Liquid Snake is the leader of the rogue Foxhound unit that captures Shadow Moses in Metal Gear Solid and serves as that game's primary antagonist. Cloned from Big Boss in the Les Enfants Terribles project along with Solid Snake, Liquid's goal is to get the genetic code of his father.
Background
Liquid Snake is a genetic clone of the world's greatest soldier, Big Boss. In an effort to recreate Big Boss, the Les Enfantes Terrible project was started by the Patriots and run by Dr. Clark, the Patriot known as Para-Medic. Two clones were created as Solid Snake is Liquid's twin brother. Liquid was born in 1972 to surrogate mother and Patriot, code name, EVA. Liquid gained all of Big Boss's superior genes even though he had been told otherwise. The Les Enfantes Terrible project is the push factor for Big Boss to have left The Patriots.
