After the player subdues Eli, he is taken into Mother Base where the Diamond Dogs staff try to re-educate him and integrate him into normal society along with the other child soldiers. The player first encounters Eli in Masa Village after it is taken over by Eli's group in Episode 23. He becomes an active mercenary in the Angola-Zaire border region in Central Africa, where he sets up his own mercenary unit consisting entirely of children, nicknamed the White Mamba ( ホワイトマンバ, Howaito Manba) or "Nyoka ya Mpembe" due to being the only white child soldier in the region. The youth is a 12-year-old child soldier named Eli ( イーライ, Īrai ) who fled from his home in England after learning about his nature as a clone. Liquid Snake's next official appearance is in a prequel. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty įurther information: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Liquid's death leaves Snake in doubt of his own survival, as FOXDIE targets its victims based on specific DNA. Just as he approaches a trapped Snake, Liquid suddenly succumbs to the FOXDIE virus that had been injected into his twin brother. Snake prevails, but Liquid survives again and pursues Snake in a jeep chase that results in a crash outside the island's facility. Snake destroys REX, but falls unconscious in the aftermath, allowing Liquid to take his unconscious brother to the top of the ruined REX and challenge him to a fistfight.

Afterward, Liquid manipulates Snake into activating Metal Gear REX by disguising himself as Master Miller. First, Liquid tries to kill Snake by piloting a Hind D and pursuing him across the Communication Towers, but Snake destroys the helicopter with anti-air Stinger missiles. The two brothers battle each other multiple times throughout the story. Snake first meets Liquid after he is taken captive by the enemy and imprisoned in a medical room. In reality, it is Liquid who carries superior genes. Liquid harbors a strong resentment towards his twin brother Solid Snake, as he mistakenly believes that Snake received Big Boss's superior genes, while he was given only the flawed genes. He leads the hostile takeover of Shadow Moses Island to acquire Big Boss's remains and use his genetic information to treat the mutations affecting his subordinates, the Genome Army. Liquid Snake ( Japanese: リキッド・スネーク, Hepburn: Rikiddo Sunēku) was raised in the United Kingdom following his birth, and served as an operative for the British SAS and later became the field commander of FOXHOUND during Metal Gear Solid, leading Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven, Decoy Octopus and the Genome Soldiers.
