Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake center around the rivalry between protagonist Solid Snake and his commanding officer-turned-nemesis Big Boss. This rivalry served as the basis of the Les Enfants Terribles storyline introduced in Metal Gear Solid, where Solid Snake is revealed to be a clone/son of Big Boss, along with his two brothers: Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake. In Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden is initially introduced with the codename 'Snake' before being given the codename 'Raiden'. In Metal Gear Solid 3, it is revealed that Big Boss's former codename was 'Naked Snake'.
Solid Snake
Main article: Solid Snake
Solid Snake (voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in Japanese and David Hayter in English) is the series' primary protagonist and the player's character in Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 and Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid, his real name is revealed to be David. In Metal Gear Solid 2, he is playable only in the main game's prologue sequence, while Snake Eater and Portable Ops are prequels set before his birth. In Guns of the Patriots due to his aging process being quickened and gaining the appearance of an old man he is given the nickname Old Snake and is the playable character once more. The reason of the rapid aging process was not part of any external source, it was merely the way he was designed as a clone.
Big Boss
Main article: Big Boss (Metal Gear)
Big Boss (voiced as a young man by Akio Ohtsuka in Japanese and David Hayter in English, and as an elder man by Chikao Ohtsuka in Japanese and Richard Doyle in English), also known as the greatest soldier that ever lived. Big Boss is introduced as Solid Snake's commanding officer in Metal Gear, but reveals himself to be the enemy leader at the end of the game. He fights Snake a second time in Metal Gear 2, apparently killed. In Metal Gear Solid, his remains are part of a terrorist group's ransom demand. He appears as the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 3, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker under the identity of Naked Snake. In Metal Gear Solid 3, his real name is revealed to be John.
Raiden
Main article: Raiden (Metal Gear)
Raiden (real name Jack) was the main character of Metal Gear Solid 2, who substituted Solid Snake as the player's character in the main portion of the game. He is initially introduced with the codename Snake before being given the codename Raiden. In MGS2, he reveals he was a child soldier in the Liberian Civil War, and that Solidus Snake is technically his adoptive father. Raiden was romantically involved with Rose who served as Raiden's mission support in MGS2. He returns in Metal Gear Solid 4 as a near-indestructible cyborg ninja who supports Old Snake. He will return as the protagonist of the next game in the series, Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
Liquid Snake
Liquid Snake (voiced by Banjo Ginga in Japanese and Cam Clarke in English) is introduced in Metal Gear Solid as the main antagonist. He is the twin brother of Solid Snake and the second of Big Boss' clones, a creation of the Les Enfants Terribles project. Moved and raised in the United Kingdom following his birth, Liquid served as an operative for the British SAS and later became the field commander of FOXHOUND (after Snake's and Campbell's retirement) prior to the events of the game. Liquid resembles Snake in terms of facial appearance and physique, with the primary differences being his different skin tone and medium-length blond hair, as well as a tattoo of a snake entwined around a sword on his left arm.
He battles Snake numerous times throughout the events of the game; inside a Hind D helicopter, inside Metal Gear REX (after he used Snake to activate the PAL for REX's ability to launch nukes), and on top of a destroyed REX. Towards the conclusion of the game, Liquid corners a trapped Snake, but dies of a heart attack, having been exposed to the FOXDIE virus implanted within his brother.
One of Liquid's motivations is his hatred towards Solid Snake, as Liquid believes that Solid received all of Big Boss' dominant genes, and that he, Liquid, was destined to be inferior. It is revealed after the credits, that Liquid was intentionally deceived in order to drive him to carry on Big Boss' legacy.[3] This is in line with the game's interpretation of the nature versus nurture debate. As the greater experience that Solid has on the battlefield enables him to defeat Liquid, despite his supposed 'genetic dominance' and his personal grudge with Solid, due to him thinking Solid is in fact the dominant one.[4] However the idea of Solid Snake being the recessive one is refuted in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as if Liquid had all of the dominant genes, Naked Snake/Big Boss would have looked like him as opposed to looking like Solid.
In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Liquid's essence still exists, returning as a dormant personality that would possess his former ally, Revolver Ocelot, following an arm transplant where Ocelot replaces his own severed arm with one taken from the corpse of Liquid. Liquid would possess Ocelot via the right arm whenever Solid Snake was in the vicinity. His first appearance is when he hijacks Metal Gear RAY during the Tanker Chapter. During the Plant Chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2, Liquid again possessed Ocelot towards the end, revealing that he was the one who sent the data of Arsenal Gear to Otacon and lured Snake out to the Big Shell, claiming Snake was 'the only one who can free [him]'. He then set off in RAY to hunt the Patriots, claiming he chose Ocelot as his 'host' due his knowledge of the group.
In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, we learn that Ocelot artificially (through nanomachines, hypnotherapy etc.) had become Liquid to fool The Patriots. The personality and mind of Liquid was transplanted into Ocelot's body. Liquid Ocelot then prepared a new plan to destroy The Patriots. Finally, Liquid fought against Snake on the top of Outer Haven, but as he did so, Ocelot began to reappear. Eventually, Liquid's personality was expelled by Ocelot's.
Solidus Snake
Solidus Snake (voiced by Akio Otsuka in Japanese and John Cygan in English) is first mentioned by name in the post-credits codec conversation of Metal Gear Solid, where he is revealed to be a third clone of Big Boss, as well as the President of the United States during the events of the game, George Sears. He appears as the antagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2, where he is revealed to be the adoptive father of the protagonist Raiden after dropping his charade of impersonating Solid Snake. Raiden presumably kills Solidus after their duel atop Federal Hall, by slicing into the spine of Solidus' powered exoskeleton with a high-frequency blade.
Solidus, in fact, survives his duel with Raiden but is left in a catatonic state. Solidus' body is recovered by Big Mama's resistance and harvested for parts in order to restore Big Boss; Solidus being a perfect clone of Big Boss. What remains of Solidus (who is believed by Solid Snake to be Big Boss) is burned during the events of Metal Gear Solid 4.
Introduced in Metal Gear
Gray Fox
Kaneto Shiozawa (MGS) Takumi Yamazaki (MGS2: BD) Jun Fukuyama (MGS: PO) | Greg Eagles (under the pseudonym 'George Byrd') (MGS) Rob Paulsen (MGS: TTS, SSBB, MGS4) Larc Spies (MGS: PO) |
Character study illustration by Yoji Shinkawa, depicting Gray Fox before and after becoming the Cyborg Ninja, with an alternate image featuring his face plate open.
Gray Fox (グレイ・フォックス?, spelled 'Grey Fox' in the MSX2 games) first appears in the original Metal Gear as a high-ranking agent of FOXHOUND (the 'Fox' codename being the highest commemoration within the unit) who goes missing during a mission prior to the events of the game, his last transmission being a cryptic message simply saying 'Metal Gear'.[5]Solid Snake's initial objective in the game is to rescue Gray Fox, who reveals the true nature of Metal Gear to the player.
Fox returns in Metal Gear 2, having left FOXHOUND and defected to Zanzibar Land to join Big Boss' side. Fox pilots the new Metal Gear model, Metal Gear D, and confronts Snake a few times, while secretly assisting him as an anonymous informant. Snake destroys Metal Gear D and ends up being challenged by Fox to a fistfight in the middle of a minefield. Fox's past is fleshed out in this game and his civilian identity is revealed to be Frank Jaeger (フランク・イェーガー?, 'Frank Yeager' in the MSX2 version). His face portrait in the MSX2 version was modeled after actor Tom Berenger.
In Metal Gear Solid, Gray Fox appears under the identity of the Cyborg Ninja (サイボーグ忍者?), an assassin in a powered exoskeleton and armed with a high-frequency blade, who challenges Solid Snake to a fist fight, even though his ultimate goal is to help him. He also provides Snake cryptic advice via CODEC as a faceless contact named Deepthroat. Gray Fox is later killed by Liquid Snake, piloting Metal Gear REX, after Fox destroys the vehicle's radome with the use of a prototype rail gun attached to his arm.
Despite Gray Fox's death in Metal Gear Solid, the Cyborg Ninja incarnation of the character would still appear in subsequent games in some form or another. The Ninja appears as a hidden character in the Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions expansion as a playable character for three special missions; and the character's exoskeleton is used as an alternate outfit for Raiden in the extra missions mode of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, the expanded version of Sons of Liberty. Outside the Metal Gear games, the Cyborg Ninja appears as a race car driver in Konami Krazy Racers and as an assistant fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The role of the Cyborg Ninja is assumed by other characters in the subsequent Metal Gear Solid sequels, namely Olga Gurlukovich in Sons of Liberty and Raiden in Guns of the Patriots.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, a prequel set two decades before the events of the first Metal Gear, features a teenage Gray Fox as a masked machete-wielding assassin named Null (ヌル?), one of the members of FOX the player faces in the game. Null is a teenage assassin subjected to a secret CIA project to be the 'Perfect Soldier'.
Pettrovich Madnar
Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar - The Eastern engineer responsible for creating the TX-55 Metal Gear mecha in the original Metal Gear, as well the TX-11 Arnold (Bloody Brad) androids. Dr. Pettrovich is one of the hostages Snake must rescue along with his daughter Ellen. In Metal Gear 2, Dr. Pettrovich bitterly defects to Zanzibar Land and develops Metal Gear D after being rejected by the scientific community. He comes in contact with Snake in the game while posing as a hostage, but attacks him after the truth is revealed. He somehow survives and is mentioned in Metal Gear Solid 4 as the scientist who saved Raiden's life after he was turned into a cyborg by The Patriots.[6] A character bearing Dr. Pettrovich's namesake appears in Snatcher.[7]
The character was simply called 'Dr. Pettrovich' in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear, with his daughter being referred as 'Elen Pettrovich' in the Japanese version's manual, suggesting that Pettrovich was meant the character's surname. He was given the full name of 'Petrovich Madnar' in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2, a name that was originally used in Snatcher. In the later revisions of both games, he is referred by the full name of 'Drago Pettrovich Madnar', with his daughter now referred as 'Ellen Madnar'. His likeness in the MSX2 version of MG2 is modeled after Albert Einstein.
Kyle Schneider
Kyle Schneider - The leader of a resistance movement in Metal Gear, who helps Snake as a radio contact. He discovers the identity of the Outer Heaven leader, but is silenced before he can mention his name. In Metal Gear 2, Schneider appears under the guise of 'Black Color' ('Black Ninja' in the re-releases), a high-tech ninja under the service of Zanzibar Land and the first boss in the game. Solid Snake kills him during a battle but doesn't find out Black Ninja's true identity until he collapses. He then reveals to Snake that NATO led a bombing raid against Outer Heaven, not caring about the war orphans and/or war refugees. He also tells Snake that Big Boss had forgiven the Resistance for being against him, and rescued as many of them as he could from the bombings, both Outer Heaven personnel and Resistance members.
Introduced in Metal Gear 2
Roy Campbell
Takeshi Aono Toshio Furukawa (MPO) | Paul Eiding David Agranov (MPO) Michael McColl (Ape Escape 3) |
Col. Roy Campbell (ロイ・キャンベル大佐?, 'Roy Kyanbel' in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2), is introduced in Metal Gear 2 as the new commanding officer of FOXHOUND.[5] He serves as Snake's primary radio contact in the game and gives information about his mission objective and general gameplay tips. Colonel Campbell's speaking portrait in the MSX2 version was modeled after Richard Crenna, who is known for the role of Col. Sam Trautman in the Rambo films.
In Metal Gear Solid, Campbell comes out of retirement to command Solid Snake once again. Campbell has more of a personal stake in this mission, as his niece, Meryl Silverburgh, is held captive by the revolutionary force Snake is battling. While Campbell is initially forced to keep a number of secrets from Snake, he gradually reveals more and more of them as the story continues, until, finally, Campbell is briefly arrested. However, he is exonerated after Solid Snake defeats Liquid Snake. He reveals in the alternate ending of the game that Meryl is actually his biological daughter.
In Metal Gear Solid 2, a man who appears to be Col. Campbell (but simply identified as 'Colonel') serves as Raiden's commanding officer, supporting him via codec. When a computer virus starts taking effect on Arsenal Gear, however, the Colonel begins acting erratically (engaging in such non-sequitur behaviors as reading the stations on the Nose Electric Railway and saying 'I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with a tuning fork does a raw blink in hara-kiri rock. I need scissors, 61' in communications with Raiden), revealing its true nature: 'the Colonel' is, in fact, not the real Roy Campbell, but an elaborate A.I. constructed by GW, a supercomputer, and based on Raiden's perceptions and expectations from his VR Training.[8] The Colonel's advice to 'turn off the game console' parallels Big Boss' final radio transmission in the original Metal Gear ordering Snake to abort his mission and 'switch off (the) MSX computer'.[9]
Although he is not involved in the main story, Campbell makes a voice only cameo in Metal Gear Solid 3 during the game over screen scolding Snake for causing a time paradox if the player kills certain supporting characters (namely Sokolov, Ocelot or EVA). He also appears in the Ape Escape crossover minigame 'Snake vs. Monkey'.
In Portable Ops, a young Roy Campbell appears as one of Naked Snake's (Big Boss) comrades in the game. When the story begins, Naked Snake finds himself imprisoned by the FOX unit in South America with Campbell, a captured Green Beret whose unit was wiped out, in the cell next to him. The two escape and begins to recruit disfranchised enemy soldiers and other allies to their cause. In the original version of Portable Ops, Campbell is the only main character who cannot be added as a member of Snake's squad, due to the fact that he had a broken leg at the time: instead he only communicates with the player via the radio and drives the truck which transports captured enemy soldiers. Campbell can only be added to the player's squad in the Portable Ops Plus expansion.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Campbell works for a UN Security Council advisory body that monitors PMC activities. He sends Solid Snake on an unofficial mission to assassinate Liquid in order to put a stop to his plans. He provides the means of transportation Snake uses to complete his mission.[1] He is married to Raiden's former girlfriend, Rosemary, which causes a rift between him and Meryl (who is now aware that Campbell is her father) and which Snake opposes, stating that he is old enough to be Rose's father. However, the marriage is a sham used to fool the Patriots in order to protect Raiden's son, John.
Outside the main series, Campbell reprises his role as Snake's reluctant commanding officer in the Game Boy Color game Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, a side-story which serves as an alternate sequel to the events of the original Metal Gear. Campbell, along with Otacon and Mei Ling (and Slippy Toad from the Star Fox series), serves as one of Snake's codec contacts in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He also makes a brief codec appearance in a minigame in Ape Escape 3.
Master Miller
McDonnell Benedict Miller, also known as Master Miller and Kazuhira Miller, is a drill instructor and survival coach introduced in Metal Gear 2 as a member of FOXHOUND and one of Snake's radio contacts. In Metal Gear Solid, Master is murdered prior to the events of the game and a disguised Liquid assumes his identity, tricking Snake to unknowingly do his bidding. Master Miller was originally depicted as an Asian-looking man with black hair in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2. In Metal Gear Solid, the character is depicted with blond hair and sunglasses. Revisions of Metal Gear 2 following the 2004 mobile phone version depicted Miller in this design. Miller will play a role in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.[10]
Introduced in Metal Gear Solid
Hal Emmerich
Hideyuki Tanaka | Christopher Randolph |
Dr. Hal Emmerich (ハル・エメリッヒ博士?), nicknamed Otacon(オタコン?) due to his fondness of anime, first appears in Metal Gear Solid as an ArmsTech employee who designed Metal Gear REX.[5] He is also a highly accomplished hacker. After being rescued by Snake from the Ninja, and after wetting his pants, he begins to assist him after he realizes that REX is being used by the terrorists to launch a new type of nuclear warhead. His assistance is instrumental to Snake's victory, but at a cost: he is forced to watch Snake execute Sniper Wolf, a woman he had developed a crush on. Otacon's family has a rather dark history with nuclear weapons: his grandfather was part of the Manhattan Project, and his father was born on the same day as the Hiroshima bomb. Kojima states that he created Otacon as his way of glorifying the otaku stereotype by having a character who fights the terrorists with his intellect rather than his brawn.[11] According to Kojima, the original idea of Otacon was to make him 'heavier, wearing a cap, and programming while eating a chocolate bar'. However, the design Shinkawa did for the character was a slender one instead.[12]
In Metal Gear Solid 2, Otacon and Solid Snake form Philanthropy, an anti-proliferation organization dedicated to the eradication of all Metal Gears. During the Tanker chapter, Otacon once again supports Snake via the codec and is in charge of saving the player's progress. He later appears in the Plant chapter, having infiltrated the Big Shell facility with Snake to save his stepsister Emma, who is among the hostages. Tragically, Emma is grievously wounded by Vamp and later, Otacon is forced to watch Emma die in his arms. He later transports the surviving hostages to safety and then provides support to Raiden via codec for the remainder of the game. Lead character designer Yoji Shinkawa stated in an interview that Otacon was designed to look somewhat 'tougher' than he did in Metal Gear Solid.[13]
Though Otacon himself does not appear in Metal Gear Solid 3 (the game being set in the 1960s), his grandfather (who was part of the Manhattan project) is mentioned in a radio call between Naked Snake and Sigint (although Sigint is unable to remember his name correctly) and he appears in a photograph alongside Russian weapons designer Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin.[14]
Otacon appears in Metal Gear Solid 4, still lending his support to Snake. He and Sunny (Olga's daughter) build a robotic companion to Snake called Metal Gear Mk. II, which he controls remotely. The Mk. II is taken from a robotic character of the same name in Snatcher.[1] He becomes romantically involved with Naomi Hunter through the course of the story although he once again loses her to circumstances beyond his control, thus forcing him yet again to witness the death of a woman he cared about. In the codec of MGS4, Otacon tells Snake that he and Sunny will live with Snake for the remainder of his life, to serve as witnesses of his existence.
Revolver Ocelot
Main article: Ocelot (Metal Gear)
Revolver Ocelot appears in Metal Gear Solid as a member of FOXHOUND secretly working as a spy for Solidus Snake, also the U.S. President. He becomes a recurring antagonist in subsequent games, appearing in Metal Gear Solid 2 as an agent of the Patriots who gets possessed by Liquid Snake as the result of an arm transplant, and appears in Metal Gear Solid 3 and Portable Ops as his young self, Major Ocelot. He is the only character to be in all four Metal Gear Solid games.
Meryl Silverburgh
Kyoko Terase | Debi Mae West |
Meryl Silverburgh (メリル・シルバーバーグ?) is introduced as the teenage niece of Solid Snake's commander, Roy Campbell, in Metal Gear Solid, where she serves as Snake's rookie sidekick. Meryl is also Snake's love interest in the story.[5], Prior to the events of the game, she gets assigned to Shadow Moses for a field exercise, but refuses to join the rebellion led by Liquid Snake and is imprisoned. Her cell guard opens the wrong door in confusion and accidentally releases her. She then subdues him, stealing his uniform afterwards. She comes in contact with Snake via the Codec (140.15) and then meets up with him afterwards. Snake rescues her from Psycho Mantis's mind control, but she is later shot and captured by Sniper Wolf. Her ultimate fate depends on the player's actions during the Torture sequence afterwards: if the player succeeds in resisting Revolver Ocelot's torture, Meryl is then rescued by Snake after his fistfight with Liquid and the two escape together from the Shadow Moses base; if the player submits, then an alternate ending is played where Snake finds Meryl dead and Campbell reveals to Snake that Meryl was Campbell's biological daughter.
When character designer Yoji Shinkawa was asked about Meryl's omission in Metal Gear Solid 2, he stated that they purposely avoided mentioning her directly in the game, so that the sequel could follow either of the two endings from the first game.[15] Despite this, the character's survival is mentioned in the fictional publication featured in the game, In the Darkness of Shadow Moses. In addition near the end of the game Snake mentions to Raiden that he has infinite ammo and touches his bandana. The infinite ammo bandana was an item only given to the player if they were successful in saving Meryl. Meryl appears in the expanded version of the game, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, in a few of the supplemental game modes unrelated to the main story.
Disproving Shinkawa's comments and proving that the canon storyline is the one in which she survives, Meryl appears in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots as the commander of 'Rat Patrol Team One' (RAT PT 01), a fictional division of the US Army's CID sent to investigate Liquid Ocelot's PMC activities.[16] She wears a military outfit decked with the FOXHOUND logo, along with a bandana of the style worn by Snake and a bullet for an earring. She is now aware that Roy Campbell is her true father, but openly resents him due to his marriage with Rosemary, who is her own age. She reconciles with him at the end of the game. At first, Meryl dislikes her subordinate Johnny due to his clumsiness and stomach problems, but forgives him after learning he doesn't have nanomachines in his body and falls in love with him after he saves her life on their missions in the Middle East, Europe and the Outer Haven Assualt, and ends up marrying him at the end of the story.
Kojima Productions' representative Ryan Payton acknowledged criticism that her romance with Johnny felt forced, stating that fans were expecting the character to be paired with Snake following the announcement of her appearance in the game, but then went on to state that he did not expect Snake and Meryl to be romantically paired while reading an early script.[17]
Meryl Silverburgh originally appeared as a character in Hideo Kojima's 1994 adventure game Policenauts (released only in Japan).[18] In this game, set in the year 2040, Meryl is a former FOXHOUND operative who works in the space colony Beyond Coast as an officer in the Police Department's vice unit. She works with a partner named Dave Forrest. According to a commentary on the official site of the PSone Books reissue of Policenauts, while the Meryl from Policenauts has the same name, the same Japanese voice actress, and a similar appearance, they are not meant to be the same individual.[19] Meryl from Metal Gear Solid's canon would be in her 50s at the time Policenauts takes place. Her Rat Patrol teammates Ed and Jonathan are named after the protagonists of Policenauts, Ed Brown and Jonathan Ingram. She also wears a bullet-shaped earring in Guns of the Patriots, similar to the one worn by her counterpart in Policenauts.
Meryl is a member of the United States Army throughout the MGS franchise. In the first game, she is a rookie with little field experience, and admits that she chose to be a soldier more as a dream than out of real desire. By the final game, however, she has matured significantly as a warrior as well as a woman, and leads her own team. Her weapon of choice in both installments is the IMIDesert Eagle.
Naomi Hunter
Hiromi Tsuru | Jennifer Hale |
Dr. Naomi Hunter (ナオミ・ハンター博士?) is the chief of FOXHOUND's medical staff, and part of the support crew assembled to assist Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, providing the player with information on the FOXHOUND members Snake faces.[20] A geneticist by practice,[5] she specializes in nanotechnology-based gene therapy. Revealed to be Gray Fox's adopted sister,[21] Naomi seeks revenge on Snake for attempting to kill her brother,[22] though she realizes that some of her original perceptions of him were wrong as the game progresses. When instructed to inject Snake with the FOXDIE virus, she illegally modifies it so that it will kill Snake in addition to FOXHOUND.[1] However, Naomi chooses to set FOXDIE to a 'wildcard' value, leaving him vulnerable at a later time. Uncertain of when exactly the FOXDIE would kill Snake, Naomi merely told him to live his life to the fullest in whatever time he had left.[23]
In The Darkness of Shadow Moses, Nastasha's account of the previous game in Metal Gear Solid 2, reveals that Naomi was arrested following the Shadow Moses Island incident. She escaped from detainment three weeks later; it was heavily implied that Snake assisted her in doing so.[24], However, in Metal Gear Solid 4, it is revealed that it was Liquid Ocelot who helped her escape.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Naomi is working with Liquid Ocelot in order to hijack the SOP battlefield control system.[1] She becomes romantically involved with Otacon and forms a friendship with Sunny. She also revealed that Snake and Liquid have different DNA patterns, which is why the FOXDIE did not kill Snake during Shadow Moses, and also that Snake's premature aging was planned when he was cloned and that he has only six months left before the FOXDIE finally kills him. When they return to Shadow Moses, Naomi reveals that she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer that has been kept in check by nanomachines and, guilt-ridden over her past mistakes, commits suicide by disabling them. Naomi dies in the same place Gray Fox was killed in Metal Gear Solid.
Mei Ling
Houko Kuwashima | Kim Mai Guest |
Mei Ling (美玲 or メイ・リン?) is a Chinese-American data analyst in charge of saving the player's progress in Metal Gear Solid. She is the one who invented Snake's wireless communication equipment, the codec radio, as well the Soliton Radar, which detects the positions and field of vision of nearby enemy soldiers. Every time Snake saves his data, Mei Ling provides him with advice through Chinese proverbs, as well as quotations from Western authors. In the Japanese version, Mei Ling only quoted Chinese proverbs: she would cite the original proverb in Chinese and then explain its meaning to Snake in Japanese. According to Kojima, this made some of the proverbs redundant after translating them to English, since Mei Ling would be saying the same thing twice.[25] The western quotes were added under Jeremy Blaustein's (the game's translator) suggestion. Her design was based on actress Shinobu Nakayama.
In Metal Gear Solid 2, Mei Ling is part of Philanthropy, an anti-Metal Gear organization, but assists Snake and Otacon off-screen, attempting to steal equipment from the SSCEN. She makes a voice only cameo in the game as an easter egg during the Tanker chapter, after the player has saved their progress 13 times.[26]
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Mei Ling commands the museum-turned-training vessel USS Missouri and provides Snake and Otacon with backup, courtesy of her connections from the SSCEN.[1] Due to her position on the USS Missouri, she is dressed in a Navy uniform with the rank of Captain.[27] At the end of the game, she acts as Meryl Silverburgh's bridesmaid at her wedding.
Mei Ling has made a few appearances outside the main series of Metal Gear games. She is a central character in the radio drama version of Metal Gear Solid (set after the events of the original game) and appears in the Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid (a side story unrelated to the main series). Mei Ling is also one of Snake's support crew in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. She is apparently a fan of the Pokémon series, in particular the character Pikachu.[28]
Johnny
Naoki Imamura (MGS, MGS2, MGS3) Jun Fukuyama (MGS4) | Dean Scofield (MGS, MGS2) Michael Gough (MGS3) Beng Spies (MGS4) |
Johnny (ジョニー?), nicknamed Akiba(アキバ?) in Metal Gear Solid 4 is a recurring comic relief character who first appears as an enemy guard in Metal Gear Solid whose uniform is stolen by Meryl, and again later in the game whilst Snake is being held in-between torture sessions with Revolver Ocelot while suffering from a cold and diarrhea. Johnny's character is never named in the game and is listed only in the ending credits as Johnny Sasaki (ジョニー 佐々木?). The surname Sasaki comes from the game's character model designer, Hideki Sasaki. According to the developers' commentary in Metal Gear Solid: Integral, Hideki was known among the staff for his slackoff behavior and the character was included in the game as an in-joke.[29] This surname was only used in the first two Metal Gear Solid games.
Johnny returns for a pair of voice-over cameos in Metal Gear Solid 2.[26] In an early version of the MGS2 story, his full name was to be Johnny Sasaki Slater (ジョニー・佐々木・スレイター?) and originally had a minor role in the story in which his character, a Patriot spy, would die from a pacemaker malfunction after coming in contact with Raiden (the scene was retained in the final game, but Ames took said place).[9] During Raiden's talk with Ames, where he uses the Directional Mic to listen in on Solidus' and Ocelot's conversation, if the player points the mic at the bathroom door in the corner, he can hear Johnny talking to himself whilst on the toilet. Johnny talks about how his life has gone since Shadow Moses as well how Olga reminds him of Meryl (in the Japanese version they share the same voice actress, hence the joke) while fighting his trademark diarrhea. Johnny's monologue ends with him realizing there is no toilet paper. Johnny can be found again during Raiden's sniper trial at the bottom of the Big Shell's Struts. When guarding Emma's advance with sniper fire, using the directional microphone while she is behind the second strut will trigger a conversation. Emma gets caught by Johnny, but lowers his gun when he sees that she is a woman and unarmed. Johnny then reflects on the danger of associating with beautiful women during a mission. He tells Emma that it will cause diarrhea, right before being hit with a bout. Johnny is then forced to release Emma and run off to find the bathroom. Emma then comments, 'what a weird guy.'
In Metal Gear Solid 3, Johnny's grandfather, also named Johnny (who explains that all of the first-born sons in his family are given this name) appears as a cell guard who befriends Naked Snake after he is captured by Colonel Volgin. He wears a Balaclava with the letter J on his forehead. This same character appears as a recruitable character in Portable Ops Plus.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Johnny is a member of Meryl's Rat Patrol Team 01, his face being revealed for the first time in the series. Johnny's nickname given by his teammates is Akiba, shortened from Akihabara, due to his fascination with high-tech gadgets. He, along with Meryl, assist Snake in Outer Haven by allowing him time to reach the server room. It is revealed that he had been in love with Meryl since he first saw her at Shadow Moses, and he marries her in the epilogue. Also, unlike all of the other soldiers in the Army and the PMCs, Johnny does not have nanomachines since he always avoided the injections due to his trypanophobia; the lack of such explains his frequent spells of colds and diarrhea. While this gives him poor combat performance in comparison to his squad mates, he is completely immune to Liquid Ocelot's ability to directly attack soldiers' nanomachines and Screaming Mantis' ability to directly control people with nanomachines in their bodies (his trump card throughout the game). He admits to Meryl that he fell in love with her the first time they met in Shadow Moses (referencing the moment in MGS1 where Meryl knocked him out and stole his clothes). At first Meryl seems to be utterly annoyed with Johnny since he seemed undisciplined and out of sync with the team but later becomes more forgiving after learning he lacked nanomachines and returned his romantic feelings in the end.
Sniper Wolf
Sniper Wolf (voiced by Tasia Valenza and Naoko Nakamura) is the Iraqi-Kurdish sharpshooter of the FOXHOUND unit, who uses a Heckler & Koch PSG1.[30][31][32] Though snipers usually work in pairs, Sniper Wolf works alone.[33] She is also another 'disciple' of Big Boss, the antagonist from the previous two Metal Gear games.[34] During the takeover, she apparently took pity on Otacon, allowing him to feed the huskies and giving him a handkerchief. Otacon became infatuated with her and was devastated by her death. In Metal Gear Solid she fights Snake twice, the first time results in Meryl being captured, and Snake being tortured,[35] in the second battle she is killed.[36] She is referenced in MGS4 by Otacon as a wolf comes to carry away a defeated Crying Wolf implying that the wolf represents her spirit. She is also apparently addicted to the muscle relaxant Diazepam. She is only seen taking it once, but a later dialogue by Ocelot implies that she uses it quite often and it may have prevented FOXDIE from killing her. Her Kurdish ancestry is also the reason her code name is Wolf.
Psycho Mantis
Psycho Mantis (voiced by Doug Stone and Kazuyuki Sogabe, Shozo Iizuka in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots) is a psychic expert for the FOXHOUND unit. After the collapse of the Soviet union, he came to America looking for a job. Prior to joining FOXHOUND, he worked with the KGB and the FBI. His special abilities include the psychic powers of psychokinesis and telepathy. He also claims to be able to read the future, but this is implied to be a use of telepathy to find out what his opponents will do next as opposed to true clairvoyance. His predictions also seem to be susceptible to change, stating that Snake has a large place in Meryl's heart, but cannot see if their futures lie together. In Metal Gear Solid Mantis encounters Snake twice, the first time he takes control of Meryl's mind, the second encounter he and Snake do battle, with Mantis being defeated.[37]
Vulcan Raven
Vulcan Raven (voiced by Peter Lurie and Yukitoshi Hori) is the Inuit member of FOXHOUND who wields a giant Vulcan cannon and has shamanic powers of intuition. He is able to discern Snake's heritage. He can also tell that Snake is a clone, saying that he is 'from another world.' He was an employee at Big Boss's fortified nation of Outer Heaven prior to his involvement at FOXHOUND.[38][39] In Metal Gear Solid he does battle with Snake twice, the first battle with Raven in an M1 Abramstank,[40] the second in a freezer with Raven being killed. During his death scene he gives info on the real identity of the DARPA Chief. He also leaves Snake with a cryptic message of his violent future. His body is then completely devoured by ravens.[41]
Decoy Octopus
Decoy Octopus is a member of FOXHOUND, and, with the rest of his unit, went rogue during the Shadow Moses island incident. Octopus specializes in impersonation. In Metal Gear Solid he impersonates the DARPA Chief after Ocelot killed him,[41][42] and is killed by the FoxDie virus.[43] He is the only member of FOXHOUND whom Snake does not fight. As Donald Anderson, he lies to Snake about having his detonation code found out by Psycho Mantis and also informs him of the PAL override system. In a later scene, when Ocelot and Liquid talk about FoxDie, Ocelot reveals that Octopus was older than the others, possibly even the oldest member of FOXHOUND.
Nastasha Romanenko
Nastasha Romanenko (voiced by Renee Raudman and Eiko Yamada) is Solid Snake's codec contact on matters related to nuclear weapons.[44] She was born in Ukraine and was just ten years old when the Chernobyl Accident took place. She saw many people, including her parents succumb to the effects of radiation. It is revealed in Metal Gear Solid 2 that she was brought into the mission by Richard Ames, her ex-husband.[45] After the events of Metal Gear Solid, her character writes an autobiography titled In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth and then forms 'Philanthropy' (an anti-proliferation group featured prominently in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty) with the profits she made.[9] This fictional publication serves as a plot summary of Metal Gear Solid (and reveals previously undisclosed plot details about the events of the games), and is included as a bonus feature in Metal Gear Solid 2, and she herself is credited as writing it in the game credits, rather than the real life writer,[45] Tomokazu Fukushima, the co-writer of the Metal Gear Solid series.
Donald Anderson
Donald Anderson (voiced by Greg Eagles and Masaharu Sato) is the office chief of DARPA taken hostage by FOXHOUND.[46] As an advocate of the nuclear retaliation theory, he funds the Metal Gear REX project with ArmsTech as part of the US' black budget. He is tortured to death by Revolver Ocelot,[42] and later impersonated by Decoy Octopus. Donald Anderson is also known as 'Sigint' from 'Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater' which is revealed at the end of 'Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots' When Big Boss encounters Solid Snake at the burial site of the original 'Big Boss'.
Kenneth Baker
Kenneth Baker (voiced by Allan Lurie and Yuzuru Fujimoto) is the president of ArmsTech, one of the leading manufacturers of the arms industry and taken prisoner by FOXHOUND.[46] In Metal Gear Solid he is tortured by Revolver Ocelot, then rescued by Snake. Snake was unable to rescue him before he gave away his detonation code. However he is killed by the FoxDie virus.[43] He is the first person to realize that FoxDie exists and nearly tells Snake the truth about his mission, but succumbs to the virus before he can finish his sentence.
Jim Houseman
Jim Houseman (voiced by William Basset and Tomohisa Aso) is the United States Secretary of Defense and serves as the mission controller during the Shadow Moses Island incident via AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System: a radar-based electronic system designed to carry out airborne surveillance).[46] He makes only one appearance at the end of Metal Gear Solid, via CODEC, where he orders the Shadow Moses base to be bombed.[47] According to In the Darkness of Shadow Moses, Houseman commits suicide following the events of Metal Gear Solid, however Nastasha suggests he was murdered.[48]
Introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2
Vamp
Ryotaro Okiayu (MGS2) Shinya Tsukamoto (MGS4) | Phil LaMarr |
Vamp (ヴァンプ?) first appears in Metal Gear Solid 2 as a member of Dead Cell from Romania who forms part of the 'Sons of Liberty' terrorist group during the Plant chapter. He is a knife-throwing specialist endowed with numerous vampire-like abilities and attributes, such as a taste for blood, superhuman strength, speed, and agility, the ability to walk/stand vertical walls, and apparent immortality (being able to simply shrug off what would typically be a mortal wound, such as a bullet to the head). His taste for blood is described in a Codec call between Snake and Raiden after Raiden defeats Solidus's harrier: as a child, his entire family was killed when a church they were attending was bombed, and he was trapped under rubble, along with being impaled by a crucifix, for two days before he was rescued, and he survived by drinking the blood of his dead family members, which is where he got his bloodlust. It is implied that Snake and Vamp have met before the events of the Big Shell incident. Vamp confronts Raiden several times throughout the course of the game, before being, apparently, killed by Raiden's sniper fire and lost to the seas (but not before inflicting a mortal wound on Otacon's stepsister, Emma). Despite his apparent death, he somehow manages to survive and appears among the crowd that forms in the streets of Manhattan after Arsenal Gear crashes into Federal Hall.[26] Vamp was originally designed as a woman, but when the character of Fortune was introduced, the design was changed to that of a man, although the long black hair was retained.[49] His moniker has dual meanings, being a short form of the English word vampire as well as referring to his bisexual orientation.[50] Vamp's appearance is based on Spanish dancer Joaquín Cortés.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Vamp appears as a member of Liquid Ocelot's private army and as Raiden's rival.[1] His 'immortality' is revealed to be caused by nanomachines in his body that heal all of his wounds at an extraordinarily fast rate (Naomi describes it as augmenting his natural healing abilities). Using a syringe designed by Naomi Hunter to destabilize the functionality of nanomachines, Snake disables Vamp's nanomachines, allowing Raiden to mortally wound him at Shadow Moses Island. The nanomachines still barely functioning keep Vamp in a painful near death state (keeping him alive but not healing his wounds). Naomi uses the syringe on him, before using it on herself, to completely shut down the nanomachines and allowing him to die.
Rosemary
Kikuko Inoue | Lara Cody |
Rosemary (ローズマリー?, Rose for short) is introduced as Raiden's girlfriend in the Plant chapter portion of Metal Gear Solid 2. She is employed by the army as a data analyst, and saves the player's progress over Codec. Rosemary also supports Raiden by providing information about the Big Shell facilities and the other characters Raiden encounters in the game. Raiden and Rose spend most of their conversations talking about their relationship. By the end of the game, Rosemary reveals herself to be a spy for The Patriots. She is then taken off the mission and replaced by an A.I. duplicate of her who openly mocks Raiden. After the final battle, Raiden is reunited with the real Rose, pregnant with his child, in front of Federal Hall.
In an early version of MGS2 story, Rosemary dies in the game; in this version, Rosemary and Raiden never meet in person, as she's a supposed hostage in the Big Shell who communicates with Raiden via the Codec, which would lead the player to wonder whether she was real or just an AI construct.[51]
In Metal Gear Solid 4,[27] Rosemary appears as a psychological counselor in a combat stress platoon, offering Snake tips on dealing with stress.[52] Though she became engaged to Raiden after the events of Metal Gear Solid 2, their relationship ended after Rosemary purportedly miscarried their child.[1] Rosemary later marries Campbell, causing a rift between Campbell and Meryl. In reality, Rosemary did give birth to Raiden's child, a boy named John; her marriage is a ploy to protect the boy from The Patriots, by having Campbell pose as John's father. After she reveals the truth to Raiden, the couple reconciles.
Olga Gurlukovich
Olga Gurlukovich appears in the Tanker chapter as a member of her father's mercenary unit and is the sole boss character in this portion of the game.[53] She takes over her father's unit after his death in the Tanker chapter, lending her team to the Sons of Liberty terrorist faction. She is shown to be at odds with Ocelot, blaming him for her father's death. She is actually an unwilling agent for the Patriots, who are holding her child hostage, and assists Raiden as a disguised Cyborg Ninja calling herself Mr. X. By doing so, she is betraying her comrades to ensure her child's safety, a realization that makes her feel guilty. She even goes so far as to say that she knows she is going to hell. After she reveals herself to Solidus, she is killed with a shot to the head. Her daughter, Sunny, who was raised by the Patriots, appears in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Sunny has a portrait of her mother hanging in the kitchen area of the Nomad.
Fatman
Fatman, who named himself after the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, is a member of Dead Cell specializing in explosives and the first boss character in the Plant chapter (not counting Raiden's encounter with Fortune). He is an overweight bald man in a bomb blast suit who moves around with his roller skates and is armed with a Glock 18 in addition to his bombs. One of the player's early objectives in the Plant chapter is to deactivate a series of C4 bombs planted within each of the struts surrounding the Shell 1 core. The explosives are revealed to be nothing more than dummy bombs serving to activate the real bomb in basement of Strut A. A similar bomb planted in the basement of the Shell 2 Core detonates, killing Fatman's former mentor Peter Stillman in the process. As Raiden meets with him, Fatman reveals that he wishes to surpass his mentor by killing him and blowing up the Big Shell in the process. Fatman then challenges Raiden to a duel at the heliport atop Strut E. The battle involves neutralizing Fatman while trying to prevent his explosives from blowing up the place. Once the player has defeated Fatman, Fatman says that there is one more bomb, and that 'it's very close by'. Fatman is actually sitting on the bomb so the player has to grab him and drag him away. Because of Fatman's weight the player can only drag him for about 4 seconds. In the ending sequence of the game, Ocelot reveals that Fatman was actually an agent of The Patriots. Stillman's presence in the facility was arranged to motivate Fatman into participating.

Fortune
Fortune, whose real name is Helena Dolph Jackson, is the leading member of Dead Cell and a member of the 'Sons of Liberty'. She is an African-American woman with blond hair and wears a dark leotard and trenchcoat, while her weapon is a railgun. Fortune's theme song is a saxophone solo titled 'Fortune' on the soundtrack. Her codename comes from her nearly-miraculous ability to have bullets pass by her without hitting her. She confronts Raiden once in the game; the player is unable to actually defeat her in battle and must avoid her attacks while waiting for an elevator to arrive. Her true motive is to seek revenge against Solid Snake, whom she believes was responsible for her father's death. Near the end of the game, she learns it was actually Ocelot who killed her father, but is shot in the chest before she can attack: Ocelot reveals that her immunity to bullets was simply the result of an electromagnetic force field surrounding her body, also later revealing that her heart is on the right side of her body, not the left like most other people. Before dying, she manages to deflect RAY's missiles, protecting Raiden, Snake and Solidus, causing Snake to remark 'she is Lady Luck' and proving that perhaps she does have an underlying supernatural ability.

Upon learning this, Hal's father committed suicide by drowning himself in the family's swimming pool, and accidentally dragged Emma into the water in the process. She survived, but not without injury. Emma expected Hal to save her, but he wasn't aware that this was happening (due to his relationship with his stepmother). After this, Emma developed a fear of water and became estranged from her stepbrother, blaming him for leaving the family after his father's death. She is escorted to the Shell 1 Core computer room by Raiden to download a virus into GW, but is ambushed by Vamp on the oil fence. Raiden snipes Vamp, but before falling into the sea, Vamp fatally stabs Emma in the back. She later dies in the computer room. She is named after the character Dr. E.E. Danziger from the novel Time and Again.

President James Johnson is the current President of the United States in Metal Gear Solid 2, he has been President for at least four years by the time of Metal Gear Solid 2, he is the primary hostage Raiden is sent to rescue in the Plant chapter. After a series of ordeals, Raiden finally meets the President in the Shell 2 Core. The President reveals that he was actually a willing accomplice in the terrorist act, his vital signs being the input codes to activate Arsenal Gear (the new version of Metal Gear housed in the Big Shell), but was imprisoned after a conflict of interest with Solidus Snake (he wanted power, whereas Solidus preferred rebelling altogether). He reveals the truth about Arsenal Gear and Solidus Snake to Raiden, and learns that he was manipulated to revolt by the Patriots as part of the S3 Plan.

He eventually learns that the explosives Fatman planted were decoys used to activate the real bombs set to destroy the foundation of Shell 1 and Shell 2. Stillman (after revealing that he'd killed his soul) races to the basement of Strut H, only to be caught in Fatman's trap: the bomb being equipped with a proximity sensor, detonates, killing Stillman and floods the basement. Later, while exploring the flooded basement, the player can find Stillman's body floating around.

EVA
Misa Watanabe (MGS3, MPO) Mari Natsuki (MGS4) | Suzetta Miñet (MGS3) Vanessa Marshall (MPO) Lee Meriwether (MGS4) |
EVA first appears in Metal Gear Solid 3 as a female spy in the service of the People's Republic of China[5] sent to retrieve the Philosophers' Legacy.[54] EVA uses her charm and good looks to win over the trust of Snake and his enemies. During the events of Snake Eater, she infiltrates Colonel Volgin's base through the disguise of being Sokolov's lover named Tatyana and assists Naked Snake through the alternative disguise of a KGB spy, to help him reach the Philosophers' Legacy so that she can later steal it from him, even seeming to fall in love with him. After the mission is completed, EVA fails to carry out the order of assassinating Snake as she promised The Boss she would not, and flees with what she believes to be the Philosophers' Legacy (later revealed to be a fake). The epilogue prior to the credits goes on to state that EVA disappeared in Hanoi, Vietnam in 1968. EVA's presence in MGS3 has been compared to that of the Bond Girls in the 007 film series.[55] EVA reappears in Portable Ops as a recruitable character by completing a series of non-canon optional missions.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, which is set 50 years after the events of MGS3, she appears under the identity of Big Mama[1] as the leader of a resistance movement against The Patriots. It's revealed that she was fired from her job as a spy by PLAIntelligence after the microfilm she brought to her superiors turned out to be a fake. She was expelled from China and spent years on the run. She met Big Boss again in 1971 when he rescued her in Hanoi, Vietnam, and he invited her to become part of the Patriots. She later became the surrogate mother who gave birth to Solid Snake and Liquid Snake,[56] and though she was not his true biological mother, she nonetheless thought of Snake as her own son. She assists Solid Snake in Eastern Europe, ultimately dying due to coming into contact with the FOXDIE virus carried in Snake's body.[57]
Major Zero
Banjō Ginga | Jim Piddock |
Major Zero, also known as Major Tom, is introduced in Metal Gear Solid 3 as the commanding officer of the FOX unit, who communicates with Naked Snake (Big Boss) via the radio. In Portable Ops, he is supposedly arrested by the Pentagon after being convicted for the FOX unit's revolt, but is 'exonerated' after the events of the game.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, he is revealed to be the founder of The Patriots along with Big Boss. However, a fallout between the two causes Zero to plot Big Boss's demise through the use of his clone son, Solid Snake. He appears in the ending as a 105-year-old vegetable in a wheelchair. He dies in the final scene of the game after Big Boss cuts off his oxygen supply.

Naoki Tatsuta | Brian Cummings |
Dr. Nikolai Stephanovich Sokolov is the rocket scientist who develops the Shagohod, the featured tank in Metal Gear Solid 3. He is captured by Colonel Volgin, who forced him to complete the weapon, and seemingly dies off-screen after he is tortured for trying to escape. Despite his apparent death, he appears in Portable Ops as an informant named Ghost, revealing that he survived Volgin's torture and escaped to the U.S. with the help of the new FOX unit commander Gene. He builds the first Metal Gear model, the ICBMG, a quadrupedal model.
The Boss
The Boss
The Boss (a.k.a. The Joy) is a legendary Americansoldier, founder and leader of the Cobra unit, and is known as the mother of the U.S. special forces.[58] According to the Metal Gear Solid 4: Database, she was born in 1922 and is the daughter of one of the original members of the Philosophers behind the Philosophers' Legacy. She is known in Russia as Voyevoda, literally meaning The Warlord. In June 1944, during World War II, she led the Cobra unit to victory at the Battle of Normandy. She was pregnant at the time with a baby fathered by The Sorrow. The Boss gave birth to a baby boy on the battlefield via a messy caesarian section that left her with a long, snaking scar across her abdomen. The baby was taken by the Philosophers and would later grow up to be Revolver Ocelot.
Volgin
Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin (Евгений Борисович Волгин) is a sadistic StalinistGRUcolonel who attempts to seize control of the Soviet Union by overthrowing Nikita Khrushchev and installing Leonid Brezhnev and Aleksei Kosygin in his place.

Para-Medic
Para-Medic is a FOX support team member who provides Naked Snake with surgical and medical information as well as general information on the local flora and fauna. As Snake Eater is set before the modern use of the word 'paramedic', her name instead comes from a portmanteau of 'parachute' and 'medic.'[60]
The End
The End
The End is a member of the Cobra unit with exceptional sniping skills, born in the early 1860s, and the only member of the Cobra unit without an emotion-based codename, though it is explained in the game that it signifies 'true oblivion'.[61] This may be contradictory, since The End cannot under any circumstances kill Snake. The End uses stun grenades and a modified Mosin-Nagantrifle converted to fire sedativerounds. However, The End is also said to be 'usually dead' when Volgin asks why he is 'always sleeping.' (he was effectively dead, and revived himself only to fight Snake, which may be the source of the 'true oblivion') The End can also become 'one' with the environment, flora and fauna included. He apparently can summon the spirits of the 'holy forest' he waits in to revive his stamina through directed sunlight. His pet parrot (an Alexandrine parakeet) alerts him to Snake's presence acting as a spotter of sorts, and calls him 'Grandpa'. If Snake is defeated by The End, he will simply carry the unconscious protagonist back to the Graniny Gorki Laboratory prison cells, leave the door unlocked, return to his position and await Snake's inevitable return; he is the only member of the Cobras that will not kill the player under any circumstances.
The Fear
The Fear
The Fear is a member of the Cobra unit known for his superhuman speed and agility, as well as his freakish, fearsome appearance. His elbows are double jointed, and he has a long, lizard-like tongue, forked through surgery, that he can use to grasp objects. Capable of dislocating his joints at will, he is able to crawl, walk on water, flip, leap extremely quickly in the manner of a spider, and also climb and jump around in trees with ease. He mainly uses a crossbow in battle, coating his bolts in the venom of the Brazilian wandering spider,[62] setting them on fire or even outfitting them with explosives. He uses a variety of wires and ropes to enhance his mobility. On top of his incredible agility, he also uses Stealth camouflage to make himself nearly invisible; as a result, he is incredibly difficult to hit. He is also an expert in booby traps; the forest where Snake fights The Fear is riddled with them. The Fear is killed in a skirmish with Snake following his departure from Granin's lab. The Fear has two crossbows. He calls the bigger crossbow William Tell, and the smaller one Little Joe. At the beginning of the battle, he shoots Snake in the leg with a poisoned crossbow bolt, but wants to kill Snake himself rather than let the venom do the job for him. The poison begins to make Snake hallucinate, giving the Fear a distinct advantage, though Snake still manages to defeat him.
The Fury
The Fury is a pyromaniac and former Soviet cosmonaut. He utilizes a flame-resistant Soviet space suit in conjunction with a jet pack and a powerful flamethrower, both of which are powered by liquid rocket fuelUDMH. His codename reflects the unmitigated fury he feels towards the world while he is fighting.[63]
The Pain
The Pain has the ability to control hornets at his will, through the buzzing of a queen bee that he keeps in his backpack. Apart from his hornets, The Pain is also equipped with a Tommy gun and grenades, using his hornets in conjunction with these weapons. He also uses his hornets to shield himself and create the form of a body double to confuse and draw his opponents into the open.
The Sorrow
The Sorrow
The Sorrow was a powerful spirit medium and a former member of the Cobra unit who used his psychic powers to aid his fellow soldiers on the battlefield. He was romantically involved with The Boss and is revealed in the course of the game to be the father of her child Ocelot. After the ideological rift created by the Cold War loyalties changed with he and The Boss each taking their respective sides. Later, he sacrificed himself for The Boss when they met on a battlefield, via a bullet through his left eye, after the Cobra unit disbanded. He makes many hidden appearances (in ghost form) throughout the game's cut scenes. His skeleton can also be seen in first-person view near the end of the Virtuous Mission following the confrontation between Snake and The Boss. During the scene in which Snake is tortured by Volgin he can be seen in first-person view holding a sign with the code needed to unlock Snake's jail cell. Also towards the end of the game, when the clock is counting down to a massive explosion of rocket fuel and C3, The Sorrow can be seen in a number of cut scenes holding up a sign displaying the amount of time left.
Raikov
Major Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov (Иван Райденович Райков) is a high-ranking officer within Groznyj Grad and a parody of Sons of Liberty's Raiden. He is implied to be Colonel Volgin's secret lover, and subsequently has colonel-class authority even though he is only a Major. There are numerous references to Raiden, ranging from Raikov's likeness, his name, his fighting style, a locker poster, and the shared voice actor in the Japanese version. He also has a small lightning bolt on the side of his underwear, in reference to Raiden being the Japanese word for 'Thunder' and Volgin's alias being 'Thunderbolt'. In the Subsistence version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Raikov even says some phrases that Raiden says in the end sequence of Sons of Liberty like 'No, never heard the name before' and 'We'll tell them together'. To get him to say these things, the player must use CQC to interrogate him. The name 'Raidenovitch' is also a reference to both the character of Raiden, and the suffix '-vitch' (meaning 'son of') used in Russian patronymic names.
Granin
Aleksandr Leonidovitch Granin (Александр Леонидович Гранин) is the director of OKB-812, the Granin Design Bureau. https://treegreen592.weebly.com/daz-studio-46-download-mac.html.

Introduced in Metal Gear Solid 4
Sunny
The daughter of Olga Gurlukovich from Metal Gear Solid 2. After the Big Shell Incident, Sunny was rescued from the Patriots by Raiden and taken under the custody of Snake and Otacon. She is a gifted computer programmer who, along with Naomi Hunter, designs FOXALIVE, the virus which Snake uses to disable the Patriots' AIs. Sunny is voiced by Christina Puccelli in the English version and Kikuko Inoue (the voice of Rosemary and The Boss) in Japanese.
Drebin 893
A weapons launderer who assists Snake by disabling ID-tagged weapons taken from PMC troops, usually accompanied by his pet monkey, Little Gray. He also provides exposition on the origins of each of the B&B members. Drebin is actually a Patriots' spy assigned to help Snake defeat Liquid Ocelot. He injects Snake with a syringe that secretly contains a new strain of FOXDIE programmed to kill EVA, Ocelot and Big Boss; in addition to the nanomachines allowing Snake to use Drebin's weapons. Drebin is voiced by Khary Payton in the English version and Keiji Fujiwara (the voice of Sigint) in Japanese.
Jonathan
The other two members of Rat Patrol. Jonathan is a hulking Korean-American who serves as the team's heavy weapons specialist and has a mohawk in the shape of an exclamation mark, which is first emphasized with the classic alert noise when an enemy first detects you. He is thought to have died from bullet wounds when Liquid takes control of SOP, but he attends Meryl's wedding at the end. He is named after the main character in Policenauts.
Ed
Ed is an African-American who serves as the team's sniper and Meryl's second-in-command. He is presumed to have died from bullet wounds during Liquids initial take over, but he returns with Jonathan at Meryl's wedding. He is also named after a character from Policenauts, where Meryl originally debuted as a supporting character.
Liquid Ocelot
Liquid Ocelot, formerly known as Revolver Ocelot, was an agent of The Patriots who lost his right arm in Metal Gear Solid and received a replacement transplant from Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2, causing it to appear that Liquid's personality takes over Ocelots mind. In Metal Gear Solid 4, his Liquid persona seems to have taken full possession of his mind, and he forms the private military company Outer Heaven to destroy The Patriots, this company also has the 5 other major PMC's under its control.
Screaming Mantis
Screaming Mantis is perhaps the most powerful and intimidating member of the Beauty and the Beast Corps. Able to fly by some kind of unknown ability, it's rather apparent that she has great mental abilities that allow her to crush people at will. Additionally, it seems as though she can take control of the minds of soldiers, manipulating them like puppets to do her bidding, including killing their former allies. Turning these men into marionettes seems to be a particular favorite of hers; in fact, dangling from the many arms of Mantis are two puppets that appear to be Psycho Mantis from MGS1 and The Sorrow from MGS3. It has been revealed that the Psycho Mantis puppet is used to controls and manipulates living people while The Sorrow puppets can be used to manipulate dead bodies. However, her powers are limited by the fact that they only work by manipulating the nanomachines inside a person, meaning people who do not have nanomachines or who have the ability to suppress them are effectively immune to her powers.
Crying Wolf
Crying Wolf is the physically strongest member of the Corps, attacking with a rail gun and sheer brute force. Her olfactory system is particularly strong, being able to smell her opponents on the battlefield. She was born in an unnamed village in Africa, in a country afflicted by civil war. After her family was killed in an attack, Wolf fled the village with her baby brother and became a refugee. When hiding from an enemy unit in a shack, her brother began to cry; she covered his mouth to silence him and accidentally smothered him to death. Upon reaching a refugee camp, Wolf was driven insane by her grief and by the cries of children. She experienced visions of a wolf killing the children of the camp; in reality, it was she who did so. Crying Wolf does not accept that she killed the children until she is defeated by Snake. Upon her defeat, she is taken away by one of Sniper Wolf's wolves, with Otacon implying the wolf carrying her was Sniper Wolf's spirit.
Laughing Octopus
Laughing Octopus is a master of camouflage, disguising as various things including a muscle anatomy mannequin, painting, dead Haven soldier, and a wall. This is all possible, because of her Octocamo, which is also apart of her helmet. She also wields a FaceCamo Mask, which can either blend into the surrounding environment or change into the face of anyone. This allows maximum camouflage.
Raging Raven
Raging Raven is an aerial based member of the Corps, utilizing UCAVs and a grenade launcher to attack her enemies. Born in Aceh, Indonesia, Raging Raven was taken as a prisoner of war as a child. After enduring months of torture and starvation, Raven's captors abruptly abandoned the prison, leaving her and the other child prisoners to be eaten alive by ravens. Raven was the last living child; though instead of eating her, the ravens pecked away her bonds. Raven found the base camp of the group that had tortured her and killed both the soldiers and civilians residing there.
Groups and Organizations
FOXHOUND
The FOXHOUND logo introduced in Metal Gear Solid. A more cartoon-like version was used for the MSX2 games.
High-Tech Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND (ハイテク特殊部隊フォックスハウンド?, also spelled FOX-HOUND) is a US Army elite special forces unit that has appeared in numerous forms throughout the Metal Gear series.[5] FOXHOUND was formed during the 1990s according to the original Metal Gear (later revised to 1971 in Metal Gear Solid 3) to cope with local revolutions, regional complications, and global terrorist activities. This unit specializes in black ops, carrying out top-secret operations within 'unauthorized' combat zones which are too politically-sensitive to intervene in through conventional means. In the original Metal Gear, FOXHOUND is led by Big Boss (the team's commanding officer), with Solid Snake and Gray Fox serving as field operatives, although Big Boss betrays the unit in the end of the game. Roy Campbell, the unit's executive officer, becomes the new commanding officer in Metal Gear 2, with him, drill instructor Master Miller and military strategist George Kasler forming part of Snake's support crew in the game.
In Metal Gear Solid, Snake and Campbell are already retired from FOXHOUND and the unit turns rogue under the leadership of Liquid Snake, with five other members involved in the terrorist activity. Although the unit is disbanded by the time of Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden is led to believe that he is serving a newly-reinstated FOXHOUND under the command of 'The Colonel' (an A.I. representation of Colonel Campbell controlled by The Patriots).
The FOX unit, a precursor to FOXHOUND led by Major Zero, is introduced in Metal Gear Solid 3 as the special forces unit Naked Snake (Big Boss) belonged to prior to forming FOXHOUND. The FOX unit turns renegade in Portable Ops under the leadership of Gene, leading to Naked Snake and his new partner Roy Campbell to form their own team of specialists, which forms the foundation of FOXHOUND.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, Meryl's squad, Rat Patrol Team 01 sport the FOXHOUND logo as a team emblem. The emblem is used purely out of nostalgia as the squad has no official attachment with FOXHOUND.
Outside the Metal Gear canon, FOXHOUND is mentioned in Snatcher as a military unit that JUNKER Chief Benson Cunningham previously served; and in Policenauts as Meryl's former unit (the character being the basis for the Meryl in Metal Gear Solid, has a paint tattoo of the team's original logo).
The Patriots
An illustrated depiction of the Wisemen's Committee mentioned in Metal Gear Solid 2. The original image in the game had their faces obscured.
The Patriots (愛国者達Aikokusha-tachi?),are a secretcabal, revealed in Metal Gear Solid 2, that control theUnited States of America.[5] The group is initially revealed as an inner circle consisting of twelve people known as the The Wisemen's Committee (賢人会議Kenjin Kaigi?). After Snake becomes a public hero in the aftermath of the Shadow Moses incident, the Patriots begin a smear campaign against him and frame him for blowing up an oil tanker in New York, and, according to Emma Emmerich, were responsible for fixing the Y2K problem. They initiate the construction of Arsenal Gear, and its A.I. GW, in order to censor the flow of digital information, and manipulate the events of the story through their trusted agent Revolver Ocelot. At the game's end, Snake acquires a disk containing the identities of the Wisemen's Committee and in the post-credits ending, Otacon examines the disk, stating that one of their members was a major supporter of Philanthropy, and that all twelve had been dead for 'about a hundred years.'
In Metal Gear Solid 3, the Wisemen's Committee are actually the founding members of The Philosophers (賢者達Kenja-tachi?), a preceding organization which was formed at the end of World War II when the leaders of the United States, China and Bolshevik Russia entered a secret pact with a stated purpose of pooling money to rebuild countries affected by the war. After the original Wisemen died during the 1930s, their followers began fighting amongst themselves to inherit 'The Philosophers' Legacy', a fund left by the original members, which becomes the central plot of MGS3. In the ending timeline, it is mentioned that the Patriots was formed by the American branch of The Philosophers after accumulating the missing fund. Oblivion goty iso.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, the founders of the Patriots are revealed to be Big Boss and Zero.
Nevertheless, the ending of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops reveals that Ocelot was ordered by a mysterious man to 'end' the American Philosophers. Ocelot kills his former employer, the DCI, and obtains documents containing the identities of the Philosophers, as well as the locations of their funds. The mysterious man contacts Ocelot and invites him to form part of his new organization, the Patriots. Ocelot agrees under the condition that Big Boss joins the organization as well.
In Metal Gear Solid 4, the mysterious man is identified as Major Zero, who formed the organization with Big Boss and Ocelot, along with EVA, Sigint and Para-Medic. The organization was formed to fulfill The Boss's ideal of a unified world. However, Zero, Para-Medic and Sigint eventually grew too powerful and greedy to control everything with Para-Medic as a morally corrupt medic within FOXHOUND and Sigint abusing his position at ARPA by accepting bribes. A fallout between Zero and Big Boss occurred due to each of them interpreting The Boss's will differently. Zero took the concept to mean control of the entire world by a group, to ensure unification. Big Boss believed that The Boss wanted a world where soldiers were not used as tools by the government. These differences led to the group being split into two factions: with Ocelot and EVA on Big Boss's side; and Sigint and Para-Medic working for Zero. Para-Medic is revealed to be Dr. Clark (although in Metal Gear Solid, Naomi refers to Dr. Clark as 'he', but this was as a result of a translation error from the original Japanese. In the MGS database, this is rectified by stating that Naomi never met Dr. Clark, nor knew her gender), a character mentioned in Metal Gear Solid, who was killed by the Cyborg Ninja prior to the events of that game. Sigint became the DARPA Chief, a minor character in Metal Gear Solid who was killed by Ocelot. (According to EVA—later called Big Mama—both killings were intentionally done for the 'pro-Big Boss' faction.) By the time of Metal Gear Solid 4, Zero is in a vegetative state, and the Patriots now consist of four computer AIs: GW, TJ, TR and AL (named after the U.S. Presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln), all controlled by a fifth proxy AI named JD (John Doe). Zero created these AIs to carry out his own will, due to his increasing age and his skepticism that human subordinates would be unable to do so. During the events of MGS2, the fourth AI, GW is completed. Over time, the system evolved from simply maintaining economic and political systems into creating an entirely new world order, one which is based on war economies, something not even Zero himself envisioned.
The Patriots' network is shut down by a computer worm that used GW as a conduit to access the others created by Naomi and Sunny. With the deaths of Zero and Big Boss during the game's surprise epilogue (from the FoxDie virus), the Patriots' demise is ensured and Big Boss realized that The Boss's dream was meant as words of wisdom as opposed to Zero's or Big Boss's original interpretations.
Philanthropy
Philanthropy is a U.N. recognized anti-Metal Gear organization founded by Nastasha Romanenko following the events of the original Metal Gear Solid. Its members consists of Solid Snake (the protagonist of the previous Metal Gear games), a former FOXHOUND operative, and Metal Gear REX designer Hal 'Otacon' Emmerich as well as Mei Ling who makes a cameo appearance via codec if the player saves the game thirteen times during the Tanker chapter. A large amount of the startup funds for the organization were provided by Nastasha Romanenko.
The Beauty and the Beast Corps
The Beauty and the Beast Unit is an all-female paramilitary force who serve as four of the game's bosses. Their animal names openly reference the members of FOXHOUND from Metal Gear Solid, and the emotions relating to the Cobra Unit from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The members are civilians who have suffered the chaotic effects of war and the affliction of post-traumatic stress disorder, who cope with the damage done to their minds by becoming war machines. Their inner appearance is referred to as 'Beauty', while their outer appearance is referred to as 'Beast'.
