Colonel (AI)

"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"

- Colonel

"Colonel" was a GW recreation of Roy Campbell in Arsenal Gear. Posing as Raiden's commanding officer during the Big Shell incident, "Colonel" was a combination of AI of GW and Raiden's expectations of Campbell. The Colonel was designed to lead Raiden through The Patriots' S3 Plan.

Emma Emmerich eventually uploaded a virus onto Arsenal Gear's systems, causing Colonel to begin to act very strangely. During the infiltration of Arsenal Gear, Hal Emmerich concluded that the Colonel was in fact, advanced AI and not a real person. It was then that Colonel announced to Raiden that Patriots were holding Rose hostage. The Colonel's AI was eventually deleted by the virus.

However, after Arsenal Gear had crashed into Independence Hall, another AI of the Colonel and Rose identifying itself as "JFK" contacted Raiden, announcing the true intentions of the S3 plan: manipulating history and individuals. The Colonel had ordered Raiden to kill Solidus: if Raiden dies, the Patriots execute Rose.
