Naked Snake

In Metal Gear Solid, we see numerous references to the remains of a man named "Big Boss." This is apparently an unofficial title in FOXHOUND, given to the leader, and best soldier. Having inherited it from The Boss, Naked Snake then becomes Big Boss, and FOXHOUND's leader. In 1963, a covert mission was conducted in Russia by the specialist military unit, FOXHOUND, to find and retrieve a Soviet Scientist. The operative who conducted this mission was codenamed Naked Snake, as he was sent into the field with no weapons and very few items, since any trace of these would be picked up, and America blamed for it, thus the codename. After retrieving his BACKPACK!!! from a tree after it was lost in the initial HALO drop parachute jump, Snake got back all of his starting equipment, and began the mission.
