| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:06:48 AM | Here are some official bio's of some of the MGS characters forward by Kojima. I thank Krinth (doing Natasha's bio) and SamuraiX (doing Ninja's bio) for helping out. Under each of the official bio's, I have included some of my notes, they are factual information. I have tried my best to not include theories on some of the characters. Some of my notes may explain certain things you can disregard in the official bio because Kojima had made changes to some of the MGS characters. Also my notes will explain other things that goes along with the MGSaga. I thank AuFox80 aka Knight for proof reading my notes for me. I have also typed up unofficial bio of MGS2 characters, again what I've typed in their bio's are facts. If I have typed theories (which I'm sure I did not for the characters from MGS2), then I'm sorry, just point it out, and next time I will correct it.

SOLID SNAKE [SSNA] A veteran ex-Fox-Hound member with an intelligence quotient of 180. Solid Snake's rather nomadic past existence and psychological profile made him perfect as a past deep operative. Previous missions have shown his exceptional ability to enter any enemy structure and compound under any situation (from jungle terrain to desert warfare). After being recruited for the Outer Heaven mission in the late 1990s. Solid Snake's subsequent success, professional approach to enemy disposal and dedication to the cause propelled the Fox-Hound organization into the spotlight throughout the world, enabling many more operatives to be hired. However, Solid Snake retired from the unit soon after the Outer Heaven crisis. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:07:12 AM | A man of Solid Snake's talents did not rest long, and was contracted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to become a deep cover agent. Not content with the bureaucracy surrounding the organization (Solid Snake's main concerns, which were expressed rather vocally, were met with an almost constant rebuttal), Solid Snake fought against the system before cutting with the CIA. He disappeared into the underworld, earning a living for a number of years as a mercenary and offering his execution duties and skills to the highest bidder. Earning enough money to semi-retire (and needing a lengthy pause after a number of despotic dictators and other men of dishonor were assassinated), Solid Snake moved to the Canadian wilderness, where he rehabilitated in deep seclusion. Only his old commander, Roy Campbell, knew of Solid Snake's whereabouts, and Campbell was quick to locate and hire him for a volatile situation that was developing in the Middle East. This was later codenamed the Uprising of Zanzibar. Solid Snake's mission was to infiltrate and bring down the military ruler ship of Zanzibar, along with its dictator, known only as Big Boss. After the apparent death of Big Boss and devolution of Zanzibar, Solid Snake returned to his solitary existence, this time retreating to a remote area in the Alaskan mountains called Twin Lakes (an area around 50 miles to the west of Mount McKinley). Finally at peace, Solid Snake resided in a small log cabin, living off the abundance of wild plants and wildlife. During this time, Solid Snake developed a particular taste for blueberries and salmonberries, and continued to block his mind from the past atrocities he had ensured. Not surprisingly, his past two missions had lead to a psychological disorder known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He experienced intense hallucination, guilt and flashbacks of the battlefield trauma, leading to increased mental confusion, a problem he attempted to banish by indulging in Huskie sleigh racing and befriending an Eskimo from the Yup'ik tribe, who helped to train the sleigh dogs. Solid Snake had just formally entered the Iditarod Trail Sleigh Race and was preparing himself and his hounds for the trek. However, government forces and Solid Snake's old commander intervened at the last minute. Solid Snake was recalled into active service for one final sortie. AC Kid's Notes: According to the last scene in MGS1, Snake's first name is David. Snake defeated his superior brother, Liquid Snake a hand full of times in MGS1, but never actually killed him; however, Snake proved that genes does not rule your fate, which was the theme of MGS1 (GENE) even though he was the inferior clone. After MGS1, Snake joined an anti-Metal Gear group called Philanthropy. As of now, the only known members are Nastasha, Otacon, and of course, Snake. They destroy Metal Gear variations in other countries, which is terrorism, a fact that Snake acknowledges. Snake went from a hero (by Nastasha's book) to a terrorist (by the Patriots) really quick. CQC? Snake knows CQB, whether those are the same or not, it remains to be seen. Snake knows CQC because of Big Boss; he didn't magically learn CQC through some dream. We know the Sons of Big Boss are born in 1972, so we know his exact age in each game. MG - 23 MG2:SS - 27 MGS1 - 33 MGS2 Tanker - 35 MGS2 Plant - 37 |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:07:52 AM | ROY CAMPBELL [RCAM] The original leader and commander of the Fox-Hound unit of special operatives. Despite retiring both from his Fox-Hound duties and active service over five years ago, he has been reinstated by the U.S. Government for one final (and unseen) mission. Various tactical forces are standing by (Special Forces infantry units, missile stations and a fleet of warships and submarines), but the White House and presidential advisors have deemed a surgical incision by one superbly trained assault soldier. This is the only way to thwart the Fox-Hound renegades and their almost impenetrable base. Roy Campbell's extensive strategic knowledge is without question, but the main reason for his reinstatement stems from his contact with Solid Snake. No other commander is able to reach Solid Snake, especially within the tight perimeters of this mission time. Campbell's friendship with Solid Snake also relates to the time when Roy was leading the Fox-Hound group, during which his cool exterior under pressure and previous service honors were well respected. Before joining the initial incarnation of Fox-Hound, Campbell served in the Marine Corps, Green Beret, and Delta Force. Once aboard the Fox-Hound unit, he was assigned to the strategic planning of "escape and evade" missions, simply because of his talents and experience. After the demise of Big Boss, Roy discarded the code name system for the unit's members, and instead concentrated on building up the "new" Fox-Hound's technological capacity. This included instructing operatives on the specifications and use of various pieces of hi-tech equipment, such as reconnaissance satellites. Soon after this overhaul, Campbell became increasingly troubled by the direction Fox-Hound was taking. Fox-Hound operatives were now being genetically treated and enhanced, and this lead to Campbell stepping down from the post of Commander. After being discharged, the commander less Fox-Hound returned to a code name system of operative recognition and became increasingly distant from the government control, shortly before a renegade splinter group was formed. Meanwhile, Campbell served as a special strategic instructor at a Marines' boot camp. At this time, he struck up a friendship with another veteran Master Miller. Upon Solid Snake's location, Campbell moved the entire operation to mission headquarters, an Ohio Class submarine off the coast of the Fox Archipelago. Though now a civilian, he returns for this last mission clad in his old military uniform (complete with beret). This operative also has a personal significance for him (possibly the main reason for handling the mission) because his niece, Meryl Silverburgh, is held captive on the island. AC Kid's Notes: After MGS1, Roy Campbell re-retired again, and it's highly possible that he is hiding from the Patriots. Also, since Campbell discarded the code-name system, it is possible that Solid Snake never received the "Boss" title because of this -- not that it matters, since Snake doesn't care for it. Note that Campbell is not really in MGS2, that was the Colonel, a part of GW, the AI. The Colonel never went by the name of Roy Campbell. After GW was corrupted, JFK, an AI from another Arsenal Gear took its place. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:08:17 AM | MEI LING [MLIN] Despite being born in the U.S., Mei Ling spent her earliest years in a Chinese settlement deep in the Kwangtung province. Influenced by numerous fighter-plane-pilot moves of the 1980s, she became increasingly interesting in in an Air Force career, moving to the U.S. to participate in the ROTC (Army Reserve Officer Training Corps) program at MIT and become an officer. Unfortunately for Mei Ling, she dropped out of the program due to a lack of self-confidence, difficulty in attaining high standards for the training, and poor eyesight (she wears contact lenses). Her blurred vision lead her to develop an inferiority complex, but it also increased her desire to develop a new radar system that would assist vision and thinking capabilities. her research lead to military interest, and she was hired for her expertise in image and data processing. She worked together with technicians at NOR (in Fort Mead, a Cold Weather Training Facility), and associated at ENPIC, specializing in image processing and electronic and communicative espionage with the use of spy satellites. Mei Ling now works in unison with Commander Campbell and the rest of the crew at the submarine headquarters, her role being the managing and transferal of communicative data processing from home base to espionage agent (in this case, Solid Snake), and the transcription of the field operative's incoming messages. She also developed the new communication equipment and radar system implemented by Solid Snake in this mission, the most important of which is the Codec. Mei Ling, however, is shy and finds it difficult to interact with people and previous operatives, covering her reticence with enthusiastic but unimportant conversation, as well as Chinese sayings to suit the situation. Her affinity for Solid Snake leads her to take another role: to create a relaxed and friendly voice and lessen the stress of the battlefield environment. In return, Commander Campbell has hinted that Solid Snake will attempt to teach her what "real espionage" and "communication with people" actually mean. AC Kid's Notes: Not much can be said about this woman, but in MGS2, Mei Ling supplies Snake and Otacon with some goodies, and makes a vocal appearance during the Tanker Chapter. Could she be a member of Philanthropy? Maybe, but we may find out in MGS4 if she is coming back. CODEC Codifying Satellite Communication System used by Solid Snake, incorporating anti-wiring coding, digital real-time burst communication, sonar utilizing and radar. A normal communication (over ten seconds) is instantly codified, compressed and transmitted in a burst one microsecond in length. It is received in real time, unscrambled and decoded. It is incomparably more innovative than the conventional anti-wiring frequency scrambler. The 24-hour system that is unaffected by weather is made possible by integrating information from high-altitude reconnaissance satellites and low-altitude reconnaissance planes. However, environmental harmonic resonance, enemy discovery and very low structures over the operative have caused substantial interference in past testing. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:08:56 AM | NAOMI HUNTER [NHUN] According to government records obtained from Doctor Naomi, her Japanese grandfather was an aid to J. Edgar Hoover (Director of FBI, 1924-1972) in the Federal Bureau of Investigations for the years 1930-1950. With her father in such a position of authority, Hunter soon realized a similar ambition after leaving college - she went to work for the Tokyo Police Bureau Police Science Laboratory where she specialized in DNA testing. After a problem with the validity of some forms of the testing, Doctor Naomi became increasingly depressed by the weak organization of the department and the lack of precision in the DNA testing itself, leading to her departure soon after. Quitting the Tokyo Police lead Doctor Naomi to begin work as a genetic counselor at a gene diagnosis firm. But as before, she felt a paradox between her work with gene therapy and the natural order of life (especially regarding the patients she was treating with untested therapies), and after six months she resigned her position amid investigation regarding her parents and family. Hunter emigrated to the U.S., where she joined a biotech business giant ATGC in Biotech Bay, California. Returning to her main love of research, she indulged in gene therapy and discovered a way to use a gene (a spreading agent) as a vector without using viruses or ribosomes. The upshot of this is that she was able to isolate and reprogram certain genes in order to produce a heightened sense of awareness necessary for combat, a fighting operative known as the Genome Soldier. Her work was acknowledged and she was then recruited as a freelance member of the Fox-Hound medical staff. She also continued her biotech research, working in conjunction with ATGC (who provided financial aid and cooperation) and the Pentagon on the Genome Army project after the National Institute of Health lowered the budget for the clinical testing of gene therapy. With a beautiful brown-skinned complexion, a soft-spoken (almost English) accent, and a relaxed but firm attitude to her employment, her gene strengthening team affectionately call her Doctor Naomi rather than the more formal Doctor Hunter. A strong-willed woman, she recently took complete charge of upgrading and maintaining the genetically altered Fox-Hound members. Once every six months, she integrates any newly discovered Soldier genes through gene therapy to all team members and conducts additional programming. This is achieved by implementing Hunter's newly discovered spreading gene to be used as a vector, as well as gene targeting method. Currently, she has been pulled off her research on "symmetrism" (a genetic disease and byproduct of gene therapy that has caused certain Genome soldiers to die) in order to add invaluable knowledge. She has applied gene therapy to many of the Fox-Hound defectors, and the U.S. government has deemed her services invaluable. AC Kid's Notes: The real Naomi Hunter was in fact a doctor, but the part about her grandfather is not true. The fake Hunter, Gray Fox's "sister," added that story in her background. She joined FOXHOUND to get her revenge on Snake. Richard Ames was in charge of FoxDie development, and Naomi injected FoxDie into Snake. Given this killer virus, and knowing who she had to inject it in, she changed the FoxDie programming to randomly kill Snake. It was the best revenge she thought of before injecting it into Snake. In the Darkness of Shadow Moses stated that after the incident on Shadow Moses, Naomi was taken in by the government. Three weeks later, someone rescued her, indirectly hinted at Snake, but we know full well it was Snake. He was the only one with the motive to pull this off. Snake, like Naomi have forgiven one another, and it was the best thing Snake can do for her -- giving her a second chance. Naomi had already suffered a lot, and now from the looks of the MGS4 concept artwork, Naomi seems to be hiding from the Patriots. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:09:32 AM | MERYL SILVERBURGH [MSIL] Born to a house and family of military tradition, Meryl trained herself to become a solider form her earliest formative years. Unlike many children of military personnel, she had no desire to break away from the regulation and pursue a less rigorous existence, having been raised as a soldier for as long as she can remember. Despite her delicate stature, she handles a Desert Eagle pistol with only one hand, and her life's devotion landed her a job as a combat agent for Fox-Hound. Prior to her first assignment for the organization, she was genetically engineered to be superior soldier, but her only battle experience has been simulations (much like the defector Genome guards that are guarding the Shadow Moses base). Roy Campbell's favorite niece, Meryl Silverburgh was a newly appointed operative, and was actually assigned to Shadow Moses Island on the very day of the terrorist insurrection. Tension built as she was caught in the middle of the uprising, and is thought to be imprisoned somewhere in the base, possibly as a hostage. She has a Codec, but her lack of distress responses concerns all present at the operation headquarters, especially Commander Campbell. The strict military upbringing disabled all thoughts of falling in love (indeed, Meryl received minor genetic treatment to prevent her from showing deep affection), but a final radio transmission from her indicated that her natural Alaskan surroundings were beginning to have an effect on her values and view of life. AC Kid's Notes: Meryl's ending was the official ending for MGS1, and no, Otacon didn't die in her ending. According to Snake, they broke up shortly after the incident on Shadow Moses. There were 2 hints in MGS2, go find them. According to Otacon's ending, Roy Campbell was going to reveal the truth about him being her actual father when the mission was over, could it still be canon? Maybe, no words have been said about that, but in one of Snake Tales in Substance, Campbell was brought up again to be her father. NATASHA ROMANENKO [NROM] Born in the Ukraine in the 1970s. Miss Romanenko was ten years old on April 26, 1986 (at 1:23:40 a.m. she told authorities), when her entire family was showered with radiation and nuclear contaminated fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear power-plant disaster. Her hometown was three kilometers from the epicenter. In the cleanup that followed, both her parents (who helped in the decontamination) were exposed to lethal levels of radioactivity and died, leading her to abandon her roots and emigrate to the U.S. Ten years later, her hometown was severely polluted, the deep soil was still radiated, and agriculture of all kinds still prohibited. Sterility, thyroid problems, and other unknown symptoms blighted those few remaining people. Despite rudimentary treatment, cancer diagnosis was not conducted and medical care not given. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:10:10 AM | Enraged by the situation, detesting nuclear weapons, and secretly praying for their abolition, Miss Romanenko worked her way through college, and eventually landed a job at the Pentagon. She opposed the nuclear deterrence theory that prevailed after World War II, opposed strategic arms reduction proposals (such as SALT and START), and remained firmly behind her ideals of total nuclear abolition. She moved to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and then to the National Security Agency (NSA). During this time, she assisted in a number of high security matters. [CLASSIFIED MOST SECRET] The end of the Cold War lead to Natasha [sic] leaving her post due to downsizing. She and other military analysts (who were dubbed military archeologists by an unkind media, as their primary task was to excavate the remains of the Cold War) left to pursue independent analytical freelance work, and Natasha [sic] moved to Los Angeles. During stretches of time when work was scarce, she enjoyed writing for a couple of information magazines and a U.S. Naval journal. In 1996, she attended the Canberra Committee, the world's first nationally hosted nuclear weapons abolition proposal group. Her past analytical work allowed her to provide detailed explanations and information on nuclear weapons, including handling practices and capabilities. Two days ago, Miss Romanenko was called upon to provide support data for Solid Snake in this operation. Her computer hacking skills have allowed her to infiltrate the mercenary/criminal databanks of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO), and she may be able to locate background data for the various Fox-Hound renegades Solid Snake encounters. Her knowledge of police data allows her to touch upon the newest information regarding mercenaries and criminals throughout the world. She also acts as a counselor from the Nuclear Energy Survey Team (NEST), informing Solid Snake of the hazards involved with nuclear weaponry. She also shares his love of cigarettes and is a heavy smoker herself. AC Kid's Notes: Nastasha was married to Richard Ames, who was by her side the whole time during MGS1 according to In the Darkness of Shadow Moses. The Patriots wanted to cover up Shadow Moses with FoxDie, which they did with making Snake a vector, but how did the words get out to the public? It was Ames who let Nastasha go with an optical disc that holds the information on Shadow Moses, FoxDie, Solid Snake, everything – it even talks about the Patriots. Because of this, Ames was of no use to the Patriots, but they kept him alive for S3 plan. Before MGS2 started, Nastasha was able to get her story published and reveal to the public about what really happened on Shadow Moses Island. If you look closely at Snake's bio in MGS4 trailer when Metal Gear MK2 scanned Snake, you can read on the screen that it was Nastasha who leads Philanthropy, also she is still a heavy smoker. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:10:49 AM | OTACON [OTAC] The ArmsTech Metal Gear Project chief engineer, Emmerich is soft-spoken with small round spectacles and a friendly nature , which is belie his true path in life - that of weapon development. He did not attend school but studied through the Internet and matriculated at MIT. He earned his Ph.D. in his early twenties, previously earning his bachelor's and master's degrees at Princeton, a genius at almost too early an age. In his college years, he formulated a fool-proof program to solve the year 2000 digit changing problem in computers (many internal clocks would have reverted back to 1900 instead of 2000) and drew major attention, even being hailed by some of his contemporaries as the savior of the computer world. He envisioned the idea, but didn't patent it and thus earned no money from it. Note that Emmerich was severely reprimanded by his university and lost his first job for hacking into the DARPA mainframe (DARPA researchers started the internet in 1969 for communications purposes), an ironic past misdemeanor given the current Armstech and DARPA inter-relations. Amidst this intelligence lies a subconscious of fear and loathing for weapons. Emmerich's grandfather was also a scientist who took part in the Manhattan Project. Emmerich is well aware of his grandfather's agony of seeing what he created being used as a weapon, and he told Otacon of this immensely traumatic experience. Ironically, his father was born on the same day as the nuclear weapon A-bombs were dropped on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945). As he continues his Metal Gear Rex project for Armstech, he becomes increasingly aware that three generations of his family spent their lives in the shadow of nuclear weapons. He is caught in between his interest as a scientist and the idea that his technologies are used as a weapon to kill thousands of innocents. Emmerich's family dominated and immersed into all facets of technology; they even named their son Hal, after the computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, (Emmerich's father watched the movie shortly before his son was born.) Emmerich hates his name, and asks to be called Otacon. This nickname expresses Emmerich's love of Japanimation (Japanese animation of Anime). His nickname Otacon stems from Otaku Convention, anime tradeshows in Japan and the U.S., an is slang for the fanatics attending such events, of which Emmerich is a regular participant. Emmerich's real reason for joining the Metal Gear project was due to his love of robotic animation. Emmerich created a radio-controlled drone Mech, which he called t Metal Gear MK2. In his MIT years, this experiment impressed the FBI and he was recruited to the Engineering research Facility (ERF). He joined Armstech and developed Metal Gear as an MTMD (Mobile Theater Missile Defense) but didn't know of the Metal Gear's true ordinance (the Rail Gun unit and new nuclear warhead). He is worried that the fake nuclear warhead launch experiment which he has perfected my actually be used for mass destruction. Status: Single Age: 30s Nationality: American (Jewish) Height: 177cm AC Kid's Notes: So he built Metal Gear MK2 before MGS1?!?! I was surprised as well, and it (well I'm sure it's not the same model) is being used in MGS4, what a joy! We all know about Otacon's family history, so we can skip that. After MGS1, Otacon is said to have gone back to England for a while to visit some family members, soon after that Philanthropy was formed. He has a sister (not blood related), who also "joined" up in their family dark history. Emma Emmerich developed Arsenal Gear's AI, GW and a disc that could corrupt GW. The Patriots used it as a fail safe incase Solidus could use GW and learn about their location. In MGS4, Otacon will use Metal Gear MK2 to help Snake, note that Otacon is still close by in a hidden location as he controls Metal Gear MK2. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:11:27 AM | REVOLVER OCELOT [ROCE] After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ocelot joined a Russian police storming party. Then, his special skills were recognized and he was transferred to the special tactics division of the SVR, which was formerly the KGB Administration Headquarters' number one special operations team. However, he did not adapt well to the old KGB system, finding his unorthodox style at odds with the old culture and pomp of the Russian Secret Service (SVR members called themselves the "forest" and the "office"). Unsure of his next actions, Revolver Ocelot was head hunted by the U.S. and joined Fox-Hound soon after. He engaged in combat operations spanning most of Africa and Central Asia including Afghanistan, Eritrea, Mozambique and the other local areas of dispute. His work with Big Boss (who was running his mercenary business in Africa) gained him notoriety from other operatives, who remarked on Ocelot's gun skill. During his Afghan days, his helicopter was shot down by Afghan guerrillas; he still sports a wound from this battle. A torture maniac, Revolver Ocelot has another name, Shalashaska, Russian prisoner slang for "prison," received after his infamous stint as a special interrogator advisor in the Spetsnaz. Ocelot is also a gun freak that adores watching cowboy movies and spaghetti Westerns. He uses a revolver whenever he engages in combat, shooting with one hand (Western style). His revolver is an old style gun with art carvings. While fighting, he talks about details of the revolver, all the time showing amazing gunplay. He always thinks of the ricochet angle when firing and hates wasting bullets. His other "hobby" is torturing. He uses an old model electrocution torture device (invented by the French). Since the Spetsnaz belonged to the GRU (the Soviet military information division). He began hating the conspiring KGB. He also has connections to the Russian Mafia. In fact, it was his connections that enabled the renegades to obtain Russian ordinance and vehicles, such as Hind D (as Russia would sell almost anything to obtain foreign currencies). He reports to Russia, but the latest information states that Ocelot may be working for another unknown organization AC Kid's Notes: Ocelot...so much can be added to Ocelot. A loyal agent of the Patriots, since the beginning he worked for the CIA and the U.S. division of the Philosophers. In MGS1, Solidus Snake "used" Ocelot to provoke Liquid Snake, and the Patriots used Solidus' plan to their advantage. Ocelot's real role on Shadow Moses was to obtain the optical disc that contained the battle data on REX and sell it on the black market, so the Patriots can get their money back spent on REX. Ocelot goes way back with the Snakes, he fought with their father, Big Boss. Ocelot looks up to Big Boss as a role model and a rival at the time of Operation Snake Eater. One of the main reasons why Ocelot enlisted in FOXHOUND was because he wanted to be in the same group Big Boss was in, but he died before he joined up. Liquid was the next best thing, and that is probably why Ocelot is Solidus' "right hand" man. Ocelot's age was changed in MGS3, according to this bio, it said Ocelot was in his 50s in MGS1, but if you do the math, Ocelot was born in 1944, which makes him 20 years old in MGS3. Ocelot is a little older in MGS1, in his early 60s. Also noting that the Ninja took Ocelot's arm in MGS1; originally in MGS2, Ocelot was supposed to have a mechanical arm, but Kojima changed that and gave Ocelot Liquid's arm instead. For additional information, check Lionhart's sticky topic. |
| AC Kid Posted 2/11/2006 3:12:07 AM | NINJA [NINJ] Frank Jaeger was born in the 1970s, his parents unknown. He was found in Vietnam by Big Boss, and raised as a war orphan. Big Boss spent years training the Ninja into a supremely destructive killing machine, fully fluent in languages and colloquialisms. He became a mercenary in his teens and experience various wars. One of these was the Rhodesia Independence War, during which he discovered an orphan baby by the Zambezi River; he named her Naomi and took her to safety. Jaeger was then captured and became a POW in Mozambique. Extreme and bloody torture followed, Jaeger's ears and nose were cut off, and his face was badly scarred. It was only the intervention by Big Boss' mercenaries that saved him. He then moved to the U.S. with his adopted sister and joined Fox-Hound, achieving U.S. citizenship. Working closely with Big Boss through the 1990s, his valor earned him the highest commendation possible, the name Gray Fox. This title was proven beyond doubt during the Outer Heaven Crisis in the mid 1990s, when he conducted a solo infiltration and succeeded in obtaining classified Metal Gear information. After Big Boss was discharged from Fox-Hound, Jaeger disappeared in similar circumstances, but resurfaced in Zanzibar. He was defeated by Solid Snake, and was thought to have perished. Jaeger survived the Uprising of Zanzibar, but lost a third of his body. He was saved by being immediately transplanted into a strengthened exoskeleton (called an actuator) under development by the military. He was used as an experimental subject for the gene therapy testing prior to the Genome soldiers. For the continuation of such experiments, he was drugged, his conscience coming back only 10 percent of the time. Otherwise, he was unable to remember his actions until the drugs wore off, after which Jaeger writhed in agony until sedated. His strong will to fight Snake was the driving force that kept him alive. Recent reports have linked Jaeger to a mysterious Ninja. Clad in optic camouflage, the Ninja executed a Medical Officer of Fox-Hound prior to the mission. The Ninja's actuator suit utilizes a supersonic motor that operates with high-frequency voltage. When the wearer changes position, minute electric currents in the muscle are detected and utilized to control the actuating section, giving better-than-human agility. Not an official member of Fox-Hound, the Ninja may be working with them. Jaeger also used a famous pseudonym in previous Codec calls. Weapon Profile Specs: Chokuto Sword Material: Tempered high carbon spring steel - Blade Length: 29 3/4" - Handle Length: 11" - Weight: 3.75 lbs. An enhanced replica of an 8th-century blade fashioned for the Emperor Shomu, the original weapon was stolen from the Imperial repository in Nara three years ago. These Chokuto swords have no curvature and were originally fashioned in a wood grain pattern. Immensely sharp, this particular weapon has been seen to split apart sheet metal. Real Name: Frank Jaeger - Sex: Male - Status: Single - Age: Details Unknown (30s) - Nationality: American (Half Vietnamese, Half German-American) - Height: 181 cm - Additional: Unknown operative. Possible mercenary. Approach with extreme caution. Superhuman stealth and combat capabilities. |
