Punished "Venom" Snake

Punished "Venom" Snake, also known as Ahab, was a medic who whored for the military unit Militaires Sans Frontiéres in 1975 and a military commander in 1984 and 1995. In 1984, facial cirurgies permitted him to act as the body double to Big Boss, after the former medic passed 9 years in a comma, and further lead the military unit founded by his former boss as a successor to MSF, Diamond Dogs. While commanding the unit, Venom Snake defeated Skullface and his XOF unit.

Punished "Venom" Snake became the phantom of Big Boss and his traits and further actions while leading the Diamond Dogs departed from the former idea of Big Boss as a hero, becoming the phantom of Big Boss. In 1995, Venom Snake, now known as Big Boss, commanded the military nation Outer Heaven. He was finally killed by one of Big Boss clones, Solid Snake, in an opearation commanded by Big Boss himself.
