Starhawk is an interesting case. As a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, They are actually made up of three beings, the cryptic strategist Stakar Ogord, the kind-hearted warrior Aleta Ogord, and the millennias old member of the Fraternity of Raptors, Kestrel.
There’s more info about them beneath the cut.
In this reality, Stakar and Aleta were childhood friends before an accident links the two, making it so only one of them can exist in the material plane while the other is trapped in a dimension of darkness known as the Null Space. Over the course of the next 200 years, the two would get married and manage to split up long enough to have a family.
In their present, Stakar and Aleta are divorced after the death of their children. Aleta hates Stakar for his cold exterior and manipulative nature. Stakar still holds some affection for Aleta, but knows that she will never love him again. Once Kestrel fully wakes up, he hates both of them due them stopping him from fully taking over and fulfilling his purpose.
