Biography[]
On the Game Preserve[]
Falconer and his fellow clan members begin hunting human preys on the Game Preserve Planet. The Berserker, Falconer, and Tracker Predators first test their prey's sanity and emotion. The trio try to make a trap for the humans by killing Cuchillo and using him as bait to lure them, however they didn't fall for the trap.
Tracking Human Preys[]
Falconer, Tracker, and Berserker attack the humans, who had arrived at their Hunting Camp where trophies were kept as well as the Crucified Predator. They managed to kill Mombasa who is a member of human preys through traps. However, the rest of humans managed to escape the camp whilst under haphazard and insincere firing (most likely to be deliberate) from the Predator Trios. Meanwhile, Falconer sent his mechanical falcon to locate the fleeing humans, who had fallen into the river. Upon the falcon returning to Falconer at the camp, the three Super Predators de-cloaked. The Super Predators are later able to track the humans to inside Noland's hideout when Royce, firing explosive rounds from his Auto Assault-12, produced enough heat and sound to attract them. They attack, but in the process Tracker is killed along with Nikolai, and the humans managed to escape again. But they did manage to kill Stans.
The Duel[]
Falconer chased the humans closely behind. However, Hanzo decided to stop running to face the lone Predator while the remaining preys continue running. Hanzo used a katana to fight against Falconer, who was using his wristblade. Hanzo succeeded in inflicting a few blows but the Falconer proved too strong against him and managed to slash Hanzo across his back. In a smart maneuver, Hanzo lunged at the Falconer, sidestepping him and delivering a fatal blow, killing him, but he also impaled the human. The Predator fell to the ground dead, followed by Hanzo.
Personality[]
As detailed in his NECA figure description, Falconer possessed a fascination with technological engineering, leading him to create his own unique hunting tool that deviated from traditional Yautja methods of hunting prey — the Falcon. Still, he's not completely dismissive toward common Yautja's old tradition as he provided Hanzo a fair duel unlike his fellow Super Predators. It can be argued that he was merely toying with the Yakuza enforcer and assassin and savor his fear while fighting him however, which if that's the case, it proved to be a fatal mistake in Falconer Predator's part as they evenly matched in one-on-one duel.
