Fox was born in a planet called Papetoon but raised in Corneria by his father James McCloud. His mother died to an illness. Peppy Hare was Fox's second father. Both James and Peppy trained Fox to become the most strongest leader and taught him to never give up on faith and trust his own instincts. After the death of his own father, his leadership was then passed down to Fox, making him the current leader of the Star Fox team, where he is also going up against his rival, Wolf O'Donnell.

The Star Fox team was called upon by General Pepper to stop Andross's empire and preserve the Lylat System. Fox led an incipient Star Fox team throughout the battles in the Lylat System, running into allies and enemies alike. His friendship with Bill Grey was revealed during one of these missions, and he went head-to-head with his rival Wolf O'Donnell of Star Wolf and others. Once Star Fox reached Venom, they fought through its defensive lines or Star Wolf all the way to Andross's base. Despite the protests of his team, Fox faced Andross alone. After Fox vanquished him, Andross self-destructed, inclined to take Fox with him. Fox screamed at his impending doom, thinking it was the end... but then Fox's father, James McCloud, appeared to guide him out of the base, while in the way out he verbalized the famous quote "Never give up, trust your instincts" and mentioned how vigorous Fox has become, determinately evanescent when prosperously exiting the base. Fox then left victorious as Andross' base exploded abaft him. They headed back to Corneria, where General Pepper offered to officially integrate Star Fox into the Cornerian army. With all due respect, Fox declined, stating that they preferred to do things their own way, while hearing a call from ROB that the Great Fox was ready to go and decreed that it was time for them to go too.

In the alternate timeline after the war against the Anglars, Fox plans to reunite with his love interest Krystal after getting a harsh relationship. He had planned to leave Fox and reconciled with her. The two are already married and they had a son named Marcus. Five years later, Fox was informed by Slippy about a powerful artifact that could dominate the whole universe and it is under the possession of his rival, Wolf O'Donnell, who plans to use it. Preventing it from happening, Fox leaves his home and steals the artifact discreetly. He requests his wife and son to pack up and leave for another planet. They boarded a ship and their escape was interrupted when Wolf attacked them.

Fox had no choice but to let Krystal and their son escape, leaving him to deal with Wolf. Fox locates them to Midgard through a portal. Krystal and Marcus managed to escape, but Fox was killed by Wolf in the process. Attempting to kill Krystal as well, Wolf threw a spear at them but missed and ended up killing their son Marcus instead.

After the war against the Anglar, this timeline is similar to the alternate timeline, where Fox and Krystal began a family. In this current timeline, Fox joined the Cornerian Brotherhood of Assassins that has recently been established by Cornerian leader, General Pepper. For months, he was given targets to assassinate, to prevent any more war from breaking out again in the Lylat system.
Sometime later, Fox was informed about the news of an upcoming Great Catastrophe that will occur within a few years. Not only it will happen in Corneria, but to everywhere in the Lylat System and in Earth. Fox leaves Corneria and the Lylat system and travels to Earth to visit an old friend he had once partnered. However, his ship was shot down when a Templar ship was chasing him. Luckily, Fox was able to jump to hyperspace and managed to land on Earth successfully. However, he did not reach his desired location but instead landed in the city of Tokyo.

Desperate to look for help, he stumbles upon Kō Risa and asked her for help. She assists him on finding an Assassin named Shimura Serizawa, who is in America. Thanks to her help, she booked him a flight to America to meet him. Fox found Shimura undergoing a simulation in his Animus HR-9. He wakes him up and offers him help as the Great Catastrophe will occur in the next few years.
