General Pepper

General Pepper is the Commander-in-chief of the Cornerian Defence Forces in the Star Fox series of video games. He is an anthropomorphic bloodhound dog.

It is believed by many fans of the Star Fox series that General Pepper's name is a play on The Beatles' song and album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Pepper's outfit resembles that worn by the Beatles on the cover of the album. A Star Fox comic spanning several issues of Nintendo Power in 1993 also once made the reference, though the print on the bass drum read "Sgt. Pepper's Happy Heart".

History

Shortly after taking office, General Pepper exiled the evil scientist, Andross, to the planet Venom for conducting dangerous experiments.

After Andross started building up forces, Pepper hired the Star Fox team, under the leadership of James McCloud, to investigate. That mission ended up being James McCloud's last, due to Pigma's betrayal.

A few years later, Pepper's forces were overrun by Andross. Pepper again hired Star Fox, but this time James's son Fox McCloud was at the helm of the unit. He also sent Fox to the planet Sauria in Star Fox Adventures to restore the Spellstones and Krazoa Spirits so that the planet wouldn't explode and send asteroids at its neighboring planets. Afterwards, Fox explains Andross's role in the crisis to the General.

Pepper was nearly killed in when his flagship was infected by Aparoids. At the General's own request, Fox McCloud destroyed the flagship, with the General still in it. At the last second, Peppy Hare flies in and catches the crashing ship in an Arwing, saving the General's life.
