Teliko is a playable character in the game Metal Gear Acid.

Born of Japanese-American descent, Teliko serves as part of the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) for the FBI. Daughter of an American father and a Japanese mother, her name in Japanese was originally "Teruko," meaning "shining child." When a typo rendered it as "Teliko" upon joinging the HRT, she decided to keep it as such. In her past, she once served under Roger McCoy. Her father was murdered by corrupt statesmen, though it was successfully covered up as a suicide. Teliko knew the truth however, and vowed to bring her father's murderers to justice.

During the events of Solid Snake's infilitration, Teliko and her unit were sent in, though her team is wiped out and she is captured by Lt. Leone. Later she was forced to play a game with Snake in "Dream Town" - a fantasy gameboard-type room. Afterwards, Teliko assists Snake in his mission and eventually discovers that La Clown was the one responsible for the death of her father.

[edit] Portable Ops

Teliko is a hidden character in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops who joins Naked Snake's team. The player can unlock her by having a Metal Gear Acid save file on their memory stick after completing the game, restarting a new game or saving the game at the first opportunity. Her appearance in the game is an easter egg and has no bearing in the story.
