| “ | Steel. Glad you're here. Listen, I'm in the middle of something, but you got time to help out, right? | ” |
—Puck Falco[src]
Puck Falco is Juno Steel's former partner from his HCPD days. With Juno, they both had Rita as a secretary.
Puck was Juno's only partner, and a major influence on him. The fact that Juno reaches out to Puck when the Aurinko crime family is captured points to Juno still having a lot of trust in Puck, despite them both being estranged for over 10 years. Once back together, Puck is immediately willing to help Juno, no questions asked.
Early Life[]
Puck is about 15 years older than Juno, and they are described as having white hair and being in great shape. Juno describes himself as a “little brother” to Puck.
Before they joined the HCPD Academy, Puck spend 5 years teaching at an elementary school, and 5 years as a dancer at a club. After they left the HCPD they eventually became a sheriff in Pickham Point, a small mining town on Io.
History[]
After Juno's trip to meet them, Puck’s reaction upon seeing Juno is, to his surprise, not of upset but of nonchalance. They skip greetings to immediately ask him to drive around town and look out for Derek Mathers, a supposedly missing kid whose name sounds suspiciously similar to a certain antagonistic galactic organization. They also ask Juno to meet them at the Town Central Diner in three hours.
After arriving to the diner at the designated meeting time, Juno waits in the Ruby Seven and eventually sees Puck pull up in a car with an unidentified person in sunglasses. Puck goes inside and orders coffee as Juno agonizes over the identity of the person who gave Puck a ride, assuming them to be a Dark Matters agent due to the glasses. Before long Puck comes back out again, and getting into the Ruby Seven and handing off Juno's coffee, whose order they still remember after 10 years. They tell Juno that they received a lead that Derek might be at an abandoned mine shaft near a volcano far out of town. Part 1 leaves off with Juno suspicious, but driving off to the mine shaft with Puck in tow regardless.
