Philanthropy

Philanthropy is an anti-Metal Gear non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by Otacon and Solid Snake. The organization was created as a response to the abundance of Metal Gear REX derivatives being developed after the 2005 Shadow Moses Incident. The group operated by uncovering information on the development of new Metal Gears, gathering evidence of their existence, and then attemptong to prevent the weapons' completion, often by outright destroying them. Philanthropy's motto is, "To let the world be."

History
The organization started off by attempting to expose the true events of the Shadow Moses Incident and the development of Metal Gear REX. Nastasha Romanenko wrote an autobiographical account, In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth, though she experienced difficulty while attempting to have the book published. An unknown source (implied to be Snake) later provided the book to a journalist, a conspiracy theorist who later published his own article regarding the incident, and helped give the events more widespread attention. Nastasha was then able to get her book published, which became a bestseller, and donated a large amount of the profits to Philanthropy's cause.

The group became officially recognized by the United Nations, or in the words of Snake, "recognized, but still fringe." However, after the Manhattan Tanker Incident in 2007, it's most likely they went straight off the fringe, as they were framed as an eco-terrorist group. After the Big Shell Incident in 2009, the group focused on anti-Patriot activity. Also, according to information hacked from Arsenal Gear's AI by Otacon, one of the members of the Patriots' Wisemen's Committee was a major benefactor of the group (though Snake later deduced that the information was a false lead orchestrated by the Patriots). It was then that the age of the War Economy began to surface.

In 2014, as Snake was suffering from supposed Werner Syndrome, aging at an accelerated rate, Philanthropy was secretly hired by the UN official Roy Campbell to take down Liquid Ocelot. Liquid was the head of the gigantic PMC mother company known as Outer Heaven and was planning an insurrection against the Patriots. This was to be their final mission.

After the group succeeded in taking Liquid Ocelot down, Snake decided to live his final days in solitude, with Otacon insisting that he stay with him and act as a witness of his final days.
