HISTORICAL INFORMATION
While working a brief stint as a scrapper on Jakku, Avel Som encountered an unusually intelligent ebon hawk. The hawk was actual a semi-sentient Force User that could sense Avel Som's own connection to the Force, something he didn't even know he had. Avel Som was asocial and didn't really like to be around other people, which encouraged the hawk to approach him. Avel Som was also naturally gifted in interacting with animals, so the two formed a bond, with the hawk communicating with Avel Som telepathically. Because of the hawk's dark feathers, Avel Som named him Darkwing. Avel Som and Darkwing eventually left Jakku and travelled to Rishi, where they trained together in the use of the Force, Darkwing having an obvious knack for wind and lightning based abilities.
