CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Liquid Snake
Age: 38
Canon: Metal Gear
Canon Point: Post MGS2, after his arm (and spirit) are cut off of Ocelot
Character Information: MGS wiki
Personality: Liquid Snake has always been angry about his situation in life. As a child, young Eli knew all about his father (Big Boss, the so-called greatest soldier of the 20th century) and the reason he existed: as his clone. As far as he knew (and still knows), he was meant to be the "flaw," created only so his twin brother David (Solid Snake) could get all the "dominant genes" while he got the "recessive" ones. This "knowledge", along with the way he was treated, caused him to escape from his handlers as a child and try to make his own name for himself. He took on the name Nyoka ya Mpembe, the White Mamba, but when Venom Snake captured him he was forced to go by Eli. He can't stand his real name and prefers to go by Liquid, or any sort of alias if he has to, but never Eli.
He only grew more bitter as time went on and he learned more about his circumstances, essentially planning to go beyond his genetic destiny by surpassing his father. Since he was unable to kill his father himself, his chance "stolen" by his brother, all he can do is take what his father created and destroy it in favor of himself. He's still determined to destroy his father's legacy in favor of his own, although being removed from Ocelot's body isn't exactly helping matters any.
Upon gaining command of FOXHOUND, his father's old special forces unit, he made some modifications to fit the way he wanted to run things, focusing it on a small group of specialists. Whether the team believed in what he believed in or not, they still followed him. Under his leadership the unit accomplished a lot, working together seamlessly, which all came into Liquid's plan to surpass his father. Even so, the anti-terrorism unit suddenly became known as terrorists once they took over Shadow Moses. In Liquid's mind, though, it was a revolution, the next step in accomplishing what he wanted to do: surpass his father.
As a child, his hatred and anger were so extreme that the powerful psychic child Tretij Rebenok (Psycho Mantis) was drawn to him over everyone else in the vicinity, including the man he was working for to begin with, helping him lash out against the man he thought was his father. This created a psychic link between the two of them, and eventually this even led to Mantis saving his life, multiple times. Due to this Mantis became the person he trusted the most overall. Beyond Mantis, he has trouble trusting anyone at all, even the people he works with. Being captured in the Middle East during the Gulf War due to being sold out did nothing to help with his trust issues. It is possible to gain his trust, but it requires some serious effort.
Despite his inferiority complex, or more likely because of it, he can be extremely arrogant and egotistical. He often tends to focus on how things would affect himself rather than others, even under the guise of it being for others. He claims surpassing his father's legacy will help soldiers such as himself and his brother, but it was generally himself that he's thinking of.
"Dramatic" could very well be his middle name. He often gestures wildly as he talks, and tends to enjoy the use of metaphors and other wordplay in order to make his point. Sometimes he'll just talk to hear himself talk. He can often be overemotional, especially when it comes to anger.
A charismatic leader, he can be very manipulative, but is also easily manipulated himself. He can often figure out just what to say to get under people's skin, or at least try to; he has a lot to say to his brother to try and convince him of how he is worse than Liquid is. It's not difficult to sway Liquid's way of thinking, either. The Shadow Moses revolution mainly happened because his teammate Ocelot (a master manipulator himself) managed to convince him it was a good idea, and even back in the Middle East he'd been easily brainwashed by his captors. Appeal to his emotions enough, and he might just find a new way of thinking about something.
He is incredibly persistent, no matter what happens. A catchphrase of his is "It's not over yet," and he seems to live by that. Once he has a goal, he'll try to reach it by any means necessary, no matter what he has to do to achieve it. The only thing that took him down completely was a virus written to give him a heart attack. Even after he died, he refused to give up, his spirit taking the opportunity to possess his former teammate Ocelot after the man took his arm. The only thing that got rid of him was Ocelot cutting the arm off himself.
But clearly, it's not over yet.
