Not a lot is known about Pell’s past. It is seen that he has had a great time with Vivi, even though he was strict with her at times. This can be seen when Vivi tried to make fireworks with gunpowder to celebrate Pell’s enlistment but after seeing what Vivi had done, Pell yelled at Vivi as what she had done was really dangerous. He then broke down and told her that he would not know what to do if anything happened to her. This showed that even though Pell was strict with Vivi, he cared about her a lot.
When Vivi was surrounded by a lot of Millions, she was rescued in time by Pell who had come from Alubarna to challenge Crocodile. However strong Pell was, he was not a match for Miss All Sunday, who captured Vivi and took her to Crocodile in Rain Dinner. When he finally caught up with Miss All Sunday she said that he was injured fighting and would lose easily. She told him that Vivi was safe and with the Straw Hats and he should help Luffy instead, who had protected Vivi.
With the help of Pell, Luffy was able to heal from his injuries. By the time the two got to Alubarna, several things had already taken place. They arrived just in time to save Vivi, who was thrown from the castle walls by Crocodile. Luffy jumped up the walls to face Crocodile once more after making sure Vivi was safe. Luffy realized that water prevented Crocodile from turning into the sand during their previous battle since Crocodile's hook penetrated both him and the water barrel that Toto had provided. He carried a big barrel of water to help him in his rematch with the Warlord after realizing this.
When they were fighting, Luffy got to know that Crocodile had planted a bomb that would explode and destroy everything around it which falls under its 2.5 radius. Vivi and the Straw Hats were able to find the bomb but they weren't able to disarm it in time so Pell willingly sacrificed himself by carrying the bomb high into the sky where it exploded and the city was safe.
Pell was there during the Ruluka Island Arc. He was there when Igaram picked up the last remaining book on Rainbow Mist. We can see Pell talking with Vivi in the background.
After the Enies Lobby Arc, when the new bounties on all the Straw Hats were revealed, Pell was shocked and concerned to see Nico Robin (Miss All Sunday) was now a member of the Straw Hats crew.
After the Marineford war, Pell told King Cobra that he and Chaka were successful in driving a group of pirates out of Alabasta.
Pell and Chaka were seen visiting Fishman Island to buy new clothes to wear for the upcoming Levely.
As the Levely was coming, Pell accompanied the Nefartari Family to Mary Geoise along with Chaka, Karoo and Igaram. He told Igaram that he should not worry a lot about Vivi.
While they were on their way to the Levely, Pell got to know about Luffy’s adventure in Totto Land. They all then arrived at Mary Geoise. After Mjosgard stopped Charlos from getting ahold of Shirahoshi, Pell apologized to Vivi for not being there with her at that time. When Vivi asked him about her father, he told her that King Cobra got a letter from Fujitora and they were having a meeting with the Admiral and Riku Doldo III.
Pell has a lot of respect and will give his life to protect Alabasta’s royal family. He has shown his loyalty to his homeland by sacrificing himself selflessly to save his country from the bomb that Crocodile had set. Pell has always been gentle with people, especially Vivi when she was a child and used to give her a ride using his devil fruit abilities and was her guardian. He is really fond of Vivi and was even ready to give his life away to save her.
Pell is a tall man who has a purple line under each of his eyes that runs down the sides of his face, this makes him look like a falcon. He is a muscular man who has two star-shaped scars on his torso. He wears a long white robe with brown star motifs on it with a matching hat. He wears a big orange necklace around his neck with striped sports socks with shoes. He carries a sword on his right hip which indicates that he either might be left-handed or ambidextrous.
Pell is known to be Alabasta’s strongest warrior, with the help of devil fruit powers he was able to defeat Baroque Works’ agents in seconds. He has good endurance and can stand up quickly after an attack, he even survived the bomb explosion. His carrying the bomb out of Alabasta showed how immense his physical strength is in his Falcon form.
Pell ate the Tori Tori no Mi Model: Falcon which is a Zoan-Type Devil Fruit. It allows the user to transform into a falcon. This is the reason why he is known as ‘Pell the Falcon’. This devil fruit gives him the ability to fly. As it is a Zoan devil fruit, it allows him to transform into three transformations i.e. being a falcon, a falcon hybrid and his human form.
Pell is seen using a sword which has a handle and hilt which looks like a plane and he is quite skilled with it. He is also seen carrying a pair of gatling guns which he uses in conjunction with his Devil Fruit which makes him look like a fighter plane.
