Who is zero mgs4

Meanwhile, Cipher planned to use the sons as insurance against Big Boss should the time arise. Having his suspicions on who was behind the attack, Zero contacted EVA to head the operation to move his comatose friend, Miller, and an unconscious medic from Colombia to a safe hospital in Cyprus.

He then devised a plan whereby the medic would be transformed into Big Boss's "Phantom" body double through hypnotherapy and plastic surgery to make him believe he was the real Big Boss so that he could act as his public face until the time came for his resurgence.

He approached Ocelot about the plan first; Ocelot, though sceptical towards co-operating with Zero and the plan itself, agreed to help implement it, and took to looking over Big Boss and his phantom later dubbed Venom Snake as they were in their respective comas.

Zero also contacted Miller, explaining that he had nothing to do with the attack, identifying Skull Face and XOF as the true culprits, and offered him economical support so he could continue building up his new PMC, Diamond Dogs , his successor to MSF, asking him to await Big Boss's return to lead the company.

He told Miller that the pass code for the event would be "V has come to". While Miller begrudgingly accepted Zero's support, he made sure to tell him that whether he had ordered the attack on MSF or not, he still held him responsible for the incident and all the friends he lost that day, and when the time came for him and Big Boss to work together again, he would see to it that once they had hunted down Skull Face, they would also come for him and the rest of Cipher.

Zero merely replied that they would not be able to find him. Ultimately, Zero learned the hard way that Skull Face had planned for years to attack him, as Skull Face wanted to free himself. As Zero spent his time in hiding and relayed orders via proxies since the cloning project, Skull Face never had an opportunity to track him down until Paz's survival was discovered.

He then had her abducted, ostensibly due to her being a traitor to Cipher, to gain information on where Zero was located, as she was the only agent to have actually met Zero face-to-face.

During this time, Zero had been undergoing medical treatment secretly at 10th Avenue of Hell's Kitchen in New York City for an unknown ailment. Not long after Skull Face attacked MSF, he sent Zero a pin, a very close copy of the Winged Dagger pin that was once owned by The Boss, which was laced with a strain of parasite that would eventually reduce Zero to a vegetative state, supposedly as he recovered from The Boss' body in Russia. During the "business call" supposed to confirm Zero received the package, Zero pricked himself while examining the pin, the wound became the vector for the parasite to enter his body; by the end of the phone call, the parasite began to take effect, leaving Zero in debilitating pain.

Although the best physicians attempted to delay the effects, Zero was resigned to his fate. As he was woefully aware that his ability to run Cipher would grow increasingly diminished with the progression of his illness, he secretly arranged for the DARPA AI developer Strangelove , who had resigned from MSF over a week before the failed inspection, and initially not been aware of DARPA's connection to Cipher, to develop for him an AI network to take over the Patriots, having already lost faith in the new generation.

However, she was eventually forced out after a "certain incident. However, Skull Face and the XOF took over Cipher's operations to more effectively carry out his plans of destroying the English language, forcing Zero to rely on his own resources to effectively hide from Skull Face. By , he also paid Big Boss a visit in Cyprus and intended to bid him farewell and presumably bury the hatchet between them.

In order to ensure his disappearance and destination was kept secret, he also orchestrated a blackout in New York City that same year that disrupted communications and transportation via two submarines, also giving a cover story. Despite this, it is implied that Miller may have been aware of Zero's ultimate fate.

By the time of Skull Face's death in , Zero had fully entered his vegetative state and was relegated to life support. Years later, control of Cipher was given over fully to the AI system, called "The Patriots" - a reference to the fact that Zero's intent to unify the thought and awareness of every individual through the control of information could be considered a kind of 'patriotism'.

Unfortunately for Zero, what he had brought about had unforeseeable consequences: Namely, Big Boss, whilst his phantom dealt with the threat of Skull Face, had neglected to go into hiding and change his face, and had instead begun to build the 'true' Outer Heaven fortress nation in South Africa with the aim of launching a coup d'etat against The Patriots so that he could finally realise his dream of a world unified by perpetual conflict - the one world where soldiers would always have a place and would be able to fight for themselves, entirely free from political domination.

This ultimately resulted in the badly burned Big Boss being placed into a nanomachine -induced coma by The Patriots after his defeat in Zanzibar Land, in accordance with Zero's will as he had considered Big Boss an irreplaceable friend and had endeavoured to keep him alive by any means necessary - in a sense, their actions could be considered a replication of what Zero did after Big Boss was attacked by Skull Face, although this coma was not one they intended him to wake up from.

To make matters worse, his AIs ended up completely abandoning his will and crafted their own, and even his closest allies Donald Anderson and Dr. Clark grew corrupt after Cipher was fully absorbed by The Patriots AI system and their political power was reduced to nothing. Although they had begun to fully realise Zero's grand plan to unify the world via information control with the creation of GW and the the successful test of the S3 plan in , The Patriots would later deviate from his will after deciding the War Economy and SOP were a more effective solution to the problem of controlling humanity.

SOP would eventually have given them direct control over the actions and emotions of the entire population once it had been extended to the civilian level, effectively enslaving all human beings had it come to fruition. In , Big Boss had awakened and then discovered Zero in a persistent vegetative state kept alive solely by life support equipment.

Big Boss lamented that this man had nearly "brought the world to the brink of ruin" without even realising it. Reflecting on their past experiences, Big Boss switched off Zero's life support equipment.

As Zero was struggling to breathe, Big Boss pressed his hands over Zero's chest to stop him from moving as he died, ending the dictatorship he unwittingly created and putting his former friend to peace. Zero had a prominent scar over his left eye and also believed that he had once been abducted by aliens. Due to his SAS training, he often looked down upon the American Armed Forces' methods of conducting operations, viewing them as sloppy, such as the fact that they relied too much on prepared equipment, such as a flashlight, or that they would leave their feces on the battlefield.

Zero was a huge fan of the James Bond films. Zero talked to Naked Snake about the intricacies and technological side of Bond's spy equipment and suggested that Snake be more like Bond, equipped with a "Snake shaped gun" and would get into an argument on the subject with Snake harboring a disinterest in the series and the spy genre in general.

Zero also admitted that he personally didn't approve of how Bond interacted with female spies, after supposedly deducing one of the factors in Snake's dislike for the character. Sokolov said that Zero was a man of his word and a man of honor as he kept his promise to rescue him from the Soviet Union and apologized for being so late.

In addition, Zero also was one who judged people on their merits rather than physical differences, as evidenced by his hiring Donald Anderson despite the former being banned from the workplace due to his ethnicity.

Zero had a keen eye for talent when recruiting operatives for missions, as he was responsible for recruiting several talented soldiers, mercenaries, spies and even assassins including Big Boss, Revolver Ocelot, Para-Medic, Sigint, Paz, Skull Face, and numerous others who would later become famous throughout the years.

The Major had a particular interest in recruiting oddballs, people who displayed unique combat abilities, physical features, or even mannerisms that was often considered out of the ordinary in most people's eyes. One example of this would be Zero's recruitment of Skull Face, who had impressed the Major with his skills as an assassin and military tactician despite his horribly disfigured appearance.

Another example would be Zero's recruitment of Paz, being impressed by her keen senses and ability to fool others using her youthful appearance, using her to infiltrate Big Boss's mercenary group MSF as way to keep tabs on him as well as to steal Metal Gear Zeke once it was completed, although she had ultimately failed her mission and was later captured by Skull Face, who used her to strike against the Major.

Of all his recruits, Zero's most complicated recruit was also his best recruit, Jack, the man who would become the legendary mercenary Big Boss. Upon meeting him, Zero knew he had chosen the right man for the Virtuous Mission, being impressed with the young man's military record as well as Jack's training underneath with his old ally, the Boss.

While they had little in common, both were deeply motivated by the Boss' final words before dying, and chose to live the rest of their lives trying to rebuild the world the Boss had always striven for. As time went on, Zero came to see Jack as the greatest soldier he ever had the pleasure of working with, surpassing even his mentor. Knowing that Jack was sterile due to his exposure to radiation, Zero took it upon himself to carry on Big Boss' legacy and decided to clone him without his knowledge, knowing that he wouldn't approve.

Big Boss was initially allied with Zero in joining the Patriots until he found out about the Les Enfants Terribles project, causing him to leave the Patriots, an act which Zero saw as unacceptable. Major Zero also makes an appearance at the end of MGS4. He is the old fart in the wheelchair, clearly in a coma. Thus ends the whole thing that started this entire story to begin with. Pretty ironic, no?

And to clear something up for you, xiao, Big Boss had much more than three sons. He had hundreds. Not to mention "The Terrible Twins" project that created Solid, Solidus, and Liquid originally had eight clones, but five died.

In fact, he aged faster than any of Big Bosses clones to become president of the U. He was also a perfect clone of Big Boss, which explains why he and Big Boss look exactly alike.

He is now years old, and exists purely in a vegetative state. Big Boss says that "it all started with zero, and must end with zero".

He cuts off Zero's air, thereby killing the founder of the Patriots. This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:. Until you earn points all your submissions need to be vetted by other Giant Bomb users.
