Allen Iishiba

Allen Iishiba (アレン・イイシバ) was a Sergeant from the U.S. Army's Counter Terrorist Unit Delta Force who assigned by Roy Campbell to assist Solid Snake during a rescue mission to save Meryl Silverburgh and her crew when they were lost in an undisclosed hostile country. A third generation Japanese-American, Allen was known for his talkative behavior and his fascination with firearms. He joined the armed forces in order to prove himself to his childhood girlfriend Helena and was nominated to take the FOXHOUND recruitment test. While Allen managed to help Snake rendezvous with Meryl and escape, Allen was mortally wounded by enemy gunfire while reaching the extraction site. Before dying, he was officially recognized as a member of FOXHOUND by Roy Campbell.
