Stephen Hawkins, aka Stevo the Hawk, is an American-born descendant of Jack Hawkins, the famous English pirate. His country of birth is one explanation given for his accent, although some biographers argue that his accent is actually an attempt to conceal his D2 connections, having lived for a period in one of the old family seats, Hawkins House in Hawkins Street.
A one-time school-mate of Bill Cullen's, Stevo's post school retail career in the fresh fruit buisness was terminated when Bill allegedly ended their business relationship by uttering for the first time the immortal words "Stevo, you're fired".
In a later attempt at reconciliation, Bill offered Stevo the Renault concession for North America, but in a brilliant move, typical of his later inspired business decisions, Stevo responded, "Stick it Bill, the Yanks and Canadians have enough of their own crap cars to buy; there's no room for any more junkers in this market".
A brilliant salesman, Stevo went on earn a staggering fortune selling coals to Newcastle and snow to Eskimos, but later divesified into the oiginal family business, the root of his real riches, by illegally duplicating software and entertainment DVD's.
Stevo now resides in variety of locations (aka safe-houses) and is on top of the popularity charts with organisations such as Interpol, FACT and FAST.
I'm amazed no-one knew this.
