Falconer Predator - Explained (Predators)
395Falconer Predator - Explained (Predators)
Falconer was a Super Predator who Hunted Humans and other creatures for sport on the Game-Preserve Planet. He was one of Three members of a hunting party alongside Berserker and Tracker.
Falconer Stands 7 feet 5 inches tall, and has Green and Beige skin, with Brown dreadlocks; he wears Bronze coloured metal armour with a unique Bio-Mask, a singular long wrist blade and a metallic glove on his left arm where a Predator’s wrist-computer would normally be.
Falconer gets his name from his signature Drone which he uses to scout ahead and locate Prey, which after taking off and scanning the environment, will circle back and return to him and perch either on the Falconers glove, or on his shoulder armour.
It is probable that since these particualar Super Predators learn from their Prey, that at some point in the past, this Predator had abducted and hunted an actual Human Falconer, then taken inspiration from their hunting style.
It is unknown what Falconers facial structure looks like since he has not been witnessed removing his Bio-Mask, but seeing as he is a Super Predator like Berserker, it is most likely that he bears a similar resemblance, except with different coloured skin, and possibly less exaggerated features as he is not the dominant member of the clan, but this last part is purely speculative.
It is also speculated that Falconer was a Young-Blood and less experienced than his two comrades as he was slightly smaller in stature and lacked a Plasma-Caster unlike Berserker and Tracker and that he could have been a new member of the tribe and was out to prove himself.
Further evidence of this is that he doesn’t have any customised armour, with no bones or trophies decorating it. Whereas both his Allies have bones adorning their Bio-Masks and armour.
Although it could be argued he has no Plasma Caster simply because he has the Falcon Drone instead of one, and he simply chooses to keep his appearance more clean than the other two do.
Falconers role in the group seemed to be that of a scout, who would survey the area ahead to locate Prey as he has the mechanical Falcon and was later seen to pursue the survivors after Berserker was attacked by Stans and was healing his wounds.
Story
After abducting a group of some of the most dangerous Humans from across the Earth and dropping them via parachute down onto the Game Preserve Planet, Falconer was the Predator that located them thanks to his trademark Falcon Drone, just before they unleashed the Hell-Hounds on the Humans.
After this, when the Humans discovered the Super Predators camp and fled over a cliff and into a river, Falconer again used his Drone to re-establish visual contact on them allowing the Hunting Party to continue tracking their movements.
When the Predators caught up with the survivors once again, the Humans fought back, killing the Tracker Predator and injuring Berserker. While he healed his wounds, Berserker sent Falconer after them in pursuit. Using his vision mode on his Bio-Mask, Falconer picked up the trail and followed them, where one of the group, a man named Hanzo, a member of the Japanese Yakuza, stayed behind and turned to face Falconer one on one with a Katana he’d picked up earlier.
Instead of merely killing the man while unseen, Falconer chose to uncloak himself and drew his Wristblade, and proceded to fight Hanzo honourably.
Due to his incredible agility and strength and being a skilled close-quarters fighter, Falconer seemingly had the upper hand early on in the battle - drawing first blood; but after a couple more rounds, Hanzo managed to score a blow on the Falconers stomach.
But as Falconer went in to finish him off, Hanzo managed to side-step the attack, and landed a fatal blow, before being mortally wounded himself simultaneously, and both warriors fell.
