| Every great story has a great hero... this is no exception. SOLID SNAKE Known as the man who makes the impossible possible, the legendary hero who lives by the codename "Solid Snake" is an enigmatic figure, living half in shadow and half buried in his own mythology. As a rookie, Snake was a FOXHOUND operative chosen to infiltrate the fortress Outer Heaven and destroy a new super weapon called Metal Gear. Little did he know that the person who sent him into the espionage nightmare was none other than his own superior, the man with the codename "Big Boss." After successfully destroying Metal Gear, Snake retired from FOXHOUND and spent some time as a CIA agent and mercenary for hire. Then his former commander, Roy Campbell, recalled him for another operation in the Middle East. Snake's mission involved deposing the rising dictator of Zanzibar Land, who turned out to be none other than Big Boss himself. Before defeating Big Boss for good, Snake learned that the super soldier was his genetic "father." Snake returned to his Canadian wilderness retreat and tried to drown his shameful past in bottle after bottle. But when members of unit FOXHOUND took over the nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island, Campbell came calling for Snake again. This time, Snake found himself pitted against otherworldy super beings enhanced by genetic tampering. The leader of FOXHOUND was revealed to be "liquid Snake," Solid Snake's own genetic brother and the spoiled outcast of the "Les Enfants Terrible" super soldier project. After destroying the new Metal Gear REX and eliminating Liquid during an intense car chase, Snake went into deep hiding. |
