Now do you remember? Who you are? What you
were meant to do? I cheated death, thanks to
you. And thanks to you I've left my mark. You
have too – you've written your own history.
You’re your own man. I'm Big Boss, and you are
too… No… He’s the two of us. Together. Where we
are today? We built it. This story – this “legend”
– it’s ours. We can change the world – and with
it, the future. I am you, and you are me. Carry
that with you, wherever you go. Thank you... my
friend. From here on out, you’re Big Boss.

A former member of the Special Forces unit
FOX, and a hero who once saved the world from
nuclear war. Hailed as a true patriot by the U.S.
President and given the title of Big Boss, he
subsequently retired from FOX.
“
As a member of the special-forces unit FOX,
Naked Snake assassinated The Boss and ruined
the Shagohod, a Soviet nuclear weapon. Years
later, he was used to plant the seeds of Les
Enfants Terribles, a project designed to create
cloned super soldiers. The three Snakes - Liquid,
Solid, and Solidus - were thus born. He would
then embrace his name, Big Boss, and duel
Solid Snake.
