Further information: Solid Snake

Teliko Friedman

Teliko is half American and half Japanese. Collin Friedman is her father. She's a soldier in the HRT special forces unit, and was once working under Roger's instruction.

Her father, a highly decorated hero, was always surrounded by lots of people. They would often flatter and manipulate him to get what they wanted. One day, he fell under suspicion of being the ringleader of a terrorist organization. He insisted on his innocence but evidence of his guilt began to surface more and more. He was buried in an avalanche of trumped-up scandal charges by the media. And later, at a hotel in Manhattan, he was found with a bullet in his head. Collin Friedman's suicide was all over the press; however, Teliko believed that her father was murdered...

A so-called suicide note was found in a bag at the hotel room. The note was typed with a computer, a cigarette butt with lipstick on it was found in the ashtray, and the room was heavy with a floral scent. Teliko assumes that her father was murdered by the six searchers. They were Greg, Arnold, Bob, Edward, Leon, and one other, whom Teliko couldn't identify. All of them were statesmen in the control of the underworld. At the end he smiled at Teliko and her mother, and said, "some day you'll know the truth."

At the beginning of the mission she is spotted by Lt. Leone and his henchmen, captured, then placed into the "Dreamtown" room by La Clown. Under the circumstances of Snake's misconception of her being La Clown and Teliko thinking defeating Snake was the only way of getting out, they both battle each other. Snake wins, then after rescuing her when the room begins to colapse, realizes that she is indeed not La Clown. After a brief exchange of words (and a little help from Roger) they both agree to work together. She is then Snake's partener for the rest of the mission. It is revealed that La Clown was responsible for her father's death and her revenge is exacted at the near end with Clown's death.

Roger McCoy

Template:Metal Gear Character A member of the CIA. Originally from New Jersey. He's been away from actual combat missions for quite some time, and has been working as an instructor for new recruits.

Among past regrets, he once made a terrible mistake in the Vietnam War. There was a harsh battle, which took place in the midst of chaos -- in a place with no front lines as he put it. It took his unit hours just to advance a number of meters. The tension was thick. They received a tip at that time that a mole was among them -- an enemy spy. He deduced that Leon (then known as Jeff Jones) in his unit was that mole. The other soldiers in his unit were highly suspicious of each other and under a great deal of stress. But his accusing words were breath of a fresh air to them. Everyone chased after Leone accused...including Roger. It became a hunting game to them. Almost as if competing for his blood. Things got out of hand. But Leone...shot down dozens of his men, and managed to get away. From then on, Leone's whereabouts were unknown.

When he went to bring Snake out of retirement, he claimed to be an acquaintance of Roy Campbel's who said that he recommended Snake highly. But they're not what one would consider "old friends." All he knew about Snake were the legends and rumors. The person who so enthusiastically recommended Snake for the mission was Alice. Alice agreed to participate on this mission on condition of Snake's involvement. Appointing Alice was a direct order. He had no choice but to accept her. Hence, they were both put in as spotters for Snake for the entire mission after Roger brought him out of retirement from his home in Ancourage, Alaska.

At the end, he attempted to redeem himself for participating in the conspiracy by turning his gun on Alice. However she immediately saw through his plot and she ended up shooting him instead. Fortunately for him the shot was non-fatal, Alice died a few minutes later from a mental overflow of information due to her being part of the Neoteny, and Roger was to be hospitalized. He then learned from Snake that Jeff Jones (Leone) wasn't the mole back in South Vietnam.

He then explains that an intelligence source informed him that the unit held responsible for invading the lab was a giant soldier with black hair. He knew that Jeff had taken on the name Leone and was participating in armed terror plots. He was emberassed by what had happend back then. But at the same time, He couldn't let go. He volunteered for this as has final mission. In order to face Jeff. When he introduced my self as Roger McCoy, Jeff answered, "Truly a pleasure." At that moment, he realized the truth. He knew that Jeff wasn't the spy. That Jeff was innocent. He felt that his misguided suspicions must had ruined Jeff's life. Snake then tells Roger that "Leone" had a tranquil expression on his face when he died, as if he'd been reunited with the father he hadn't seen for so long. Roger was then pleased to hear that.

Alice Hazel

A young woman from England. She's been using her psychic abilities, namely remote viewing, to aid the FBI and CIA in various cases for a number of years. This is, however, revealed at the end of the game to be a cover-up for her own hidden motives.

La Clown

La Clown (a.k.a Swallowtail) was part of the terrorist group occupying the Lobito labrotory. A master of disguise, La Clown's real name, motives and even gender are unknown (though she is later revealed to be female). She first ecountered Snake while posing as Teliko Freidman, calling herself "Swallow-Tail".

She co-operated with Snake and coerced him to give her the Pythagoras data when Snake was experiencing doubts over his identity. She later double crossed Snake and stole the data. She forced Snake and the real Teliko to fight, although they eventually teamed up. La Clown confronted Snake and Teliko on their way to Metal Gear, retaining the appearance of Teliko in an attempt to confuse Snake. During the ensuing fight she appeared to teleport around the room and create copies of herself (which had the characteristics of ACUA soldiers). After being defeated in battle, La Clown reveals that her real face was disfigured in a fire. After she dies the burns appear on her face in the shape of a swallowtail butterfly. Her abilities and background are easily comparable to Decoy Octopus and Psycho Mantis respectively.
