Big Boss (Metal Gear)

The Big Boss is a male video game character who features in Metal Gear Solid.

Biography

The Big Boss (Japanese: ビッグ・ボス, Hepburn: Biggu Bosu) was a male human born in 1935 where he had a military career that stretched to the 1950's where he became a disciple of the Boss. He came to join the Boss in June 1950 where they fought in the Korean War. During that time, the Boss taught him everything relating to combat, martial arts, weaponry, survival, espionage, psychology and foreign languages. Over time, he came to respect the Boss and revered her not only as a mentor but a kind of parental figure. Despite their time together, the two would part ways on June 12, 1959.

By 1964, he was recruited into a CIA special forces unit called FOX founded by Zero and e went under the codename of Naked Snake (ネイキッド・スネーク, Neikiddo Sunēku).

In time, Zero came to fear losing Big Boss and decided to enact a secret project called Les Enfants Terribles whereby the soldiers DNA was used to create genetically enhanced soldiers. A number of clones of the Big Boss were thus created with these including Solid Snake, Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake who were collectively known as the 'Sons of Big Boss'. Other aspects of the project saw his genetic legacy going to dozens of failures and the abortion of six fetuses during the early stages of the experiment. After learning of the project, Big Boss broke with Zero and decided to break from Zero as well as the Patriots where he sought to oppose their plans.

Overview

Personality and attributes

When he was younger, he was known by the codename of Naked Snake (ネイキッド・スネーク, Neikiddo Sunēku). Such was his reputation and skill that he came to be known as The Greatest Warrior of the 20th Century, the Legendary Soldier and the Legendary Mercenary.

He came to hold an innate desire for conflict as this was the only thing he truly knew after having been exposed to combat from a young age.

The Boss was both a mentor and a mother figure to the Big Boss where the two had spent 10 years living together with them developing their CQC in that time. During that time, they had developed a strong bond that would last for the rest of their lives. The Big Boss remarked on their relationship to EVA that half of him belonged to the Boss and that the ties between them was far deeper than that of friends or lovers.
