Falco

The man on a never-ending voyage
Darling, I'm leaving, the distance keeps calling me on. Darling, come morning, I'll be gone

-The things Falco loves are #1 wandering this world alone and #2 his sister. Something that he often says to Peregrine, especially prior to becoming a father, is "Damn the queen, you are the reason I always come home". Their parents and their two younger brothers died shortly after they were both born, and Pere being the only family he has left means a lot to him.

-#3 is bugs, he can't stop eating them and gets a kick out of watching other wolves gag or grimace. Beatrice is not disgusted by this, but frequently has to fuss at him for eating her samples.

-He is a bit of a play boy, and has no trouble mingling with the ladies of The Baneful Court on the rare occasions he is home. He is genuine in his affections, but loves many. Not really the pair-bonding type. Falco has a very special and rare relationship with Beatrice, however. He looks up to her and respects her deeply, and always craves her company. "You're the one wolf I could give up my solitude for" "Yes, ok. Now let's see that dried horned beetle you brought for me to examine" (I love you too)

-Complicated unhealthy relationship with Delphine. He doesn't appreciate her cruelty, and is not afraid to stand up to her for someone else. Has gotten into a fight with her over her badmouthing his sister (she wanted his attention) and won despite it being grisly. Conflicted between hating her and enjoying their cat and mouse game. Is aware that she could be better/has a good side, but does not believe she will ever fully lean into it.

-Peregrine is terrified every time she she sees Delphine look Falco's way or vice versa "I'm terrified that one of these days they'll kill each other". Beatrice is indifferent "If he insists on playing with the nobles, that's between him and the Sovereign" (she feels he can fight his battles, though she refuses to ever watch them)

-Indifferent towards Sage, they acknowledge each other's existence and respect each other but do not interact

-While Falco takes a looser/distant approach to parenthood when it comes to the pups he has with his other lovers, he loves the pups he has with Beatrice with all of his heart. Something about seeing the combination of himself and the wolf who he respects the most in this world just draws him in, he is hopelessly devoted to them. He abhors the Queen for forcing Beatrice to reproduce because of the toll it causes her but he is always joyful about the prospect of them bearing children, which causes a lot of tensions. ("I bet you're quite happy about this." "How could I not be...I'm sorry that it had to be this way, but I never regret our pups" "You are selfish" "For loving our children?" "I never asked for this." "Neither did I, but since they must exist, I will love them and you should too" blah blah blah)

-Awhile his pups are young Falco only travels to biomes bordering the Deciduous forest, and mainly makes day trips or overnight trips rather than his week long adventures. He trains his pups and likes to tuck them in every night in his cave. On the rare occasions that Beatrice is home at the same time as Falco, she prefers to keep her distance from these moments of affection, but she likes to look in on them when she believes they are all asleep. Falco believes she loves the pups in her own way, though he also feels this may be wishful thinking.

-Falco is proud that all of the pups he has with Beatrice are either placed in The Baneful or The Watchers and checks in on them from time to time just to catch up, even after he resumes his usual adventures. Falco loves his and Beatrice's children. (yes, some of his pups born to other mothers do get daddy issues from this/feel hostile towards their half siblings who have Beatrice as their mother) ("At least I wasn't born to a freak who doesn't even love me" "My mother is NOT a freak")
