Solid Snake- The first of the clones, who inherited Big Boss's dominant genes and was raised in the U.S. Ironically enough, he was the one who defeated Big Boss during the Outer Heaven Crisis and again, during the Zanzibar Land Uprising, before ultimately killing him in combat.
Liquid Snake- The second of the clones, who inherited Big Boss's recessive genes and was raised in the U.K. However, he was led to believe that he was the "inferior clone" with the recessive genes and began harboring an intense hatred towards Solid Snake. During the Shadow Moses Island incident, Liquid took over the nuclear disposal site where Metal Gear Rex was being developed while serving as field commander of Fox-Hound.
Solidus Snake- The third of the clones and an exact duplicate of Big Boss, inheriting both, recessive and dominant genes. Solidus served as President of the U.S. during the Shadow Moses incident under the name of George Sears. He later became leader of the terrorist group Sons of Liberty during the Big Shell takeover. He was eventually killed by Raiden.
Wierd, huh?


Was Big Boss Frozen In Time Or Did He Beome A Snatcher?

Huh? The Patriots?!
When we were introduced to the "Patriots" in Metal Gear Solid 2, at the time, some fans didn't know what was going on, some were confused as to who they were as we received bits of info and so forth. For those out there who are still unsure, I am here to give the simplest and quickest summarization.
The Patriots (aka La Li Lu Le Lo)
-Organization who ran or controlled the U.S. since the formation of America-
-Controls military, elections and the economy-
-More powerful than the President-
Wisemen's Committee
-BRANCH of the Patriots-
-Consists of 12 members-
-All supposedly dead since 1909-
-Every key decision is made by them-
-The President does not know their identities-
-Located in Manhattan or were-

You got it?! Simple, right! Hope that helps.
