Otacon

Hal Emmerich, nicknamed Otacon, is an engineer working at Shadow Moses whose technical achievement has become part of the seized weapon project. Snake’s discovery of him turns a mission target into a source of practical information and a developing ally.

• Story: Otacon helps explain REX and the facility while becoming emotionally involved in the people Snake confronts, particularly Sniper Wolf. His compassion gives a technical support role personal stakes.
• In the game: Listen to Otacon’s technical explanations and apply them to the actual objective or equipment. He supports Snake remotely and through story encounters, rather than joining a selectable party.
