She is former FOXHOUND commander, Roy Campbell's niece, and a member of the "Next Generation Special Forces" (reserve members of FOXHOUND).3 During the mission she is captured and subjected to torture and "things even worse than that".Meryl: It wasn't that bad. I didn't give in to the torture. // '''Snake''': Torture? // Meryl: ...And things even worse than that... I was fighting too. Just like you'''Campbell''': She's my little brother's girl. He died in the Gulf War. Since then I've been watching after her. In the end she escapes with Snake.4 It should be noted that if Snake lets Meryl die in the game, Campbell reveals Meryl is not his neice, but his illegitimate daughter. However, since this is not the canonical ending, it is unknown if Snake (or Meryl) knows this. Gray Fox Gray Fox (voiced by Greg Eagles (original), Rob Paulsen (''The Twin Snakes'') and Kaneto Shiozawa ) appears in the form of a "Cyborg Ninja" in ''Metal Gear Solid''. He is equipped with a powered exoskeleton and Katana that can slice through steel."5 Throughout the mission he provides Snake with anonymous messages via Codec, using the pseudonym "Deepthroat".Fox: We're just about out of time. Here's a final present from Deepthroat. I'll stop it from moving! Snake does battle with Fox in a laboratory while on his way to rescue Hal Emmerich, a scientist held captive.'''Ninja''': It is nothing so trivial as revenge. A fight to the death with you. Only in that can my soul find respite. I will kill you or you will kill me... it makes no difference. (''Metal Gear Solid'') Fox assists Snake in destroying the radome on Metal Gear REX,'''Snake''': He destroyed the radome... but is killed by REX, being piloted by terrorist leader Liquid Snake.'''Liquid''': Foolish man. He prayed for death... and it found him. You see? You can't protect anyone!! Not even yourself! Die!!

Revolver Ocelot See Also: Revolver Ocelot Revolver Ocelot (voiced by film actor Lee Van Cleef . Sniper Wolf Sniper Wolf (voiced by , the antagonist from the previous two ''Metal Gear'' games.Wolf: But then... he appeared. My hero... Saladin... he took me away from all that... // '''Snake''': Saladin? ...You mean Big Boss? (''Metal Gear Solid'') In ''Metal Gear Solid'' she fights Snake twice, the first time results in Meryl being captured, and Snake being tortured,Wolf: Didn't you know that two thirds of the world's greatest assassins are women? Do you want to die now? Or after your female friend? Which will it be? in the second battle she is killed. The initial game plan for '''' 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. 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. The flashback uses actual footage from the first game.7 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.8 A subsequent interview with Shinkawa revealed that the Sniper Wolf character is still popular amongst the staff at Konami. 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.

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. 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.Liquid: Perhaps there's a spy among us... Mantis is dead. We've also got to find out what killed Baker and Octopus. When Solid Snake faces Mantis, Mantis demonstrates his psychic powers by breaking the '', among others). Then, at the beginning of the actual battle, Mantis causes the screen to go completely black except for the words "HIDEO" in green all capital text in the top right corner of the screen, much like TV or VCR on-screen-displays, in an attempt to throw the player off. Psycho Mantis was named the "Second greatest boss" by Electronic Gaming Monthly in their 200th issue. Vulcan Raven Vulcan Raven (voiced by Tank ,Snake: You were the one in the M1 tank?

You and the Boss... you are from another world... a world that I do not wish to know. Go and do battle with him. I will be watching from above. First, I'll give you a hint... The man who you saw die before your eyes... that was not the DARPA Chief. It was Decoy Octopus. A member of FOX-HOUND. He was a master of disguise. He copied his subjects down to the blood. So he drained the Chief's blood and took it into himself. But he wasn't able to deceive the Angel of Death (''Metal Gear Solid'') In ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', the player can find an as Snake.

Yes, the DARPA Chief knew my identity, but he's been disposed of. (''Metal Gear Solid'') and is killed by the FoxDie virus.'''Liquid''': The Pentagon only needed for you to come into contact with us.

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!
