Captain (Mother Base survivor)

The Captain was a former member of Militaires Sans Frontières who helped Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller escaped from Mother Base after it was invaded by XOF. The member saves Big Boss and Miller from being shot down by an XOF soldier, then mysteriously loses consciousness, waking up six months later in a facility belonging to Wardenclyffe Section, a secretive research organization of the United States government. A member of this organization, a man known as Goodluck, gives the member a special assignment with the following order: "You don't get to sit this one out. You're already infected with that lifeform I was telling you about." The member then travels alone to the same parallel world with the codename "Captain" to find a cure for this infection, and to rescue those sucked into the wormhole half a year ago.

Personality
The Captain appears to have a strong sense of loyalty, as even as The Motherbase was falling apart, they still decided to save their commanders, Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller from an XOF grunt. They're also loyal to their new comrades in the wasteland, particularly Reeve, the Scientist, the Nurse, and the Boy they save from the Wanderers. They also appeared shocked, saddened, and hurt when their commanders abandoned them on Motherbase.

Upon arriving in the wasteland, they appear to have a great fear of the Wanders, even in small numbers. When cornered against a wall and a small horde, the Captain seemingly gave up hope and accepted fate, until they were saved by Reeve.

Behind the scenes
The Captain is the main protagonist of the spin-off game Metal Gear Survive. The Captain was first seen in a TGS 2016 game play demo for the game. In the final version of the game, the gender of the Captain is chosen by the player.

Similar to Venom Snake, the Captain lost their left arm, which was replaced.
