Liquid Snake
Liquid Snake (Japanese: リキッド・スネーク, Hepburn: Rikiddo Sunēku) is a fictional character from Konami's Metal Gear series.
Characteristics and design
Introduced in Metal Gear Solid, Liquid Snake is Solid Snake's twin brother and Big Boss's second clone via the Les Enfants Terribles project. In contrast to the other members of FOXHOUND who are referred primarily by their animal codenames (e.g. Ocelot, Mantis, Wolf), he is commonly referred to simply as "Liquid" due to "Snake" being the common name for his brother. Raised in the United Kingdom following his birth, Liquid served as an operative for the British SAS and later became the field commander of FOXHOUND prior to the events of the game. One of Liquid's motivations is his hatred towards Snake, as Liquid believes that Snake received all of Big Boss's superior genes, and that he was destined to be inferior. After the game's credits, it is revealed that Liquid was intentionally deceived in order to drive him to carry on with Big Boss's legacy. Liquid resembles Snake in terms of facial appearance and physique, with the primary differences being his different skin tone and medium-length blond hair, as well as a tattoo of a snake entwined around a sword on his left arm.
