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]].
