Falco hailed from the Free State of Texas, born to landowners collaborating with Biotechnica on farmland. Driving tractors at high speeds across fields ignited his racing passion, leading him to local stock car circuits where his exceptional talent and composure during risky maneuvers secured consistent victories. Seeking greater challenges, he entered professional racing, dominating with an unprecedented streak of over twelve consecutive wins. This success propelled him to Night City.
There, he tested himself in street racing against the world's most dangerous drivers on hazardous urban courses, no longer always winning but relishing the challenge. He competed against legends like Rearview and Jeremy Taylor, cementing his reputation as a top driver. During this period, he befriended Maine, occasionally joining him on gigs. His first paid job was a Rearview-orchestrated heist on an Orbital Air warehouse, the success granting him access to the Afterlife club where he became favored among mercenaries. The tension and satisfaction of gigs largely drew him away from racing, leaving only rare appearances like the Demons of Kabuki race as a special guest.
Falco occasionally served as a getaway driver for Maine's crew, maintaining professional distance while demonstrating loyalty. After Maine's death, he joined David Martinez's crew, stepping into a more prominent role as their primary driver. He transported crew members during missions, including operations for fixer Wakako Okada. He developed strong camaraderie with David, openly admitting initial skepticism about David's capabilities. His driving proved critical during high-stakes operations: intercepting an Arasaka convoy and the assault on Arasaka Tower to rescue Lucy. During the Tower mission, he provided cover for Rebecca against police and corporate forces using his Chevillon Emperor. Witnessing Rebecca's death at Adam Smasher's hands shattered his composure, driving him to attack Smasher in rage. Smasher swiftly incapacitated him, but he survived. Honoring a promise to David, he ensured Lucy's safe escape from Night City with the mission's reward money.
Following Arasaka Tower, Falco and Lucy parted ways after securing her safety. He collected mementos from deceased crew members—David's jacket, Rebecca's Masamune rifle, and other items—storing them in a Badlands unit near Night City. After a period of solitude processing his trauma, he returned to find former Valentino Dalton Estevan-Luis stealing the belongings. Dalton escaped on a motorcycle into Night City, where Falco, wanted, could not pursue. He hired fixer Dakota Smith to assemble edgerunners for recovery. While awaiting them, REO Meatwagon medics ambushed him; they tracked David's jacket via an embedded biomonitor containing valuable data on David's cyberware performance, sought by Arasaka. The hired edgerunners rescued Falco, who directed them to Dalton. After recovery, he met the crew at the Sunset Motel in the Badlands, reclaimed the belongings, reflected briefly on fallen comrades, stored the items in his Chevillon Emperor, paid the crew, and departed southward, leaving Night City permanently.
By 2077, Falco remained in contact with Night City fixers. When a mercenary called V discovered a braindance referencing David Martinez and inquired through fixer Muamar "El Capitan" Reyes, Falco initiated contact. He cautioned V against following David's path, stating his crew's "15 minutes were up." Despite reluctance to revisit the past, he acknowledged parallels between V and David, particularly their actions against Arasaka. As a final gesture, he gifted David's jacket to V.
Falco presented as an older man of average height and build, with semi-long dark brown hair and a thick, neatly groomed mustache featuring curled ends. His attire reflected a Western aesthetic: a multi-tone brown waistcoat with shoulder straps, a high-collared white shirt with the right sleeve rolled up to reveal a silver and black cyberarm, dark brown pants, light brown shoes, and a yellow ammo belt holstering a Techtonika Burya pistol. His Southern drawl emphasized his background. He drove a customized Chevillon Emperor, utilizing it as transportation and a tactical asset.
Personality-wise, Falco maintained a consistently composed and reliable demeanor as a driver, executing orders without question. While not overtly expressive, he demonstrated care through actions, like intervening when Maine assaulted Kiwi. His loyalty surfaced in crises, particularly when crew members were harmed, as seen in his rage after Rebecca's death. His commitment to promises defined him, most notably adhering to David's final request to ensure Lucy's escape. This sense of honor extended to dealings with fixers like Dakota Smith, whom he assisted with an REO Meatwagon ambulance to settle an old debt.
