Fox is the son of James McCloud, renowned pilot and leader of the original Star Fox team, and an unnamed mother. It is unknown what happened to the mother, but James is shown raising a very young fox by himself. Wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, Fox joins a pilot's academy as a teenager. Around this time, team Star Fox is hired to investigate the planet [[Venom]] after rumors of Andross returning. However, team member {{s|lylatwiki|Pigma Dengar}} betrayed the team, and James was presumed killed by Andross. The final member, [[Peppy Hare]], managed to escape to warn the galaxy about Andross and tell Fox that his father is gone. Seeking to avenge his father, Fox formed a new Star Fox team, which consisted of Peppy, [[Falco Lombardi]], and [[Slippy Toad]]. Fox would led his team through the Lylat System to save it from the evil [[Andross]]. At the end of ''Star Fox 64'' (''Lylat Wars'' in PAL regions), a retelling of the original Star Fox, Fox independently fought and killed Andross at the end of the adventure. | ||

By the events of ''Star Fox Command'', the team had fallen apart and unoffically disbanded. However, the Anglar empire invades the Lylat system and Fox has to get whoever he can to help him fight the empire off. Depending on the actions of the player throught the game, Fox will either go against the army alone, team up with one or more of his former teammates, look for Wolf and team up with him, get back together with Krystal and have a child with her, drive Krystal away again, or abandon his former life and become a G-Zero racer instead. | |||
Fox has been compared to Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars franchise several times, including Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Assault''. Fox is often depicted as outspoken and righteous in his actions, putting the wellbeing of the innocent above all else. Nothing will get in his way of completing the mission, even if it means fighting. Fox likes to be in control of the situation at all times and becomes uncomfortable to the point of complaining when things don't go his way. This can be seen in ''Adventures'' where he expresses disappointment when General Pepper forbids him from bringing a blaster to a mission. Despite his reputation as a confident leader, Fox does have secret insecurities about not living up to his father. Still, he managed to save the galaxy several times and learned to trust himself over time. | Fox has been compared to Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars franchise several times, including Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Assault''.
