Gene, also known as Viper, is the main antagonist in Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops. He was the commander of FOX during the San Hieronymo Incident. Gene's unique color was never shown.
Originally known under the codename of Viper, Gene became the FOX unit's central member after Big Boss left. He led the FOX unit's revolt in the hope of turning the San Hieronymo base into Army's Heaven , a new nation, run for and by soldiers. It was later revealed that he was the product of the "Successor Project", the goal of which was to create the "ultimate battlefield commander" modelled after The Boss. Because of this, Gene thinks of himself and Big Boss as being "like brothers."
Big Boss confronted Gene near the end of the San Hyeronimo Incident and Gene taunted him with information regarding the nature of The Boss's defection, the deep rooted corruption within the White House and even hints at genetic engineering. Gene murdered Elisa, exemplifying his hypocritical, two-faced nature and launched Metal Gear RAXA, resulting in a fight to the death with Big Boss. However Big Boss managed to triumph, allowing Gene the revelation that Big Boss was indeed the true successor after all, and relinquishes the funds for Army's Heaven. His last words are reminiscent of the last words of The Boss, and he pleads with Big Boss to go find his calling.
