List of characters in Metal Gear Solid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 209.137.144.70 (talk) at 22:05, 11 November 2009 (→‎Vulcan Raven). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of characters appearing in the video game Metal Gear Solid (and, by extension, its remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes). All characters were created by Hideo Kojima and designed by Yoji Shinkawa;[1] who has designed the characters for all subsequent Metal Gear Solid games. Most of the original American voice cast were initially credited under pseudonyms since they did not know if the project was supported by the Screen Actors Guild or not.[2] The only ones who used their real names were David Hayter (Solid Snake) and Doug Stone (Psycho Mantis).

Metal Gear Solid was the first game in the Metal Gear series to feature fully voiced characters and 3D graphics,[3] whereas Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake both showed conversation either over a voiceless radio or via text displayed on-screen. The graphics in the previous two installments were 8-bit,[4] rendering the characters in a 2D form.[5] The 2004 remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, featured updated graphics using the graphical engine of the Nintendo GameCube. This meant that the graphics for the remake rendered the characters in a similar way to that of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.[6]

Main characters

Solid Snake

Main article: Solid Snake

Solid Snake (voiced by David Hayter in the English language releases and by Akio Otsuka in Japanese) is the central character of Metal Gear Solid, as well as the previous games. He is sent into the Shadow Moses facility in order to rescue the captive DARPA Chief Donald Anderson and ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker,[7] and later to eliminate the nuclear threat posed by the latest incarnation of Metal Gear,[8] Metal Gear REX. He eliminates every member of FOXHOUND (with the exception of Revolver Ocelot) and destroys Metal Gear REX.[9] His physique was based on Jean Claude Van Damme, while his facial appearance was originally based on Christopher Walken.[10][11]

Meryl Silverburgh

Further information: [[:Meryl Silverburgh]]

Meryl Silverburgh (voiced by Debi Mae West and Kyoko Terase) serves as Solid Snake's sidekick and love interest in Metal Gear Solid. She is Roy Campbell's daughter (first thought to be niece, before Campbell reveals his affair with Meryl's mother), and a member of the "Next Generation Special Forces" (reserve members of FOXHOUND).[12] During the mission she is captured and subjected to torture and "things even worse than that".[13][14] In the end she escapes with Snake. If you submit in the torture mini-game, then she dies at the end of the game, which is the non-canonical ending.[15]

Grey Fox

Further information: [[:Grey Fox]]

Grey Fox (voiced by Greg Eagles (original), Rob Paulsen (The Twin Snakes) and Kaneto Shiozawa) appears in the form of the cyborg ninja. Wearing an exoskeleton and wielding a katana, his real name Frank Jaeger. Gray Fox assists Snake in his mission under the alias "Deepthroat". Grey Fox is a character that debuted in Metal Gear 2 where he had a duel to the death with Snake in which neither man uses weapons but his own two hands. He is then revived and placed in an exoskeleton. He becomes obsessed with fighting Snake again and meets him on the battlefield amidst the chaos of Shadow Moses.

Hal "Otacon" Emmerich

Further information: [[:Hal Emmerich]]

Hal "Otacon" Emmerich (voiced by Christopher Randolph and Hideyuki Tanaka) appears in Metal Gear Solid as the designer of Metal Gear REX and captive at Shadow Moses. He was told that REX was to be a anti-nuclear weapon designed to disable such weapons. After the Metal Gear's completion he is told the truth and imprisoned. Following being rescued by Snake from Gray Fox, Otacon offers him support via Codec, as he wished to destroy what he created, as he supporter of anti-nuclear proliferation.[16] While he was captured, Otacon developed an infatuation with FOXHOUND member Sniper Wolf,[17] who is later killed by Solid Snake.[18] His first name "Hal" is based on that of the computer Hal 9000 from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, notably also, the main character Solid Snake's real name "David" came from 2001: A Space Odyssey's main character David Bowman.[19]

FOXHOUND

Main article: List of characters in the Metal Gear series § FOXHOUND

Liquid Snake

Liquid Snake (voiced by Cam Clarke and Banjo Ginga) serves as the main antagonist against Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid. The genetic twin of Solid Snake,[20] Liquid was moved and raised in the UK following his birth and served the British SAS during The Gulf War before becoming the field commander of FOXHOUND following Solid Snake's retirement after the events of Metal Gear 2. In the events of the story, Liquid poses as Snake's former survival coach Master Miller and tricks Snake into activating the new version of Metal Gear, Metal Gear REX.[21] After this the entire final act of the game involves Snake and Liquid fighting, first with Liquid piloting REX,[9] secondly in a bare handed fist fight,[22] and finally in a car chase before Liquid is killed by the FOXDIE virus.[23] Following his appearance in Metal Gear Solid Liquid was named the "Greatest Villain of All Time" by IGN.[24]

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 carry on Big Boss' legacy.[25] 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. [26]

Revolver Ocelot

Main article: Ocelot (Metal Gear)

Revolver Ocelot (voiced by Patric Zimmerman and Koji Totani) is introduced in Metal Gear Solid and is a Russian gunslinger who specializes in interrogation.[27] He serves as Liquid's right hand man and encounters Snake twice, the first time while Snake is attempting to rescue ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker,[28] the second time is when Ocelot tortures Snake while he is captured.[29] Once the mission is complete he is the sole survivor of the FOXHOUND unit. After the game credits have rolled it is revealed through a one-way phone call that Ocelot is secretly a double agent sent in by the US President to recover REX's dummy warhead data.[30] His appearance is based on that of veteran Western film actor Lee Van Cleef.[31]

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.[32][33][34] Though snipers usually work in pairs, Sniper Wolf works alone.[35] She is also another "disciple" of Big Boss, the antagonist from the previous two Metal Gear games.[36] 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,[37] in the second battle she is killed.[18] 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.

The initial game plan for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty reveals that Sniper Wolf was to make a voice only cameo via the Cyborg Ninja featured in that game. The situation was that when Otacon would interact with the Ninja, she would respond in Wolf's voice, however this idea was later dropped.[38] Despite this she appears in a flashback when Otacon is reminiscing over why he always survives when people he loves die. The huskies she cared for are heard in the background of this flashback the same way they are heard before all the fights with Sniper Wolf (They are also heard after she is defeated by Solid Snake) The flashback uses actual footage from the first game.[39]

According to an IGN interview with Yoji Shinkawa, Sniper Wolf was originally intended to be a man, but when Shinkawa suggested to game creator Hideo Kojima that Wolf be a young lady Kojima thought it to be a much better idea.[40] A subsequent interview with Shinkawa revealed that the Sniper Wolf character is still popular amongst the staff at Konami.[41] Another example of her popularity was that during an online critics poll, she was named the "12th greatest video game boss of all time", amongst her FOXHOUND peers and her death scene is still considered one of the saddest scenes in all of gaming.[42]

In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Liquid Ocelot creates a new team of mercenaries called the B&B Corps, which is modeled after the four Foxhound unit members. Her successor in this group is Crying Wolf. Sniper Wolf is also seen in flashbacks during the game Hal makes a reference to her after the battle with Crying Wolf. Both Sniper and Crying Wolf are sharpshooters among their group.

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.[43]

When Solid Snake faces Mantis, Mantis demonstrates his psychic powers by breaking the fourth wall. In the pre-battle cut-scene, he reads the player's memory card and comments on how often you saved the game and your preference on certain other games. In the original PlayStation game, he reads off the titles of Konami's other games (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Suikoden, Silent Hill among others), while in the remake Twin Snakes, he reads Nintendo's games (Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, among others).[44] He then demonstrates his psychokinesis by telling the player to put down the controller and then activating the controller's rumble feature, causing it to move sideways (if the controller was placed on a flat and level surface). Then, at the beginning of the actual battle, Mantis causes the screen to go completely black except for the words "HIDEO" (referring to the game's developer, Hideo Kojima) in green, capital text in the top right corner of the screen, much like older Sony TV or VCR on-screen displays, in an attempt to throw the player off.[45]

After his defeat at Snake's hands, Mantis describes Snake as having no future (referring to Snake's genetic inability to procreate as well as his premature aging). He also describes how he destroyed his hometown out of fear of his father killing him, stating that he shares this trauma with Snake, as Snake "killed" his own father in previous games. He also describes with disgust the unanimous human desire to procreate. Mantis is nearly attacked by Meryl when he confesses that he only used FOXHOUND's revolt as an excuse to kill people. Snake removes his mask, revealing that his face is disfigured. After clearing a path for Snake and Meryl and requesting to have his mask put back on, he dies, reflecting on how good it felt to use his power to help someone else.

During the battle he reads from the players controller to counter and dodge any attack used against him (this can be combated if the player switches controller ports). Psycho Mantis was named the "Second greatest boss" by Electronic Gaming Monthly in their 200th issue.[46]

He reappears in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and performs similar fourth wall breaking acts. In this game, Liquid Ocelot forms another group of mercenaries (the B&B Corps) based on the four Foxhound unit members, Psycho Mantis is succeeded in this group by Screaming Mantis. Drebin reveals that Psycho Mantis' personality was implanted into Screaming Mantis using nanomachines and hypnotherapy (not unlike how Ocelot impersonated Liquid) and that Screaming Mantis controls the other B&B members and the bodies of living people in a similar way that Psycho Mantis controlled others by using the nanomachiens in their bodies using a doll shaped in Psycho Mantis' likeness. Drebin also claims that that Screaming Mantis herself is controlled by Psycho Mantis' spirit/personality. Psycho Mantis himself appears in ghost form as he attempts the same stunts as his original appearance, only to find that they no longer work due to the lack of a memory card and the rumble feature. However if the scene is played with a Dualshock 3 controller, he will comment gleefully on how "Vibration is back!"

If you shoot the Psycho Mantis doll from Screaming Mantis, Old Snake can then use it throughout the game as a weapon. The Psycho Mantis doll controls the nanomacheines in soldiers when fired upon. The soldiers seem to be magically raised into the air and can be shaken free of items with the PS3 controller's manipulatable axis. This represents Psycho Mantis' ability to control living targets. Obtaining this doll is key in defeating Screaming Mantis.

In Super Smash Bros Brawl in one of Snake's codec conversations on Ness from EarthBound, Snake compares him to Mantis.

IGN ranked Psycho Mantis the sixth most memorable villain in gaming, calling him one of the stranger bosses in the Metal Gear series.[47]

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.[48][49] In Metal Gear Solid he does battle with Snake twice, the first battle with Raven in an M1 Abrams tank,[50] 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.[51]

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the player can find an action figure of Raven in the Tanker Chapter as Snake. Shooting the figure causes it to fire what looks to be plastic pellets from the minigun. The same figure can also be seen floating in the water during the section in the Plant Chapter where Raiden goes to the flooded section of the Shell 2 Core to rescue Emma Emmerich.[52]

In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Liquid Ocelot forms a mercenary group called the B&B Corps which is comprised of members based on the Foxhound unit members. Vulcan Raven is succeeded by Raging Raven, sharing both title and some personality traits such as anger and the use of explosive weapons.

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,[51][53] and is killed by the FoxDie virus.[54] 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.

In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Liquid Ocelot forms another group of mercenaries (the B&B Corps) modeled after the Foxhound unit members. Decoy Octopus is succeeded in this group by Laughing Octopus, both have Octopus in their title and are masters of deception, Laughing Octopus also has the ability to impersonate the appearance of others using Octocamo.

Supporting characters

Roy Campbell

Further information: [[:Roy Campbell]]

Roy Campbell (voiced by Paul Eiding and Takeshi Aono) appears in Metal Gear Solid as Snake's commanding officer and former commander of FOXHOUND,[55] he comes out of retirement to command Solid Snake once again. Campbell has more of a personal stake in the mission, as his niece (later revealed to be his daughter), Meryl Silverburgh, is held captive by FOXHOUND.[56] 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,[57] until, finally, Campbell is briefly arrested. However, he is exonerated after Solid Snake defeats Liquid Snake.[58] In the epilogue, Campbell reveals that the government has been using Meryl's life as a bargaining chip all along, causing him to reluctantly betray Snake.

Master Miller

Further information: [[:Master Miller]]

Master Miller (voiced by Cam Clarke and Banjo Ginga) appears in Metal Gear Solid as one of Snake's support via Codec.[59] He provides you with information on how to move more quietly and other sneaking skills. However you can't get his help whenever Liquid is up to something in the story. It is revealed however that the real Master Miller (featured in Metal Gear 2) was killed and that it is really Liquid Snake posing as Miller.[21] This can be gathered towards the end of the game, when Master's voice switches somewhat between Liquid's accent and his own. It is also evidenced by Master knowing some things about Snake that he was never told.

Mei Ling

Further information: [[:Mei Ling]]

Mei Ling (voiced by Kim Mai Guest and Houko Kuwashima) is the data analyst in charge of saving the player's mission data in Metal Gear Solid.[60] She is the one who invented Snake's wireless communication equipment, the Codec, as well the Soliton Radar, which detects the positions and field of vision of nearby enemy soldiers.[61] Every time Snake saves his data, Mei Ling provides him with advice through Chinese proverbs (as well as quotations from Western authors).

Naomi Hunter

Further information: Naomi Hunter

Naomi Hunter (voiced by Jennifer Hale and Hiromi Tsuru) is the head of FOXHOUND's medical staff, and part of the support crew assembled to assist Solid Snake during the Shadow Moses Island incident (the events of Metal Gear Solid) in 2005.[62] It is revealed however that she is secretly Gray Fox's adoptive sister,[63] and she is out for revenge on Snake.[64] She injects Snake with the FoxDie virus, but she set it to a "wildcard" value, sparing Snake's life during the mission, but leaving him vulnerable during the events of Metal Gear Solid 4.[65] She too was going to make a voice only cameo via the Cyborg Ninja in Metal Gear Solid 2 when conversing with Snake.[38]

Nastasha Romanenko

Nastasha Romanenko (voiced by Renee Raudman and Eiko Yamada) is Solid Snake's codec contact on matters related to nuclear weapons.[66] 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.[39] 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.[38] 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,[39] Tomokazu Fukushima, the co-writer of the Metal Gear Solid series.

While Nastasha herself does not make an appearance in Metal Gear Solid 4, she is referenced as having given Otacon information regarding the Gekkos Snake confronts in the later half of the game.

However he is killed by the FoxDie virus.[54] 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).[67] He makes only one appearance at the end of Metal Gear Solid, via CODEC, where he orders the Shadow Moses base to be bombed.[68] According to In the Darkness of Shadow Moses, Houseman commits suicide following the events of Metal Gear Solid, however Nastasha suggests he was murdered.[15]

Big Boss

Main article: Big Boss (Metal Gear)

Big Boss was the main antagonist of the Metal Gear series prior to Metal Gear Solid. He appeared in Metal Gear as FOXHOUND's commanding officer and sends Solid Snake into Outer Heaven, a fortified nation in South Africa, to destroy TX-55 Metal Gear.

The only reason I exist is so they could create you. // Snake: I was the favorite, huh. // Liquid: That's right! I'm just the leftovers of what they used to make you.

Some warped kind of love. // Liquid: Love!? It's hate!! He always told me I was inferior and now I'll have my revenge!! You should understand me, brother. You killed our father with your own hands! You stole my chance for revenge! Now I'll finish the work that father began. I will surpass him... I will destroy him! (Metal Gear Solid)
