Sundowner

An immense bald soldier, whose name is Sundowner, was a renegade cyborg and member of the PMSC Desperado Enforcement LLC. involved in the events of 2019, as well as one of the members of the Winds of Destruction, alongside Mistral and Monsoon. He had the African leader captured, and then bound to a wall, proceeding to torture him by slicing his sword just below the chin and within close range to the neck. Later, he moved him to a train, and then proceeded to kill the leader by stabbing him through the back. Afterwards, he escaped via a V-22 Osprey-like helicopter. He is shown to have a very sadistic personality, evidenced by his reaction to his own actions against the African leader. When not undergoing combat instances requiring him to use weapons, he wears a longcoat that is largely black with red on the bottom.

Name
The name "Sundowner" is derived from a wind condition that occurs in Southern California.

Behind the scenes


Sundowner first appeared in the E3 2012 trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which fans saw early on May 31/June 1, as part of Konami's pre-E3 show. Fans originally thought he was Fatman due to their resemblance though Fatman was killed by Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. His name was revealed in the September Famitsu issue, and his role was expanded in the TGS story trailer.
