Fox McCloud is an anthropomorphic red fox and the main protagonist of the Star Foxseries. He is sometimes referred to by the name of Star Fox, especially by his many enemies. He is additionally an expert Arwing pilot, combatant, adventurer and the leader of the Star Fox team. Fox is the only son of James McCloud, who educated him throughout his childhood to never give up, with a keen interest from James's best friend Peppy Hare. When Fox was a cadet at the Cornerian Defense Army Academy, he heard the news that his father, James, had met a violent end at the hands of the twisted genius, Andross, his archenemy. The senior McCloud had been betrayed by his own wingman, Pigma Dengar (who soon became a member of the Star Wolf team) and delivered into a deadly trap from which there was seemingly no escape. Only James's wingman, Peppy Hare, managed escape with his life in his badly damaged fighter as the only survivor of the original Star Fox Team to inform Fox of what happened to his father. As per James's last wishes, Peppy insisted that the young Fox should take on the leadership of the group and form a new team of pilots. Thrust into the leadership role that he wasn't prepared for, Fox recruited the hot-tempered Falco Lombardi and the mechanical genius Slippy Toad to make up the new Star Fox Team. For a price, this crack group will fight against any threat to the Cornerian star system. Although it may appear that the Star Fox Team is motivated only by financial gain, Fox and the rest of the team will only accept missions that serve to uphold justice.
Biography[]
Fox was born on Papetoon, but raised on Corneria by his father James, and a family friend, Peppy, who both always taught Fox to never give up and trust his instincts. He exhibited exceptional aerial skills and even ground-based combat skills at a young age and joined the Cornerian Flight Academy along with his friends Slippy Toad, Bill Grey and possibly Falco Lombardi.
Five years after the evil mad scientist Andross was arrested, tried for treason and exiled to the outlandish planet Venom, General Pepper had received worrying reports from Corneria's observation station about signs of bio-weaponry activity, and sent James McCloud and his Star Fox team on a recon mission on Venom to investigate, but James and Peppy were betrayed by their fellow pilot Pigma and gave them to his new master, Andross. Peppy soon barely managed to escape captivity, but James was never seen again and was presumed to have been killed by Andross, with apparent rumored assistance from Wolf O'Donnell.
Peppy returned from the incident as the sole survivor to apprise Fox of his father's fate. After the failed mission, the Star Fox team was disbanded. Emotionally apprehended by the bad news, Fox dropped out of the Academy in order to avenge his father's death, but couldn't bring himself to believe that his father was truly gone. Peppy took Fox under his wing and became his mentor. Together, they composed a new Star Fox team two years later, and Fox recruited Falco and Slippy to the team, inheriting his father's Great Fox, ROB 64 and the great financial debt. Even though Peppy was older than all the other Star Fox Team members, he declined the leadership role and insisted that the younger Fox McCloud take over the team after Fox's father, James McCloud apparently made this his last wish. Feeling guilty about sending James to his doom, General Pepper also took it upon himself to manage Fox's future career. Fox knew that Bill would join Star Fox if he was asked to but didn't want to pull Bill into this troubles.
