Captain Falcon is a champion racer in the F-Zero circuit in the 26th century. Little is known of his past, except that he is also a bounty hunter and that he hailed from Port Town, a famous intergalactic trade center. He constantly works to thwart the plots of the evil Black Shadow, both on and off the racing circuit. In the anime, he ultimately sacrificed himself to stop Black Shadow's escape, killing him for good.
