Falco Lombardi

AFFILIATION Star Fox ROLE Ace pilot AGE 19

INTEL The newest addition to the Star Fox roster, Falco Lombardi has no formal flight training and yet has exhibited an extremely high level of skill in numerous combat situations. He is also the former leader of a gang that goes by the name "Free as a Bird."

Prior to joining Star Fox, Falco had begun gaining some notoriety throughout the system for his piloting skills. According to reports, that's when he was approached by Fox McCloud (leader of Star Fox V2). Fox is said to have challenged Falco to a contest of speed and skill—a contest that Falco won all while flying an Arwing for the first time. Falco's skills in the cockpit—if not his brash attitude—appear to have led the Star Fox team to conclude that he would be a valuable addition to their ranks.

Covert observation of the team's development since that time indicates a significant rivalry has taken root between Falco and Fox. As of this writing, it is impossible to predict with any confidence whether this rivalry will strengthen the team or prove its undoing.

ASSESSMENT Brazenly confident and competitive sometimes to the point of recklessness, Falco has a strong dislike for authority. His abrasive and self-aggrandizing behavior keeps others at a distance, but prolonged observation indicates he has a loyal and even compassionate streak.
