Old Boy

Old Boy was a former member of Dead Cell who was killed six months prior to the events of the Big Shell Incident.

Having been a mentor to several world-renowned soldiers and mercenaries, Old Boy served as Dead Cell's military strategist. He was also the leader of the Fallschirmjager division of Dead Cell. Born during the early 1900s, he was a former Nazi general who participated in World War II, and would often wield a Panzerfaust in battle. Despite his old age, he still retains his shrewdness in regards to battle.

Behind the Scenes

 * Old Boy was stated to have been a mentor to Big Boss, though this is now considered non-canon. Also, the game plan mentioned that he was a "hero" during World War II despite the fact that he served as one of the Nazis.
 * Since Old Boy was cut early in the development of Metal Gear Solid 2, it is unknown where or how his fight with Raiden would have occurred.
 * Old Boy's appearance and age were incorporated into the Metal Gear Solid 3 character, The End.
