BiographyEdit

Early life and careerEdit

Jacobsen was an academic friend of Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar during their college years. He began his career as a member of Green Peace. He then worked as vice chairman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and served as a biology adviser for Maxwell magazine.^[1] He had also heard about FOXHOUND's exploits, although he was curious as to why they used animal codenames, feeling that animals were not inherently warlike.

Zanzibar Land DisturbanceEdit

Main Article

During the time of Operation Intrude F014, Jacobsen was near Zanzibar Land conducting research on the desert wildlife of the Middle East. Solid Snake learned his radio frequency from Dr. Madnar during his mission and would contact him when dealing with animal-related matters. While discussing these, Jacobsen would often bring up the topic of food, in relation to the subject of the conversation.

Behind the scenesEdit

Johan Jacobsen (ヨハン・ヤコブセン, Yohan Yakobusen^?) was named Yozef Norden (ヨゼフ・ノルデン, Yosefu Noruden^?) in the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. His name and appearance were later changed in the re-released versions of the game.

It is speculated that Norden's original appearance is based on either actors Donald Pleasence or Danny DeVito.
