Peter Stillman
From the Metal Gear Wiki
Peter Stillman is the bomb disposal expert that helps Raiden and Iroquois Pliskin during the Big Shell incident. Regarded as the foremost expert on bomb disposal, Stillman has helped to defuse dozens of terrorist bombs during his career. In 2004, Stillman was called in to defuse a terrorist bomb in a famous church. During the disposal, Stillman accidentally triggered the bomb. The church was obliterated along with a nearby playground. Even with all his experience, Stillman couldn't stop the bomb. Unable to face the public and families of the people who were lost in the explosion, he faked being injured by the blast and said he lost a leg in the explosion, making everyone believe his leg was prosthetic.
Peter then retired from bomb disposal and became a lecturer at NAVSCHOLEOD, Indian Head. Stillman also worked as a consultant to the NYPD Bomb Squad. During this time, Stillman met and taught his best student, Fatman. Never having had a son, Stillman though he saw one in Fatman and taught him everything he knew about bombs (including their construction and demolition). This would prove to be a deadly mistake in the future.
[edit] The Manhattan Incident
In 2009, Stillman is coaxed out of retirement and sent in with SEAL Team 10 during the Big Shell incident to deal with a number of bombs placed by Fatman. After the team is attacked, Stillman takes refuge in Strut C, where Raiden and Pliskin discover him. He supplies the two with coolant and a sensor to detect and defuse Fatman's bombs. He then locks himself in a storage room and gives directions to Raiden and Pliskin over codec. During the mission to dispose the bombs, Stillman becomes uneasy at the seemingly amateurish placement of Fatman's bombs, saying that their locations were all wrong if Fatman had wanted to destroy the Big Shell. During his spare time, Stillman constructs a sensor to detect any bombs without Fatman's scent just in case the bombs are a decoy. He then asks Pliskin to take a look at the bottom of Shell 2's Strut H in case bombs are planted there. Pliskin reports back to Stillman that he was right and the other bombs were decoys.
Stillman decides to go to Strut H and dismantle the last bomb by himself, revealing to Raiden and Pliskin that he never lost his leg during the bomb accident years before. However, Fatman had surpassed Stillman in his skills and set a trap; Stillman encounters an unscented proximity bomb which then goes off, taking Stillman and a huge portion of Shell 2 with it.
