Peppy Hare

AFFILIATION Star Fox ROLE Strategist AGE 41

INTEL A veteran combat pilot known for his sharp tactical analysis, Peppy Hare led a distinguished early career in the Corneria Defense Force. After leaving the service, Peppy's good friend—the renowned pilot James McCloud—invited him to be co-owner of a new independent flight squad known as Star Fox.

Despite Peppy's misgivings, James invited Pigma Dengar, a skilled engineer, to round out the Star Fox team. Peppy and Pigma reportedly clashed on numerous occasions. Despite this friction, the team earned a positive reputation. In the months leading up to the Lylat Wars, General Pepper dispatched the trio on a reconnaissance mission to the remote planet Venom. Peppy was the only member of the team to return.

Intel suggests that, following the devastating loss of James McCloud, Peppy sought to disband Star Fox but was forced to continue operating under the moniker to pay debts. More recently, James's son, Fox McCloud, has joined the team. Despite initial reservations, Peppy is believed to be mentoring the young pilot in his role as leader of the new Star Fox team.

ASSESSMENT Meticulous, steadfast, and loyal in the extreme. Though currently an independent contractor, Peppy remains deferential to the military chain of command. A husband and father in his own right, he is known to be something of a father figure to the current members of Star Fox and especially to James's son, Fox.
