Biography[]
Ground Zeroes Incident[]
Main article: Ground Zeroes Incident
Reeve, who removed his XOF patches to avoid raising suspicion and to keep the unit existence secret, was present during the assault on Mother Base, under the guise of a UN nuclear inspection. During the final stage of the attack, a wormhole unexpectedly opened up above the sinking Mother Base, sucking several people and objects in. Reeve and several of his "brothers" were then sent to a strange parallel world.
Meet the Captain[]
Reeve found shelter in a ruined building. Here he encountered an unnamed Mother Base survivor from the aforementioned event, and although he initially intended to kill the survivor, he ultimately was forced to work together with the survivor to escape an encounter with a group of Wanderers. During the event, he was forced to gun down his former comrades, who had become one of the creatures.
After Reeve saved the survivor's life, Goodluck offered him the opportunity to work with him and the "Captain", and a reluctant Reeve accepted the offer. Reeve than planted some C-4 while the Captain made a way out of the ruins.
He destroyed the ruins with C4, though because he came down with hyperthermia, he initially wasn't able to aid the Captain directly. He also was suspicious about a Charon Corps member's death upon learning he died from being shot, suspecting that someone from within the Corps was responsible instead of the Wanderers, with his suspicions eventually being proven.
Behind the scenes[]
Reeve (リーヴ) is a character who appears in Metal Gear Survive. He is voiced by Matthew Mercer. He was first seen in the 5 minute gameplay trailer for the game, and was identified in a leaked gameplay video for the game.[1] He is the only character in the game besides the Captain to interact with Chris/Goodluck as both a child and an adult.
It's implied that Reeve has feelings for Miranda, with Dan even sarcastically calling the two "lovebirds."
After Chris's rescue, Reeve gives a soliloquy about how killing a child will cause the future to die with the child, even if by a small amount. This was taken from a cut radio conversation with Miller in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, during the first Africa mission.[2]
Reeve is voiced by Matt Mercer, who coincidentally also starred in another zombie centric series, Capcom's Resident Evil/Biohazard, as he played Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil Revelations 2, and in the animated movies, Damnation and Vendetta. He also auditioned, but was rejected, for the live-action film Resident Evil: Retribution.
