From the Metal Gear Solid Official Mission Handbook...
"My goal is straightforward. I make the impossible possible."
A veteran ex-Fox-Hound member with an intelligence quotientof 180. Solid Snake's rather nomadic past existence and psychological profile make him perfect as a past deep operative. Previous missions have shown his exceptional ability to enter any enemy structure and coompound under any situation (from jungle terrain to desert warfare). After being recruited for the Outer Heaven mission in the late 1990s, Solid Snake's subsequent success, professional approach to enemy disposal and dedication to the cause propelled the Fox-Hound organization into the spotlight throughout the world, enabling many more operatives to be hired. However, Solid Snake retired from the unit soon after the Outer Heaven crisis.
A man of Solid Snake's talents did not rest long, and was contracted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to become a deep cover agent. Not content with the bureaucracy surrounding the organization (Solid Snake's main concerns, which were expressed rather vocally, were met with an almost constant rebuttal). Solid Snake fought against the system before cutting all ties with the CIA. He disappeared into the underworld, earning a living for a number of years as a mercenary and offering his execution duties and skills to the highest bidder.
Earning enough money to semi-retire (and needing a lengthy pause after a number of despotic dictators and other men of dishonor were assassinated), Solid Snake moved to the Canadian wilderness, where he rehabilitated in deep seclusion. Only his old commander, Roy Campbell, knew of Solid Snake's whereabouts, and Campbell was quick to locate and hire him for a volatile situation that was developing int he Middle East. This was later codenamed the Uprising of Zanzibar. Solid Snake's mission was to infiltrate and bring down the military rulership of Zanzibar, along with its dictator, known only as Big Boss.
After the apparent death of Big Boss and devolution of Zanzibar, Solid Snake returned to his solitary existence, this time retreating to a remote area in the Alaskan mountains called Twin Lakes (an area around 50 miles to the West of Mount McKinley). Finally at peace, Solid Snake resided in a small log cabin, living off the abundance of wild plants and wildlife. During this time, Solid Snake developed a particular taste for blueberries and salmonberries, and continued to block his mind from the past atrocities he had ensured. Not surprisingly, his past two missions had led to a psychological disorder known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He experienced intence hallucinations, guilt and flashbacks of the battlefield trauma, leading to increased mental confusion, a problem he attempted to banish by indulging in Huskie sleigh racing and befriending an Eskimo from the Yup'ik tribe, who helped to train the sleigh dogs. Solid Snake had just formally entered the Iditarod Trail Sleigh Race and was preparing himself and his hounds for the trek. However, governmental forces and Solid Snake's old commander intervened at the last minute. Solid Snake was recalled into active service for one final sortie.
