Snake was a initially a FOXHOUND operative. Still a rookie, he was chosen to infiltrate the heavily fortified fortress Outer Heaven near South Africa, rescue his fellow operative Gray Fox and other prisoners and destroy a new super weapon called Metal Gear. Unbeknownst to Snake, his superior who ordered him into Outer Heaven, Big Boss, was behind the uprising. Using all his training and abilities, Snake managed to destroy Metal Gear and defeat Big Boss.
After the Outer Heaven incident, Solid Snake retired from FOXHOUND and spent some time as a CIA agent and mercenary for hire. Earning enough money, he went into semi-retirement in the Canadian wilderness. Eventually, Snake's former commander, Roy Campbell, recalled him for another operation in Central Asia. Snake's mission involved deposing the rising dictator of Zanzibar Land, who turned out to be none other than Big Boss himself, and had command of another Metal Gear tank as well as Snake's former comrade Gray Fox. Snake defeated Gray Fox and the new Metal Gear. Before defeating Big Boss for good, Snake learned that the super soldier Big Boss was his genetic "father."
After the Zanzibar Uprising, Snake returned to North America and retired to an Alaskan wilderness retreat, Twin Lakes, to try to forget his war-torn past and recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but when members of recently re-formed FOXHOUND took over the supposed nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island (really a testing ground for the new Metal Gear), Campbell came calling on Snake again. This time, Snake found himself pitted against genetic enhanced, superhuman soldiers. Along the way, Snake periodically teamed up with potential love interest Meryl Silverburgh. The leader of FOXHOUND was revealed to be "Liquid Snake," Solid Snake's own genetic brother and the spoiled outcast of the "Les Enfants Terribles" super soldier project. After destroying the new Metal Gear REX and eliminating Liquid during an intense car chase, Snake went into deep hiding with his new partner, Metal Gear REX engineer Hal Emmerich.
The two men worked to create the first anti-Metal Gear political group, called "Philanthropy." Snake and Otacon, needing photographic proof that the Marine Corps were developing a new amphibious Metal Gear, proceed to New York City, following up a rumor that a ship carrying such proof was scheduled to travel through the Hudson. While investigating, the ship and Metal Gear Ray were taken by Gurlukovich mercenaries. As they were about to take Metal Gear Ray, Revolver Ocelot betrayed Sergi Gurlukovich and took Ray for an unknown force.
Framed for the terrorist act, Solid Snake was believed to have been killed during the incident, and his body was buried (it was actually the body of his twin brother, Liquid Snake). During an incident at Big Shell, a year later, Solid Snake turned up (hiding his identity), and assisted new FOXHOUND operative, Raiden, in rescuing hostages and discovering the plot of former President George Sears, who reveals himself to be the third "son" of Big Boss, brother of Solid and Liquid Snake and the one who ordered Ocelot to steal Metal Gear Ray. Calling himself Solidus Snake, the leader of the Sons of Liberty, he was working to overthrow a mysterious underlying force that drives the United States' government called The Patriots. Ocelot then betrays Solidus, upon the orders of the Patriots. At the end of this mission, Snake began looking into who the Patriots were and how Ocelot was involved.
