Liquid Snake is the leader of the rogue Foxhound unit that captures Shadow Moses in Metal Gear Solid and serves as that game's primary antagonist. Cloned from Big Boss in the Les Enfants Terribles project along with Solid Snake, Liquid's goal is to get the genetic code of his father.

Background

The Twin Snakes

Les Enfantes Terrible

Liquid Snake is a genetic clone of the world's greatest soldier, Big Boss. In an effort to recreate Big Boss, the Les Enfantes Terrible project was started by the Patriots and run by Dr. Clark, the Patriot known as Para-medic. Two clones were created as Solid Snake is Liquid's twin brother. Liquid was born in 1972 to surrogate mother and Patriot, code name, EVA. Liquid gained all of Big Boss's superior genes even though he had been told otherwise. The Les Enfantes Terrible project is the push factor for Big Boss to have left the Patriots.

Upbringing

Raised to be a perfect soldier, Liquid grew up in the UK and joined the BritishSAS (where he got his accent). Liquid joined FOXHOUND in 2000 in which he became the field commander, after Solid Snake and Colonel Roy Campbell had already retired from FOXHOUND. Some time before 2005, Liquid became aware of his heritage and creation and believed he was the flawed clone of Big Boss; he was probably informed by President and Big Boss perfect clone Solidus Snake. Liquid started the FOXHOUND uprising at Shadow Moses in 2005. Liquid named his rebel group "The Sons of Big Boss".

Shadow Moses Incident

Liquid Snake (voiced by Cam Clarke and Banjo Ginga) serves as Metal Gear Solid's main antagonist against Solid Snake. Liquid leads FOXHOUND, Solid Snakes old unit, to capture a nuclear waste disposal facility of Shadow Moses Island. In the game, Liquid poses as Snake's former survival coach Master McDonnell Miller and tricks Snake into activating the new version of Metal Gear, Metal Gear REX. Solid Snake is then forced to fight Liquid in a series of battles, first with Liquid piloting Metal Gear REX, secondly in a bare handed fist fight, and finally in a car chase. Although defeated three times, Liquid still manages to get the upper hand and dies due to the FOXDIE virus just before killing Solid Snake. Dr. Naomi Hunter coded the FOXDIE virus specifically to target the dominant genes of Big Boss, which she believed would kill Solid Snake, but killed Liquid instead.

Arm Transplant

Liquid Ocelot

Sometime between the events of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Liquid's arm was grafted onto Revolver Ocelot to replace the one that was severed by Gray Fox (as the Cyborg Ninja) at Shadow Moses. During the Tanker Incident, Liquid's mind inside of his right arm takes over Revolver Ocelot's body. Liquid is the one who tipped off Solid Snake of the existence of Metal Gear RAY just before the Tanker Incident. The truth is that Ocelot used hypnosis, therapy, and special nanobots to mimic the personality of Liquid in order to fool the Patriot System. As Ocelot progressed, it became relevant to him that the manufactured personality of Liquid was controlling his actions. To regain his mind, Ocelot cut off Liquid's arm after the Big Shell Incident and replaced it with a cybernetic arm shown in the end of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots. Although no longer under "Liquid's control", Ocelot continued to assume the role. Liquid died at Shadow Moses and the proof is that his ghost can be seen, in an easter egg, at Shadow Moses in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, Act 4.

Trivia

Following his appearance in Metal Gear Solid Liquid was named the "Greatest Villain of All Time" by IGN.
