Personality:
Snake is a very dangerous individual. He isn't called the greatest warrior of the 20th century for nothing. He can break bones simply by punching you three times, disarm you, and make you suffer. Though a hero to his people, he can have more of an anti-hero personality. His past conflicts within him and there is much he knows that the world does not know and will never know.
Other:
Around 1964, Jack took part in the Virtuous Mission as a member of the FOX unit, in which he was to rescue a defecting Soviet scientist named Sokolov. It was during this mission that he was given the codename "Naked Snake" in honor of The Boss's former unit, the Cobra Unit. It was also during this mission that he participated in the world's first High Altitude-Low Opening (HALO) jump. However, this mission failed, due to the defection of The Boss. As a result of the events that followed the failure, he was also imprisoned by the US Government while in Intensive Care, with the government considering executing Snake because they thought he might have had involvement in The Boss's defection.
A week later, the Government decided to pardon Snake of any involvement in The Boss's defection, under one condition: The FOX unit and Snake were to participate in Operation Snake Eater, in which the objective was to eliminate The Boss and her new Soviet ally, Colonel Volgin, rescue Sokolov and destroy the Shagohod. The Shagohod was a tank capable of launching nuclear missiles from great distances. It was during this mission that Snake came across the prototype designs for the TX-55 Metal Gear and Metal Gear REX from Granin, who was sending them to a colleague in America.
During this mission, Snake had to fight off members of The Boss's former unit, the Cobra Unit. He also attempted to disguise himself as Major Raikov and knock out the real Raikov to infiltrate the production facility of Groznyj Grad, rescue Sokolov and find out how to destroy the Shagohod. However, the rescue attempt backfired when Volgin, being Raikov's lover, saw through his disguise easily and resulted in his capture. Snake had his right eye accidentally damaged by Ocelot's Colt Single Action Army, while in captivity for torture, in order to save EVA's life. However, he succeeded in completing the mission, and killed The Boss. For this, he was awarded the code name "Big Boss" and the Distinguished Service Cross by President Lyndon Johnson.
Big Boss, however, was heavily affected by the events of Operation Snake Eater. He had been forced to kill his old mentor, The Boss, and discovered that the whole operation (including The Boss's supposed defection) was a ruse set up by his government, to avoid taking the blame for a nuclear attack, while secretly getting their hands on the Philosophers' Legacy (a large sum of money [at least 1.2 trillion dollars] collected by the highest powers in China, the Soviet Union, and United States around the time of World War II). Big Boss lost sight of what he was fighting for, and with it, his patriotism for his country. Because of this, he decided to retire from FOX. He was mentally discouraged and alone. Unbeknownst to him, his disposing of Colonel Volgin had also made him a hero to the people of the Soviet Union.
