Falco was a member of various space gangs, including the [[Hot Rodders]] (along with good friend [[Katt Monroe]]) and was the head of another gang, named [[Free as a Bird]]. He later left his gang to help form the second Star Fox team on an invitation from an old friend of his, [[Fox McCloud]]. Being the ace pilot of the team, his flight skills are unmatched. He is a great fighter and asset to the team. He hails from the planet [[Corneria]] where he attended military academy with Fox and [[Bill Grey]]. While originally piloting an [[Arwing]], in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' his Arwing is personalized as the Sky Claw. | Falco was a member of various space gangs, including the [[Hot Rodders]] (along with good friend [[Katt Monroe]]) and was the head of another gang, named [[Free as a Bird]].

Falco is a blue-feathered avian with long blue tail feathers and red plumage around his blue eyes. His appearance was based off of a red throated caracara. He also has an athletic yet lanky build, and is shown to be taller than Fox, as seen in the Super Smash Bros. games and Star Fox: Assault. Falco's name comes from the name of the falcon genus. Although Falco is in appearance a bird, he seems to lack the ability to fly. | Falco is a blue-feathered avian with long blue tail feathers and red plumage around his blue eyes.

Falco is one of the most respected and skilled pilots of the Star Fox Team. His personality is often brash, overconfident and cocky and possesses an uncooperative attitude, though he is devoted to his wingmates. Falco has incredible nerves, and can accurately predict the tide of battle. He also tends to refer to his enemies as "prey," as shown in Star Fox Command, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Star Fox 64. He also prefers flying aircraft to other vehicles, as evidenced in the ending of the Aquas campaign in Star Fox 64, where he states that he would take the sky any day after the Blue-Marine managed to come through Aquas upon destroying Bacoon, as well as his activation quote when activating his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, "Personally, I prefer the air". Although overall during his career(s) on the Star Fox Team, he was significantly cocky, he has mellowed out over time. As the team's ace pilot, Falco is the best Arwing pilot in the team, making him very handy in battle. However, he has a tendency to not follow advice (he dislikes authority), and also likes to be late and appear at the last minute to save the day (as seen in the end of Adventures, and in several missions in Command). Falco often joins and leaves the Star Fox team throughout the series of games. After Star Fox 64, Falco leaves the team, returning at the end of Star Fox Adventures. Depending on the path in Star Fox Command, Falco may or may not leave Star Fox after joining, but he stays in the default ending. Ironically, in one of the Star Fox Command endings, Falco is the only original member to stay, even though he left the team several times throughout the story. Falco's personality is very similar to Han Solo from the Star Wars series. The Nintendo Power Official Player's Guide for Star Fox Assault even compared Falco with Solo. | Falco is one of the most respected and skilled pilots of the Star Fox Team.

Not much of Falco's early history is known. He was born on Corneria and attended the military academy, then left to take part in gangs such as the Hot Rodders gang along with Katt Monroe and Free as a Bird, of which he led. When Andross threatened the Lylat System for the second time, he recieved an invitation from Fox to help form a new Star Fox team, which he accepted. | Not much of Falco's early history is known.

Sometime after the events of Star Fox Zero, Falco left Star Fox to fly solo, due to both a lack of jobs and his restless nature. He ended up teaming up with Katt Monroe and her gang on [[Titania]] to investigate suspicious goings-on, and later teamed up with Fox to take down General Shears and his attempt to clone Andross. After this incident, he left both to wander the galaxy, and see where life took him.

After this incident, he left both to wander the galaxy, and see where life took him. Shortly after Andross's resurrection on [[Sauria]], Falco returned to save Fox during the final battle. Falco helped Fox by supplying him with [[Smart Bomb]]s during the battle. Falco returned to the [[Great Fox]] asked to rejoin the team, to which Fox agreed. When [[Krystal]] came aboard the ship and Fox showed obvious signs of his feeling, Falco said nothing, but silently encouraged him. | ||

Falco and Slippy | Falco and Slippy separated from Fox on Katina. There, they met up with an old ally, Bill Grey, and helped him fight off the Anglar in the area. Bill revealed that Krystal had become an icy killer. Falco insulted Fox for his stupidity when he heard this. Falco followed Fox when he issued the order to go to [[Titania]]. When they got there, Krystal quickly snapped at Slippy showing her colder self. Falco defended him for once and told her to calm down. Krystal then revealed important information about Andross's past and the team fought one of his old bioweapons to claim a device that would neutralize the acidity of the Venom Sea. The team quickly got to Venom and used the device to enter the Venom Sea. There, they stormed the Anglar's base and defeated the emperor for good. Together, Falco and Slippy helped Krystal forgive Fox and the team made their way to Aquas to meet Amanda. | ||

"''The Star Fox Team's avian member, Falco, is at home in the air or in space, and pilots his Arwing fighter like a true virtuoso. Falco may sometimes act hostile, but he's a good friend of Fox and most of his insults are meant to be good-natured ribbing. A lot of Falco's rebellious tendencies come from his time as a member of a group of "space hot-rodders." If he could curb his reckless tendencies and quick temper, he could mature into a better pilot than Fox.''" | |||
