Fabrizio Falcone

Fabrizio Falcone (fa-BREE-tsee-oh  fal-KOH-neh) is Kurt's father and a recurring CPU fighter in the Street Wise series. While Fabrizio's fights usually don't carry much significance, his presence in the games adds a whole new layer of lore. Originally a Muay Thai fighter, this idea was scrapped before he was even added to Street Wise 2: The Newcomers. He is an extremely important character simply due to his relation to Kurt. He is a wealthy owner of a cruise line known as De Rossi lines.

Fabrizio was born into an extremely rich family in the 1800s. He inherited his father's cruise ship line not too long after he turned sixteen. He took great care of it, and now, De Rossi Lines is one of the biggest companies in the Street Wise universe, up there with Parodi Train Co, where Kurt works as a blue collar. Fabrizio is shown to be carefree and fatherly. Sometimes cocky, but not arrogant.

He and Kurt have a heavy bond. Father and Son are bound to be close. However, Kurt and Fabrizio have a playful rivalry. Fabrizio will never be angry if Kurt beats him. Fabrizio was extremely proud when he fell to Kurt in the second tournament, and even more so in the third and fourth.

Fabrizio knows how to pilot large ships and how to survive sinking ones. He has escaped sinking ships multiple times. He also carries a pistol in case he needs to protect customers from pirates or mob members trying to raid the ship. He is very smart, one of the brighter Street Wise maritimers, (Yasakani, Ray Haberken)

"On MY vessels. The lower decks are inspected. Regularly. The hull plating is maintained. The propeller rooms are clean and properly lit. White Star Lines WHO?!" -Fabrizio Falcone, 1914.

Oddly enough, Fabri has been shown to dance in battle, and his Street Wise: Roar of the Celestials theme adds to this.
