Falco Lombardi

Falco Lombardi is a blue-feathered pheasant or avian, and the ace pilot of the Star Fox team. Although the exact details on Falco's past are unknown, he himself was once the leader of a gang of space runaways known as Free-As-A-Bird. He was specifically recruited by Fox McCloud, who visited him multiple times and convinced him to join his mercenaries-for-hire team. Falco is one of Fox's best friends, and they have a friendly rivalry.
