Vamp in MGS4.

Vamp first appears in Metal Gear Solid 2 as a member of Dead Cell from Romania who forms part of the "Sons of Liberty" terrorist group during the Plant chapter. He is a knife-throwing specialist endowed with superhuman strength and agility, as well some apparent immortality (being able to quickly recover from a bullet wound to the head). Vamp confronts Raiden several times throughout the course of the game, before being, apparently, killed by Raiden's sniper fire and lost to the seas (but not before inflicting a mortal wound on Otacon's stepsister, Emma). Despite his apparent death, he somehow manages to survive and appears among the crowd that forms in the streets of Manhattan after Arsenal Gear crashes into Federal Hall.^[17] Vamp was originally designed as a woman, but when the character of Fortune was introduced, the design was changed to that of a man, although the long black hair was retained.^[20] His moniker has dual meanings, being a short form of the English word vampire as well as refering to his bisexual orientation.^[21] Vamp's appearance is based on Spanish dancer Joaquín Cortés.

Rosemary

Rosemary (or Rose for short) is introduced as Raiden's girlfriend in the Plant chapter portion of Metal Gear Solid 2. She is employed by the army as a data analyst, and saves the player's progress. Rosemary also supports Raiden by providing information about the Big Shell facilites and the other characters Raiden encounters in the game. Raiden and Rose spends most of their conversation talking about their relationship. By the end of the game, Rosemary reveals herself to be a spy for the Patriots. She is then taken off the mission and replaced by an A.I. duplicate of her who openly mocks Raiden.

Rosemary will return in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. ^[18] She will appear as a psychological counselor in a combat stress platoon, and will offer Snake tips on dealing with stress.^[23] It is revealed that after Metal Gear Solid 2, she had been engaged to Raiden, though their relationship ended sometime thereafter.^[1] She is married to Colonel Campbell in the game (which causes a drift between him and Meryl), but the marriage is actually a ploy to protect Raiden's child, John, from the Patriots.

EVA

EVA first appears in Metal Gear Solid 3 as a female spy in the service of the People's Republic of China sent to retrieve the Philosophers' Legacy.^[24] EVA uses her charm and good looks to win over the trust of Snake and his enemies. During the events of Snake Eater, she infiltrates Colonel Volgin's base through the disguise of being Sokolov's lover named Tatyana and assists Naked Snake through the alternative disguise of a KGB spy, to help him reach the Philosophers' Legacy so that she can later steal it from him, even seeming to fall in love with him. After the mission is completed, EVA fails to carry out the order of assassinating Snake as she promised The Boss she would not, and flees with what she believes to be the Philosophers' Legacy (later revealed to be a fake). The epilogue prior to the credits goes on to state that EVA disappeared in Hanoi, Vietnam in 1968.

FOXHOUND

The FOXHOUND logo introduced in Metal Gear Solid. A more cartoon-like version was used for the MSX2 games.

High-Tech Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND (ハイテク特殊部隊フォックスハウンド, Haiteku Tokushu Butai Fokkusuhaundo^?, also spelled FOX-HOUND) is an elite special forces unit that has appeared in numerous forms thorough the Metal Gear series. FOXHOUND was formed during the 1990's (later retconned to 1971) to cope with local revolutions, regional complications, and global terrorist activities. This unit specializes in black ops, carrying out top-secret operations within "unauthorized" combat zones which are too politically-sensitive to intervene in through conventional means. In the original Metal Gear, FOXHOUND is led by Big Boss (the team's commanding officer), with Solid Snake and Gray Fox serving as field operatives, although Big Boss betrays the unit in the end of the game. Roy Campbell, the unit's executive officer, becomes the new commanding officer in Metal Gear 2, with him, drill instructor Master Miller and military strategist George Kasler forming part of Snake's support crew in the game.

In Metal Gear Solid, Snake and Campbell are already retired from FOXHOUND and the unit turns rogue under the leadership of Liquid Snake, with five other members involved in the terrorist activity. Although the unit is disbanded by the time of Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden is led to believe that he is serving a newly-reinstated FOXHOUND under the command of "The Colonel" (an A.I. representation of Colonel Campbell controlled by The Patriots).

The FOX unit, a precursor to FOXHOUND led by Major Zero, is introduced in Metal Gear Solid 3 as the special forces unit Naked Snake (Big Boss) belonged to prior to forming FOXHOUND. The FOX unit turns renegade in Portable Ops under the leadership of Gene, leading to Naked Snake and his new partner Roy Campbell to form their own team of specialists, which forms the foundation of FOXHOUND. This is a list of characters appearing in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. ...

In Metal Gear Solid 4, FOXHOUND is reformed under Meryl's leadership. The new team, officially called Rat Patrol Team 01, consists of her, Johnny and two new characters: Jonathan and Ed. Like Meryl, Jonathan and Ed took their names from characters in Policenauts (namely Jonathan Ingram and Ed Brown).^[11]

Outside the Metal Gear canon, FOXHOUND is mentioned in Snatcher as a military unit that JUNKER Chief Benson Cunningham previously served; and in Policenauts as Meryl's former unit (the character being the basis for the Meryl in Metal Gear Solid, has a paint tattoo of the team's original logo).

The Patriots

The concept of The Patriots was first introduced to the series in Metal Gear Solid 2, where their existence is revealed by Ocelot, along with the fact that Ocelot has seems to be working for them all along. The Patriots are dedicated to creating a new world order through acts of blackmail, murder and manipulation on an untold scale, unknown to most of the world.

At the game's end, Snake acquires a disk containing a list of the members of the Wisemen's Committee. After Otacon examines the contents of the disk, he states that all members had been dead for about "a hundred years".

The origins of The Patriots are revealed in Metal Gear Solid 3 and Portable Ops. As revealed in the epilogue of Snake Eater, The Patriots were, in fact, the American branch of a secretive group known as The Philosophers (賢者達, Kenjatachi^?), a group which was formed after the end of World War I when leaders of major Allied powers, China and Bolshevik Russia entered a secret pact with a stated purpose of pooling money to rebuild countries affected by the war. They broke away from the Philosophers decades later as a result of turmoil following deaths of the group's original leaders in the 1930s, renaming themselves "The Patriots" in 1970. In the end of Portable Ops, Ocelot conspires with a character described as "the man with the same code name as Null" (turns out to be Major Zero) to invite Big Boss and form "The Patriots". “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

In Metal Gear Solid 4, the six founding members of the Patriots are revealed to be all major characters from Metal Gear Solid 3: Major Zero, Big Boss, Ocelot, EVA, Sigint and Para-Medic. Sigint and Para-Medic in turn are revealed to be the DARPA Chief and Dr. Clark (the scientist who turned Gray Fox into the Cyborg Ninja), both killed prior to the events of Metal Gear Solid. The goal, as outlined by Zero originally, is to carry the Boss' idea of a unified world – or more precisely, unite the world's culture into one that is modeled after the US. However, Zero, SIGINT, and Dr. Clark eventually grew too powerful and greedy, using technology to manipulate economy, and thus Eva, Big Boss, and Ocelot left, believing their former comrades no longer follow Boss' ideal. By the time of Metal Gear Solid 4, Major Zero is in a vegetative state and the Patriots now consist of four computer AIs: GW, JA, TJ and JM, all controlled by a fifth proxy AI named JD (John Doe), which eventually evolved from simply maintaining economies and politics into one that is based on war economies.
