Personally, I prefer the air! — Falco Lombardi

”

Falco Lombardi is one of the main protagonists of the Star Fox series, the "ace pilot" of the team Star Fox and, due to his flying skills, the friendly rival of team leader Fox McCloud. He used to be the head of a gang, but bailed out to join the Star Fox team as Fox's second-in-command. Falco leaves the Star Fox team on occasions, and always reappears when needed. He has a very laid back but cocky attitude and is smart mouthed. Despite this, nothing gets in the way of Falco and Fox's friendship.

Falco made his first overall appearance in Act 1 - Desperado of the Star Fox Nintendo Power comic, and his first game appearance is in Star Fox.
