Alignment: Initially Lawful Good in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Naked Snake is solider who is willing to die for the President and the top brass if he needs to and is also shown be a good hearted person, such as when he prevented EVA from killing Ocelot due to him being young, despite Ocelot having previously tried to kill him twice and saving Tatyana from being shot by Ocelot, despite not knowing that she was actually his ally EVA in disguise), becomes Chaotic Good at the start of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (After killing The Boss and learning about her real mission given to her by the United States government, Big Boss left the U.S. and co-founded the private military company MSF, where he and the soldiers who joined MSF abandoned their loyalty to their countries. In MSF, Big Boss would accept a mission from a KBG agent to find out what the CIA was planning in Costa Rica and drive them out of the country, though he only did it to help Paz, who wanted peace for Costa Rica. Big Boss would then learn that the CIA was bringing nukes into Costa Rica and that said nukes were going to be launched, which Big Boss would attempt to stop), becomes Chaotic Neutral by the end of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (After witnessing The Boss AI drown itself to save the world, Big Boss would begin to believe that The Boss betrayed him by allowing herself to be killed. Sometime afterwards Big Boss would allow Metal Gear ZEKE to be loaded with a nuclear bomb. By the end of the game Big Boss would accept the fact that MSF would be fighting against the changing times of politics and that their battle would be lonely with no good or evil. In this battle with the times, Big Boss was willing to become a revolutionary, a criminal, and a terrorist if the times demanded it, with him noting how his actions will likely end with him going to hell when he dies), becomes Chaotic Evil in Metal Gear (Big Boss has fully become a terrorist by this point, leading the military nations Outer Heaven and later Zanzibar Land, threating the world with nuclear weaponry in order to challenge The Patriots. While leading Zanzibar Land, Big Boss would orchestrate the kidnapping of Dr. Kio Marv, holding the secrets of OILIX hostage, which was needed to solve a world energy crisis. Along with this, Big Boss would save children that were victims of war only so he could make them soldiers in the next war), becomes Neutral Good in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Big Boss is no longer a terrorist and has realized that he was wrong about The Boss, and that he should tried to leave the world the way it was instead of changing it into something else, with him noting that when he killed The Boss he "was already dead". Big Boss would visit Solid Snake and would tell him to live the rest of the life he has left instead of fighting and would tell him that the old FOXDIE within him would be killed by the new one so that he wouldn't have to kill himself to prevent an epidemic. He would also explain to Snake how he and The Patriots were wrong)
