The Fury

The Fury appears in the game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. He is the "Flame Soldier" of the Cobra Unit.

The Fury is a former Soviet Cosmonaut. After World War II, once the Cobra unit was dismantled, he returned to Russia. He was sent into outer space on a Cosmonaut flight. An accident occurred, and upon re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, he suffered severe burns all over his body, which left him unable to feel any pain. While he was being burned, he saw the Earth obscured by the wall of fire. That caused him to be obsessed with a vision of the Earth in flames, as well as his development of pyromaniacal tendencies.

As with the rest of the Cobra unit, his codename reflects the specific emotion he portrays while on the battlefield. He feels unrelenting fury towards the world and everything else while he is fighting.

He wears a fireproof Soviet space suit and is equipped with a jetpack and a powerful flamethrower. Unlike most flamethrowers, his uses liquid rocket fuel.

The Fury was eventually defeated by Naked Snake in an underground battle near Groznyj Grad, the massive military fortress established by Colonel Volgin of GRU. The heavily injured and horribly burnt soldier activated his jetpack, launching himself into the roof at high speed - believing that he was "coming home". He was killed on impact. When he died, two heads made out of fire came down from the roof and chased Snake around. One of the heads tried to chase him through the exit, but collided with the doorway, thereby stopping Snake from returning.
