banishment.

Halcones was willing to go distances to prevent even the slightest demotion, and he formed a secret panel of shady War Council consultants to find him a way out of his predicament. Sigris Djochin, surrogate father of Bill Dawkins, came up with a successful plan. He suggested that Halcones make a deal with the Dark Gods. Halcones executed the rest of the panel and Sigris's whereabouts are unknown.

With the assistance of Sigris's butler, whose memory was wiped after these events, Halcones made contact with the God Worlds. He entered them and wandered until he came upon Czan's domain. Czan's servants awaited Halcones's arrival and brought him to the Dark Castle. Czan and Halcones deliberated for days before coming to a conclusion. They made a pact in which Czan would support Halcones with his Dark Powers, and Halcones would pave the way for Czan's invasion of the mortal world.
