Characters
Naked Snake
The playable agent, later known as Big Boss. His 1964 mission introduces the survival techniques and personal loyalties behind that later identity.
Major Zero
Zero directs the mission by radio and interprets its political stakes. Para-Medic and Sigint support him with medical and equipment advice.
Quick notes
- Naked Snake is the playable Snake. The protagonist is Naked Snake, the soldier who later becomes Big Boss.
- The Boss shapes the mission. The Boss is both Snake’s mentor and a formidable soldier in her own right.
- EVA and the radio support team. EVA is the field contact who can reach Snake in person; Major Zero coordinates from outside the operational area.
- Ocelot, Volgin and competing loyalties. Ocelot is a young GRU officer whose fascination with Snake develops through repeated clashes.
Use the radio after unusual discoveries; optional conversations give the support cast more personality and often explain the item you are holding.
