A former associate of Andross, it was General Pepper who was responsible for the disgraced science officer's banishment and he has extensively worked had to protect Corneria and the entire Lylat System from the evil mad scientist's scheme. It was thanks to General Pepper having called for emergency aid from the Star Fox mercenaries-for-hire that the Cornerian Military were able to repel and defeat the Venomian invasion of Lylat. Following this successful retaliation, General Pepper praised efforts of the Star Fox Team, even going as far as personally offering Fox McCloud an official commission in the end of the war against Andross's Empire, but Fox politely refused it, insiting that they prefer to do things their own way. General Pepper continued to serve the Cornerian federation and protect the planet in later years by overseeing the successful prevention of Sauria's destruction and make a commanding stance against the Aparoid Invasion, but after Pepper had a close encounter with the Aparoid kind, he had to leave command of the military to the research director Beltino Toad. Even after the defeat of the Aparoids, Pepper grew progressively ill and was confined to his sickbed, and requested that his old comrade and friend Peppy Hare should take up his role of general during the attack of the Anglars. General Pepper typically appears in all Star Fox games, with only a small cameo in "Command", as well as comics and a major role in the "Star Fox Zero " promotional anime, as a supporting protagonist. He also appears as a background character in all Super Smash Bros. games, starting with "Melee".
