Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar was a robotics engineer responsible for the creation of the Metal Gear TX-55 prototype in Outer Heaven and its successor, Metal Gear D in Zanzibar Land.
In 1995, he was captured on his way to the United States and was forced to make war machines for Big Boss in Outer Heaven while his daughter was also held hostage. Pettrovich informed Solid Snake of Metal Gear's weakness after he rescued his daughter, Ellen.
Four years later, Madnar met with Snake in Zanzibar Land, and appeared to have been taken prisoner along with Dr. Kio Marv. In truth, Dr. Pettrovich was in Zanzibar Land voluntarily, overseeing the development of the new Metal Gear D, partly out of revenge for being rejected by the American scientific community and his subsequent institution into an asylum.
Snake, believing Pettrovich to be a prisoner in Zanzibar Land, rescued the engineer, who informed him that Big Boss was in command of operations in the area. He orchestrated Dr. Marv's kidnapping, and eventual death. Snake learned the truth from agent Holly White, and confronted Pettrovich. The doctor attacked Snake, but was easily defeated.
Pettrovich somehow survived after Zanzibar Land and went into hiding, living a life of seclusion, quietly working on his robotics. Sometime between the events of The Manhattan Incident and the Guns of the Patriots Plan of 2014, Raiden was outfitted with a cybernetic ninja exoskeleton, similar to the one worn by Gray Fox, by Dr. Madnar.

[edit] Trivia
- In the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2, Pettrovich's in-game appearance resembles that of Albert Einstein.
- His name was originally given simply as "Dr. Pettrovich" in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear. The manual of the game list his daughter as "Elen Pettrovich", suggesting that Pettrovich was a surname. However, in the MSX2 Metal Gear 2 Pettrovich gained the full name of "Petrovich Madnar" after a character with the same name in Snatcher, but was still referred as "Dr. Pettrovich" by the characters. In the re-releases of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, his full name is given as "Drago Pettrovich Madnar" and his daughter is now "Elen Madnar."
- The aforementioned Dr. Pettrovich Madnar (or Petrovich Modnar, as his name is spelled in the English version) from Snatcher is the father of Elijah Madnar, the mastermind behind the Snatcher menace. He is also the creator of Randam Hajile, a bioroid hunter built in Elijah's likeness.
