Morpho was a member of the private military company, Militaires Sans Frontières, acting as a pilot for one of the group's Hind D gunships in the mid 1970s. He and a co-pilot were dispatched to retrieve Big Boss, the leader of MSF, as well as any VIPs and prisoners that he rescued from the United States Prison Facility in Cuba during MSF's operations there.

Warning: The following events occur in the pseudo-historical Side Ops in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes; its level of canonicity is ambiguous.

On December 7, 1974, Morpho was dispatched to retrieve an MSF Intel Team agent that requested emergency extraction. He attempted to hail the agent, although the agent did not respond. Eventually, the agent hailed the chopper. After Morpho was given the go-ahead by the MSF deputy commander Kazuhira Miller, he attempted to make contact with the agent. However, static interference with the communications resulted in Morpho being unable to decipher the agent's location. He eventually followed the trail from a flare to the agent's location, with Big Boss covering the chopper from the base personnel. After clearing out any enemy resistance in the way of the agent, Morpho proceeded to escort the agent, who had hijacked a jeep, to the heliport. However, the jeep ended up hit with a portable missile, forcing him to land so Big Boss could recover the agent and place him on board the chopper. He was later forced to ascend into the air when an APC burst into the helipad, as the APC would have destroyed the chopper otherwise. After both Big Boss and the agent were secure aboard the chopper, Morpho then left, with Big Boss also taking care of a Blackhawk chopper that was pursuing them. He then proceeded to return to base.

On January 9, 1975, Morpho broke off from an attack run to extract Big Boss from the base, after it became apparent that the base was going to be blown away by an attack run by two attack aircraft that were arriving at the base within 3 minutes.[1]

Side Ops information ends here.

On March 16, 1975, Morpho was assigned to recover Big Boss, Chico and Paz from the base in Cuba, once the former had rescued the latter two. After recovering them, Morpho then headed back to Mother Base, but was unable to make contact due to the base having fallen under heavy attack by the military group XOF. With Big Boss's help, he then extracted Miller and another surviving MSF soldier, before one of the struts collapsed due to C4 being rigged on its legs. Morpho then lost control of the Hind, when a bomb planted inside Paz's body detonated outside the cabin, causing it to collide with an XOF chopper in mid-flight.
