Metal Gear Characters

Dirty Duck
Dirty Duck is an Outer Heaven mercenary who is known for his cowardly tactics of using hostages as shields. He was once the leader of an extremist terrorist group known as "Egg Plant".

During Operation Intrude N313, Duck fought against Solid Snake with a boomerang while using Jennifer's brother and other hostages as shields. However, Snake found an opening against Duck and used it without harming the hostages.

Behind the scenes

In the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear, his name was Coward Duck, a reference to comic book character Howard the Duck.

Fire Trooper
Fire Trooper is an Outer Heaven mercenary who specializes in handling a flamethrower like a mere rifle. He is a former GSG 9 operative who wears a white flame-protection suit. He fought against Solid Snake in an underground prison during Operation Intrude N313.

Jennifer
Jennifer is a member of the resistance movement at Outer Heaven.

Story

She infiltrates the fortress by posing as part of the medical staff to save her older brother, who is taken captive by Coward Duck (Dirty Duck). During Operation Intrude N313, Solid Snake learns her frequency from one of the hostages (however, the player is unabled to contact unless a four-star rank has been obtained). She provided internal support to Snake, by providing him with the Rocket Launcher used to defeat the Arnold cyberoids, as well as unlocking the room containing the Compass (which Snake used to cross the desert to Building #3). In return, Snake managed to save her brother from Duck.

Diane
Diane is a member of the Resistance movement at Outer Heaven.

Story

She was formerly a vocalist of Thin Wall, a positive punk band and uses her feminity for intelligence activities. Having gone on several intelligence missions in Outer Heaven, she has accumulated knowledge about the mercenaries and armaments of Outer Heaven. During Operation Intrude N313, she provided her expertise to Snake, providing him with the weaknesses of each of Outer Heaven's mercenaries. She apparently had an unrequited love for Snake, but never expressed her feelings to him. She lived with her boyfriend Steve, who would often answer Snake's calls only to be annoyed with him.

Bloody Brad
The Arnold is the codename of the TX-11 series of "cyberoids" developed by Dr. Madnar.

Story

When Dr. Madnar was taken captive by Outer Heaven, he was forced to use his robotic technology to develop two cyberoid units. They're resistant to virtually all sorts of firepower, with some exceptions. During Operation Intrude N313, Solid Snake fought against two TX-11 units and managed to destroy them using an RPG-7 provided to him by Jennifer.
