Despite only being seven years old, his species only lives to be 16, making him older than he actually seems. He's enthusiastic and gets along well with his other pilots, but harbors resentment against those that make fun of his running. He is apparently motivated solely by the prize money.

One of his ancestors was the first monkey (of his species) to enter space and was a trained rocket pilot. His species seems to not be specially intelligent, since he himself was trained in a laboratory in linguistic skills and eventually to enter the F-Zero races.
