second attempt at conquering the Lylat System would succeed, Andross hired Star Wolf to eliminate Star Fox. Wolf made his first canonical appearance in Star Fox 64 (1997). Like in Star Fox 2, he is the leader of Star Wolf, and his team is hired by Andross to kill Star Fox. Unlike in Star Fox 2, Wolf sports an eyepatch on his left eye instead of a large scar on his right eye, while Algy is replaced by Andrew Oikonny, Andross' nephew. Throughout the game, the player can battle Star Wolf up to two times, though there are three possible battles with them overall, depending on which routes are taken on the map.

As a result, the Cornerian Military placed a bounty for each member, with Wolf having the highest bounty set at $30,000. To avoid attention, Star Wolf set up a base on Fichina before seeking to simultaneously remove their bounties and improve their reputations. Soon after, Wolf recruited Krystal into Star Wolf, following her expulsion from Star Fox over Fox's fear of her losing her life while on the team, like his father James McCloud.
