#00: Deathborn
Machine: Dark Schneider

This mysterious pilot makes even Black Shadow, the evil emperor, shudder with fear. Since the huge accident four years ago, several F-Zero pilots have turned up missing--in all of the missing-persons investigations conducted by the Space Police, Deathborn was the primary suspect. Deathborn has died three times, but each time was brought back to life by exchanging his real body parts for mechanical ones. Though these procedures he has become essentially immortal. A device installed within his body allows him to travel freely through space, making it possible for him to mysteriously appear anywhere at any time. He banishes those he dislikes to the outer limits of space, where they become drifting vagabonds for all eternity. Deathborn is plotting to take over the universe--his plan is to obtain the ultimate power that would allow him to determine life and death on every star as he sees fit.

Just like its pilot, Deathborn, this machine is surrounded by a mysterious veil. The fuselage and nosepiece were designed in a dragon motif, both of them protected by the strength of a top-class body. As further protection, Black Shadow has equipped an antitheft measure for his leader: If anybody other than Deathborn sits in the cockpit, needles fire out of the dash and inject a deadly poison into the intruder.
