== Charactah Account ==
Naked Snake's mentor and a war hero who led the Cobra Unit, a multinational team of elite Supernatural Warriors who practically won World War II for the Allies. During the early events of Metal Gear Solid 3, the Boss defects to the Soviet Union with her fellow Cobras, causing a dramatic power shift between the East and West. This is bad news for Khrushchev, whose political rivals are secretly conspiring with The Boss' new employer. Enraged, Khrushchev threatens war, and D.C. is left with no choice but to slay The Boss and her leader as recompense. Snake now stands accused of colluding in the Boss' defection, and must cooperate in her assassination to save himself and the Major from execution.
At the story's conclusion, the Boss willingly lays down her life and is shot by Snake, who returns to the states to find that The Boss was a double-agent all along, having been ordered to sneak into Volgin's unit and steal back the Philosopher's Legacy. The plan went sour after Volgin nuked the Shagahod laboratory, blowing the CIA's cover and forcing them into plausible denial mode, declaring The Boss a rogue agent. Snake is devastated by the casualness of how The Boss was used and thrown away, and he immediately resigns in protest.
