General Pepper was promoted to General of the Cornerian Army many years before the Lylat Wars. He was a close colleague to [[Andross|Dr. Andross]], but showed a great animosity towards him.<ref>"He was also a close colleague of General Pepper. But they were like oil and water. Their infighting was a precursor to war." — Krystal, ''Star Fox Command''</ref> When Andross's experiments got out of hand and killed many lives, Pepper had him exiled to the quarantine planet, [[Venom]]. Years later, when Andross began his climb to power, Pepper hired his old friend James and his team to check on Andross. The team was betrayed by member [[Pigma Dengar]], James was killed and Peppy barely escaped to tell the tale. Pepper always felt responsible for the event and began to take on a role in the life of James's son, [[Fox McCloud]].

Pepper once again contacted the Star Fox team about an attack on [[Fortuna]] by [[Oikonny]]. After Fox defeated Oikonny and an [[Aparoid]], Pepper told Fox that there was a distress signal coming from [[Katina]] and asked him to check it out. Later, after Fox had sent the Core Memory of an Aparoid to Pepper, he responded saying that they had located the [[Aparoid Homeworld]] with the information obtained. To Pepper's dismay, Star Fox member [[Krystal]] recieved a message from Sauria asking for help, and they were went there instead. During this time, Pepper's forces were overrun by Aparoids invading Corneria and Pepper sent a transmission to Star Fox, but was interrupted. When Star Fox next saw him, he had been infected by the Aparoids and fused to his flagship. Unlike Pigma, an earlier victim to the Aparoids, Pepper was able to fight back against the infection and, though his body was no longer under his control, he still controlled his mind and told Fox to shoot him down.<ref>"This is my final request...

After the defeat of the [[Aparoid Queen]], it was revealed by Fox that Pepper might be okay due to the destruction of all Aparoid cells.
