Kazuhira Miller

McDonell Benedict Miller (マクドネル・ベネディクト・ミラー), otherwise known as Master Miller, was FOXHOUND's survival trainer during Roy Campbell's command of the unit.

Early Life
McDonell Benedict Miller was born in the United States sixty years after his grandparents immigrated there from Japan. He served as a survival master in the SAS, The Green Berets, a US Marine boot camp, and FOXHOUND. He served in the FBI and also volunteered as a coach in a Mercenary School twice a year but eventually retired. When he served as a drill sergeant in FOXHOUND, he was referred to as a "Hell Master" and draftees called him "Master Miller" with the utmost respect. It was while serving in FOXHOUND's boot camp that he met and helped train Solid Snake.

Zanzibar Land Uprising
He divorced his first wife, Nadine, and resided in Los Angeles with his daughter, Catherine, while serving as an adviser for FOXHOUND during Roy Campbell's days in the unit. After the Zanzibar Land Uprising and Colonel Campbell's retirement, Miller retired as well, moving to Alaska to live in solitary in a three story house with his huskies. He sometimes trained the Alaskan scouts during his free time.

Three days before the terrorist takeover of Shadow Moses, Miller was attacked in his home, poisoned by a nerve toxin.

Liquid Snake, the leader of the FOXHOUND unit, then assumed Miller's identity and posed as him during Snake's mission on Shadow Moses Island. "Miller" is supposedly called out of retirement to help Solid Snake with his mission, providing him with health and wellness information, as well as information on the general area he's in. Late into the mission, Liquid reveals himself to Snake by removing his sunglasses and untying his hair.

Behind the scenes

 * In the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Miller had a distinctively Asian appearance. The later versions of the game released for mobile phones/PlayStation 2 redesigned his character to resemble his appearance in Metal Gear Solid with his blond hair and sunglasses.
 * How Master Miller was killed is not mentioned in Metal Gear Solid. It is only mentioned in the official novel by Raymond Benson.
