Nick Myer

Nick "La Bomba" Myer, was an African American explosives expert and leader of the Nitroglycerin Division at FOXHOUND. A former U.S. Marine, Nick served as the team's firearms and explosives expert.

During Operation 747, Myer attempted to infiltrate the main enemy complex, but was mortally wounded and was dying when Lt. Solid Snake found him. With his dying words, he revealed that Big Boss was hooked up to a life support system, and that the only way to defeat him was to lure him out of the command room.

After the mission's success, he was posthumously awarded with a promotion of three ranks.
