History Characters / MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater

* NonIndicativeName: "Shagohod" in Russian means "Walking Machine". Among all the titular Metal Gears, it's basically the only one which does not walk.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He holds the high rank of GRU colonel and is the most formidable Russian foe in the game.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: It turns out that she [[spoiler: didn't defect]] and aims to reunite a divided world.

* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler: Heavily implied to be the case during her final fight against Naked Snake/Big Boss and later confirmed by Snake himself in later games. She knows that she has to die in order to complete her mission and wants to die by her student's hands but she won't let herself fall until she deems Snake worthy by him completely mastering CQC.]]
* ImageSong: "Snake Eater" could be considered one, [[spoiler:foreshadowing her motivations for going on what was basically a suicide mission.]]

* IronicName: Despite her old codename being The Joy, The Boss rarely rare smiles. [[spoiler: Actually, this codename - along with the other Cobras' names - represent [[AnthropomorphicPersonification emotions]] that Snake must "kill" in order to succeed in his mission: he overcomes the Pain, the Fear, the End and the Fury, but unfortunately he also killed his Joy, and was left only with Sorrow, the only emotion he didn't kill... which left him a [[BrokenAce broken]], embittered man for the rest of his life.]]

* TheParagon: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. The Boss was not only the greatest soldier of her time, but also a paragon of virtue and to her allies, including Snake and Zero, the very embodiment of what it meant to be a soldier. However ''The Boss was'' '''''not''''' ''perfect'', she had her own flaws (including a particularly nasty case of PoorCommunicationKills) but since she was so strong and charismatic everyone around her tended to overlook them and put her, and her ideals, in an unrealistic pedestal that no one would be able to reach, inviting inevitable discord among those [[spoiler: who tried to fulfill her will such as Big Boss and the Patriots]]. [[spoiler: In a sad case of {{Irony}} the only ones who were able to fulfill her will as a human were those ''that never met her'' and thus were free of the grip of her charismatic legacy as a soldier: her memetic "son" Hal Emmerich and her adoptive grandson Solid Snake]].

* BadassBookworm: He doesn't look like a fighter at all. But tapes during Peace Walker shows he was just as good at espionage as the Boss was.

-> AKA The Joy/Voyevoda
->Voiced by: Creator/KikukoInoue (JP), Creator/LoriAlan (EN)

->''"Ridiculous, isn't it? Yesterday's ally becomes today's opposition."''

Naked Snake's mentor and a war hero who led the Cobra Unit, a multinational team of elite Supernatural Warriors who practically ''won'' UsefulNotes/WorldWarII for the Allies. During the early events of ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', she defects to the Soviet Union with her fellow Cobras, causing a dramatic power shift between the East and West. This is bad news for Khrushchev, whose political rivals are secretly conspiring with The Boss' new employer. Enraged, Khrushchev threatens war, and D.C. is left with no choice but to slay The Boss and her leader as recompense. Snake now stands accused of colluding in the Boss' defection, and must cooperate in her assassination to save himself and the Major from execution.

The Boss continues to haunt the narrative in the prequels, much like Big Boss does in the present day.

A team of some of the greatest Alied soldiers, led by the Boss.. Each legendary warriors in their own right, their supernatural powers allowed them to '''win''' the Second World War for the Allies in the ''Metal Gear'' universe... and Snake has the misfortune of having to fight them. They consist of The Pain, who can control hornets; The Fear, an animalistic hunter with a crossbow; The End, the world's oldest sniper; The Fury, a pyromaniac cosmonaut, and The Sorrow, a person who is both a ghost and a medium.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: They all ''look'' human, but most of them have supernatural powers and very inhuman features that would suggest otherwise. The Fear can climb up trees like a spider and has a snake-like tongue and cat-like eyes, The End has a spiritual connection to the forest, The Fury survived re-entry to Earth's atmosphere without a spaceship and turns into a fireball upon being defeated, The Pain is basically a walking beehive, and The Sorrow was a medium in life. The Boss is the only remotely normal member of the bunch, but even then, her scar is shown to have magical properties.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Each and every warrior of the Cobra Brigade represents the definition of the emotions felt in battle, condensed within a lethal physical personification of the concept they represent.
** [[spoiler: They also could represent Snake's emotions during the game. He felt pain, fear, fury, and joy on the battlefield. Yet he was overcome with '''Sorrow''' when The Boss died never leaving until he met his '''END''']].
%%* BadassCrew
* {{Cool Old Guy}}s: Most of them are in their fifties, and The End is over a century old.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: With the exception of The Sorrow and The Boss, all of the Cobra Unit members [[spoiler:exploded upon being defeated, regardless of lethality or lack thereof. It's HandWaved by Zero and Sigint explaining that they carried microbombs to detonate in the event that they fell during battle so as to deny the enemy even the chance to retrieve their body and personal belongings. Unfortunately for the rest of the world in the 1980's this doesn't work as intended; as Code Talker is able to retrieve The End's remains which is rife with parasites and are used towards creating a biological weapon capable of eliminating language and was nearly successful]].
* DrivenToSuicide: It is heavily implied via various radio conversations that the reason why the surviving members of the Cobra Unit (barring The Boss) still carried a microbomb, even when not being in enemy territory, and also why they are even fighting against Snake is because they wanted to die in battle.
* {{Fallen Hero}}: [[spoiler:Not really.]]
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: You still get their camouflages if they're defeated via stamina-kill. And in The End's case, his gun as well.
* MultinationalTeam: Led by an American, at least two of them are Russian. The Pain, The Fear and The End's nationalities are unknown, but The Pain's use of a Tommy Gun possibly suggests American and The End's use of a Mosin-Nagant means he could possibly be Russian.
* OneManArmy: Each is considered such.
* PunchClockVillain: BloodKnight tendencies aside, they're not really bad people - just mercenaries who loyally follow The Boss wherever she goes.
* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: Even quirkier than previous entries. Their already formidable combat abilities are enhanced by surgical-modifications and/or Pulp-Novel-Era WeirdScience funded by the 100 billion dollars of the Philosophers' Legacy rather than Hard-Science of the Universe's later-years.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: All of them are referred to as "The". The Boss even states at one point "I leave him to you, The Fear."
* SuperEmpowering: ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' explains that [[spoiler:parasites attached to some of the Cobra Unit were able to give them their powers; for example, The End was infested with a parasite that gives him the ability to thrive off photosynthesis, and that parasite was later ingested by Code Talker to give him the same ability. It's also heavily implied that The Fury and The Pain were infested with parasites as well; two additional parasites found included one that forced the brain to produce extra adrenaline upon feeling pain, the other allowed the user to secrete hormones that controlled insects.]]

->Voiced By: Creator/HisaoEgawa (JP), Creator/GreggBerger (EN)

A member of the Cobra Unit. Controls a nest of bees and hornets via the queen bee in his backpack, and also uses them to fetch and deploy weapons. The one with the least characterization, he interrupts Naked Snake's fight with Ocelot and subsequently confronts the former in the caves.

--> "''The lonely fox chases the one-eyed hound.''"

* EvilBrit: Given that [[spoiler:he founded the Patriots. Subverted when ''The Phantom Pain'' revealed he'd become TheAtoner, but still failed to stop the Patriots.]]
* EvilOldFolks: He's at his most antagonistic during the Peacewalker era where he's in his mid-to-late 60's, and he's over a hundred years old in ''Guns of the Patriots''. Granted, by that time, he doesn't have the brain function to really be considered evil. [[spoiler:He also wasn't as evil as Big Boss made him out to be.]]

* {{Expy}}: As the stuffy British superior to a puckish secret agent, Zero serves as the M to Big Boss' James Bond. At least at first. Within the ''Metal Gear'' series itself he resembles Colonel Campbell[[spoiler:, the main difference being while Campbell regrets lying to his Snake, Zero does not let his fondness for Naked Snake prevent him from manipulating him.]].

In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Metal Gear Solid 4]]'', we learn retroactively that [[spoiler: Zero is the founder of the Patriots]]. Zero, having grown old and vegetative in the present day, is no longer capable of comprehending the full extent of what the Patriots have done. [[spoiler:Big Boss's]] desire for a confrontation with Zero is thwarted when he instead finds a catatonic old man, and he [[spoiler: compassionately shuts Zero's life support off.]]

* AnimalMotif: Zero is compared to a fox quite frequently, most obviously in the name of his FOX Unit. [[spoiler:During it's meltdown, the Mammal pod also indirectly refers to Zero and Snake as a fox and a hound, respectively.
--> "''The lonely fox chases the one-eyed hound.''"]]

* {{Expy}}: As the stuffy British superior to a puckish secret agent, Zero serves as the M to Big Boss' James Bond. At least at first.

* TheManBehindTheMan: For [[spoiler:''Peace Walker'']].

* StrawNihilist:[[spoiler:After the Boss's death due to political manipulations, and Big Boss later leaving the Patriots, he loses faith in humanity]].

* TragicHero: [[spoiler:He made Cipher to save the world, and then tried to save the world from Cipher. Neither worked, and worse, the Big Boss ''he'' was friends with will never know he realized what a horrible thing he did, because the "Big Boss" who learned Zero saved him was [[BodyDouble Venom]]. He did, in the end, manage to help save the world from his own plans gone awry via the creation of Liquid, Solidus, and Solid Snake as well as the rescue of Big Boss.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: His actions [[spoiler:laid the foundation of the totalitarian world order that The Patriots would eventually set up. As ''The Phantom Pain'' reveals, he was ''not'' happy about this, and tried to restore his alliance with Big Boss so that Cipher could be stopped in its tracks. Skull Face's meddling ensured that he'd eventually both fail and get incapacitated, even though Skull Face himself was eventually defeated. As a result, Big Boss continued to think of Zero as an enemy, right up till the very end. Thankfully, he at least had the heart to give Zero a peaceful death. Somewhat subverted in that he did manage to fix just enough of his mistakes to eventually lead to the dismantling of his original plans.]]

* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Seems to believe that humanity cannot be trusted to make their own decisions. His reasoning [[CallForward eerily echoes]] how the AIs will [[MetalGearSolid2SonsofLiberty later justify themselves.]]
--> "''We must rely on information control. People need an appropriate context for their lives.''"
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: As revealed in one of the cassette tapes detailing his secret visit of Snake in the hospital in Cyprus during ''The Phantom Pain'', this is his reaction regarding Skull Face's attack on MSF which resulted in Big Boss ending up in a coma.]]
-->"I don't mind about myself. But what he did to you, I can never forgive."

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:By the time of ''The Phantom Pain'', he's realized Cipher ''was not a good plan.'']]
* MyHeroZero: Zero momentarily changed his handle to [[Film/TheGreatEscape "Tom", thus dooming the Virtuous Mission.]] The irony did not escape him; he switches it back for Operation Snake Eater. [[spoiler:Subverted in later games, when Zero becomes obsessed with control. However, he did realize his mistakes and did the best he could to salvage things before Skull Face's parasite attack completely crippled his mind. However, even the AIs he sought to use to guide the world and fix his own actions with Cipher ended up backfiring and controlling the world, making everything go FromBadToWorse.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Was one, along with Big Boss, when they co-founded The Patriots to honor The Boss's legacy. Then he and Big Boss had a violent falling-out, his worldview became increasingly bleak and cynical, and he eventually lost all control over The Patriots when his [=AIs=], which he actually hoped to use to fix his mistakes, began to run amok while he slipped into a vegetative state as a result of an attack by a former lieutenant, Skull Face.
* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler: Pretty much everything regarding his plans. He was too late in his realization that Cipher was a bad idea, he was too late to stop the destruction of the MSF (though he did manage to save Big Boss's life), and he couldn't get Big Boss to awaken from his coma before he himself fell into a permanent vegetative state as a result of Skull Face's attack.]]

* ActionPolitician: Becomes one in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPortableOps'' if you recruit him to your team either by [[spoiler: beating the game while having ''Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel'' saved into your memory card, or using a secret code]]. He even has "politician" as one of his perks.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Revealed in ''The Phantom Pain'' to be this in secret, hoping that reconciling with Big Boss and providing Diamond Dogs with the funding and means to take down Cipher would help stop what he helped set in motion.]]

* BadBoss: According to ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]]''. [[spoiler:Paz Andrade Ortega/Pacifica Ocean]] was terrified of failing him and considered incurring his wrath a FateWorseThanDeath. [[spoiler:Although a secret tape in ''The Phantom Pain'' shows that he was rather amiable to her, implying that she was afraid of the organization rather than the man himself.]]

* DeadlyScratch: [[spoiler:Zero's vegetative state, which left him unable to correct his mistakes with Cipher and the Patriots and ultimately led to so much suffering in the world, was initially caused by him pricking his finger on a pin badge that Skull Face had infested with parasites]].

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: He gravely misinterpreted what The Boss wanted after the end of ''Metal Gear Solid 3''. [[spoiler:The Boss wanted a world that was unified, which led Zero to creating an AI capable of information control where there would be no more wars and no more conflict. What she meant was a world where people could be free to pass the torch, doing what they wanted, and living up to their own ideals. To his credit, Zero did eventually figure out that he got this wrong. It's just that by the time he did, things had already been set into motion that would make the world a much worse place.]]

* FallenHero: [[spoiler:He eventually became the GreaterScopeVillain. And then TheAtoner whose mistakes led to the creation of the ''real'' GreaterScopeVillain; the Patriots' AI system.]]
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler: Inverted and PlayedStraight. His actions may have nearly doomed the world on multiple occasions, via laying the foundations for the creation of the Patriot AIs, the information control channels they used to manipulate the world, and the creation of Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake, they also saved it. The other clone created by Zero's Les Enfants Terribles project was Solid Snake. Solid managed to defeat Liquid, helped stop Solidus, and managed to dismantle the Patriot AI's and completely disrupt the information control channels. Lastly, one of the last actions he undertook before becoming comatose was rescuing Big Boss, the man he considered his best friend (even if Big Boss didn't know it) and it was Big Boss who trained Solid Snake and eventually ended Zero's suffering via MercyKill.]]

* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: As revealed in Phantom Pain. ''He's'' the one who funded the Diamond Dogs/Miller when Big Boss was in a coma, even protecting Big Boss when he was asleep. The events of the other games aren't even his fault, instead being the fault of the AIs he commissioned to fix his mistakes, only for them to go off the rails and make everything much, much worse.]]

* NotMeThisTime: Discussed in the cassette tape "Cipher's Will" in ''The Phantom Pain''. [[spoiler:Venom Snake ponders whether or not Zero truly was responsible for the attack on MSF in ''Ground Zeroes'', remarking that "the man [he] knew" wouldn't want that. Zero himself claims the attack on MSF and destruction of Mother Base was entirely the product of Skull Face's rebellion, and he was ''horrified'' to discover what had happened. Of course, he may have ordered the destruction of ]]
* OneWorldOrder: His goal after Big Boss leaves The Patriots borders on this [[spoiler:though even he attempts to stop upon realizing that it wasn't such a good plan after all]]. As he puts it in a trailer for ''The Phantom Pain'':

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: If his plans had worked out how he intended, the world would have been a much better and more peaceful place. Unfortunately for him and the world, basically all of them ended up spinning completely out of his control.]]

* NotMeThisTime: Discussed in the cassette tape "Cipher's Will" in ''The Phantom Pain''. [[spoiler:Venom Snake ponders whether or not Zero truly was responsible for the attack on MSF in ''Ground Zeroes'', remarking that "the man [he] knew" wouldn't want that. He's ultimately proven right; the attack on MSF and destruction of Mother Base was entirely the product of Skull Face's rebellion, and Zero was ''horrified'' to discover what had happened.]]

* PrecisionFStrike: Zero is not known for being very foul-mouthed in the games, as the worst he'll ever say is the occasional "hell" or "crap". In one of the [[spoiler: Truth Tapes]], he calls Snake the "toughest son of a bitch" he's known, marking it the strongest cuss word he's ever used.

* StrawNihilist: After Big Boss leaves [[spoiler:the Patriots, he loses faith in humanity. Subverted in ''The Phantom Pain'', which reveals that he was unsuccessfully trying to revive his alliance with Big Boss, but could not because the latter was comatose for almost a decade]].

* WalkingTechbane: Implied in several radio conversations to Sigint, which is incredibly ironic, considering [[spoiler:he ultimately masterminds a system of supercomputers, [=AIs=], and nanomachines to rule the entire world for him.]]

* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler: Sends the few men still loyal to him to rescue Big Boss and any MSF survivors of Skull Face's attack. Then has said survivors moved to a hidden medical facility to safely heal.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: In spite of her hatred of Volgin, she isn't too pleased with the way he got [[BoltofDivineRetribtution incapacitated]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: In spite of her hatred of Volgin, she isn't too pleased with the way he got [[BoltofDivineRetribtuion incapacitated]].

* FiveManBand: Serves as both this and [[spoiler: ThePsychoRangers]].
** TheLeader: Zero, who is in control of the entire group. [[spoiler: Would later become the BigBad, being the founder of the Patriots]].
** TheLancer: Snake, who carries out the fieldwork. [[spoiler: Would later become TheDragon, at least before leaving the Patriots]].
** TheSmartGuy: Para-Medic, who is knowledgeable about plants and animals and provides medical and scientific information to Snake. [[spoiler: Would later become TheEvilGenius, being the MadScientist responsible for carrying out the Les Enfants Terribles project]].
** TheBigGuy: Sigint, who is knowledgeable about weapons and provides Snake’s equipment. [[spoiler: Would later become TheBrute, as well as TheDragon after Snake’s departure from the Patriots, continuing Zero’s work after the latter becomes incapacitated]].
** TheChick: EVA, Snake’s romantic love interest and the one who keeps him company out in the jungle. [[spoiler: Would later become TheDarkChick, serving as the mother to Snake’s clones]].

* {{Flanderization}}: Between ''Snake Eater'' and ''Gun Of The Patriots'' her personality trait regarding [[AdamAndOrEve the Eve symbolism]] is exaggerated, as in the original game the symbolism behind her name and role in the story is more subtle. In ''Snake Eater'', the Eve symbolism is a thing she came out on the spot (as Snake was waiting for Adam) and she jokes about how she tempted the snake; by ''Gun of the Patriots'', she takes the symbolism very seriously.

* AntiVillain: The Villain in Name Only variant; even though she's one of the game's main antagonists, she's strangely kind and compassionate. [[spoiler:This is because she turns out to be a HeroAntagonist. She's only an "enemy" because the U.S. Government essentially screwed her over after her [[FakeDefector fake]] defection [[GoneHorriblyWrong backfired]] due to [[AxCrazy Volgin]] and presumably the [[TheResenter CIA's]] influence.]] It's also worth pointing out that, despite the many clashing personalities and agendas in ''Snake Eater'', she's the only person that ''everyone'' respects (in Volgin's case, it's more due to [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority fear]], but considering that he's AxCrazy, that's still saying something).

In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Metal Gear Solid 4]]'', we learn retroactively that [[spoiler: Zero is the founder of the Patriots.]]. Zero, having grown old and vegetative in the present day, is no longer capable of comprehending the full extent of what the Patriots have done. [[spoiler:Big Boss's]] desire for a confrontation with Zero is thwarted when he instead finds a catatonic old man, and he [[spoiler: compassionately shuts Zero's life support off.]]

* TalkingWithSigns: He provides the player with [[spoiler:the radio frequency to escape their cell]] and later a countdown to the C3's detonation. That's some impressive signage right there.
* TheCameo:
** Makes a brief appearance in Metal Gear Solid 2 : Bande Dessinée, expressing disappointment at Ocelot's lack of control over [[spoiler:Liquid's spirit.]]
** [[spoiler:In ''Guns of the Patriots'', he sends Psycho Mantis back to the afterlife. If you press L1 during this, you can see him with is arms crossed. Screaming Mantis even had a puppet made in his image.]]

* TogetherInDeath: Shortly after you beat [[spoiler:The Boss]], pressing R1 will allow you to see [[spoiler:The Boss's and his ghost reuniting]].

** Her name being EVA makes one to the main HumongousMecha in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' which is also named [[NamesTheSame EVA]] and [[spoiler:they're also mothers of the main protagonists]].

* DeadAllAlong: The "Donald Anderson" that Solid Snake meets is actually Decoy Octopus in disguise, and he is quickly killed by Snake's FOXDIE virus. The real Donald Anderson was already dead; killed by Ocelot.

* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:She was so obsessed with B-movies and Japanese pop culture that it wasn't surprising when her finest humanoid creation turned against and killed her, not unlike ''[[Film/IWasATeenageFrankenstein certain]]'' ''[[Series/KamenRider examples]]'']].

* EvilOldFolks: [[spoiler: She was in her late 60s when she experimented on Grey Fox turning him into the cyborg ninja we know in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''. Fox kills her for this.]]

* DeadGuyJunior: His real name is listed as David Oh, suggesting that Solid Snake was named after him.
