The Patriots are an organization whose sole purpose was once to carry out The Boss's final wish, and later sought to control the World.
Major Zero founded the group and recruited Ocelot, Big Boss, Para-Medic, Sigint and EVA.
In 2014, The Patriots, now fully controlled by the AI, managed to trick and manipulate the Rat Patrol 01 (similar to how they tricked Raiden) and enlisted Drebin (who knew of his stance as a Patriot helper) to helping Solid Snake and Otacon in their mission to terminate Liquid Ocelot. Though The Patriots did not foresee that Snake and Otacon would destroy them in the process thanks to the true nature of Ocelot's plan.
The Patriots were destroyed by FOXALIVE, an opposite to FOXDIE created by Naomi Hunter and Sunny Gurlukovich, which would infect and terminate the AIs which now ran The Patriots, ending them forever. However, Sunny managed to pick and choose parts of society vital to the survival of modern civilization.
