About Solid Snake
A former spy, special operations soldier, and mercenary, Solid Snake was known as the "Legendary Soldier" who had saved the world multiple times from destruction.
About Solid Snake: Background
Solid Snake, real name David, was born in 1972. He was a part of the Les Enfants Terribles project and is also the son of Big Boss. The Les Enfants Terribles was a project created to create the perfect soldier. The project used the genes of Big Boss, the greatest soldier of all time. So he was created using Big Boss's genetic material. This makes him brothers with Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake. From a young age, he has been trained for battle and, as a result, says that the battlefield is the one place he feels alive.
His soldier experience has led to him becoming calm, cold, and distant. He rarely shows any signs of anger or fear. Snake has trained himself to bury his emotions to remain calm in every situation. Despite this outward appearance, he does show empathy and concern for his comrades on a scarce occasion. Snake also emphasizes that he can love life, unlike Big Boss, his genetic father.
About Solid Snake: Abilities
Solid Snake is a brilliant soldier. He is known to have an IQ of 180 and is fluent in six languages. Due to being genetically related to Big Boss, he holds many qualities which make him a talented soldier. His intelligence allows him to be perceptive and think of creative strategies. This often catches opponents off guard and will enable him to defeat opponents that would have beat him physically.
His time with the Green Berets, FoxHound, and training under Big Boss has given him excellent combat skills and the ability to use any military equipment. He also has been highly trained in infiltrating heavily armed sections. As a result, he has successfully infiltrated with no weapons or gears.
Other Important Metal Gear Characters
Being one of the series's main characters, Solid Snake holds fascinating relationships with the other characters. In particular, he is closely linked to Big Boss and Gray Fox.
Big Boss
Initially, Solid Snake did not know that they two were genetically related. However, his connection with Big Boss left a lasting impression on him. Big Boss saw great potential in Solid Snake and personally trained him. As a result, he grew to see Big Boss as a father figure. Unfortunately, their relationship takes a drastic turn when he realizes the Big Boss was behind the Outer Heaven incident. He took Big Boss's betrayal very personally and felt conflicted with his feelings towards Big Boss.
Gray Fox
Gray Fox is Solid Snake's best friend. Fox is the only person to have received the codename "Fox", earning Snake's respect. Fox acted as a mentor to Snake and showed him how to be a soldier. Their bond is so strong that even when Fox betrays Snake, Snake feels no anger and considers Fox, a close friend. When Fox sacrifices himself, he leaves the words, "We're not tools of the government or anyone else." These words heavily impact Snake's life and later passes these words on to Raiden.
