Early careerEdit
The Four Horsemen were comprised of former elite members of SAS, GSG 9 and UDT. They utilized their combined skills within confined spaces to great advantage, and took their missions directly from Zanzibar Land's president, Big Boss, when the target was of high priority.
Zanzibar Land DisturbanceEdit
The Four Horsemen fought against Solid Snake in the central elevator of the Tower Building, during the Zanzibar Land Disturbance, under orders from Big Boss and his lieutanant, Gray Fox. While heading up to the higher floors, Snake's elevator was forcibly halted, and the Four Horsemen descended from the roof to attack him. However, despite outnumbering Snake, the four were defeated after being taken on one at a time.
Behind the scenesEdit
In the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the Four Horsemen (フォー・ホースメン Fō Hōsumen?) were named Ultra Box (ウルトラボックス Urutora Bokkusu?), after the British pop band Ultravox (both are spelled and pronounced the same way in Japanese). Their name was changed to the Four Horsemen in the re-released versions of the game.
There is a mandatory battle in Metal Gear Solid that resembles the boss fight against Ultra Box in Metal Gear 2, in which the player must fight off four enemy soldiers who ambush the player in an elevator.
