The Beauty and the Beast unit is an elite section of female soldiers who suffered from crippling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and were then given special suits to turn them into incredible soldiers. They serve as Liquid Ocelot's most powerful enforcers in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.

Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Characters that are initially portrayed as evil, but eventually turn out to be good or not as serious of a threat. This also includes villains who remain evil the entire game, but contain some sense of moral goodness or ambiguity.
A narrative that takes an unexpected turn. Commonly, plot twists come in the form of revealing that the player character is not actually who they thought.
Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
A secret organization formed after World War I by the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in the United States, the Soviet Union and China.
An antagonist who isn't a villain by choice and is not in control of their emotions or a victim of tragic circumstance.
A group of villains, each with a different characteristic and ability (or gimmick) that insist on fighting the protagonist one at a time. They may have ridden together, but they never die together.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
Experienced soldiers that often feature as mentor characters.
