Vulcan Raven is one of the renegade members of FOXHOUND who take over Shadow Moses with the GENOME Army. He is a Shaman and was raised in the cold state of Alaska.
A man of incredible stature, Vulcan Raven traveled over the Bering Straight during the winter and entered the Soviet Union, joining Vympel, a Soviet special forces group. In 1993, following the Russian constitutional crisis, Russian President Boris Yeltsin had disbanded the current form of Vympel, forcing Raven to join the Outer Heaven mercenaries during the uprising in 1995. Sometime after the fall of Outer Heaven, he was recruited for FOXHOUND.
He says that he excels in the Ear Pull contest at the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics. (It is an event where two people who are facing each other with a string loop connecting their ears try to pull back and keep the loop on their ear the longest.) His spirit animal and guide is the Raven, signifying that his life is nothing more than a path to death and destruction. He has many tattoos to celebrate this fate. He is also a scholar, being a graduate emeritus from Alaska University. His weapon of choice is the massive M61 Vulcan, a 20mm Gatling gun that is normally seen mounted on most NATO Jet Fighter aircraft.
Vulcan Raven shares a history with Revolver Ocelot in the Soviet Union that has not been fully disclosed.
Current status: Deceased
[edit] FOXHOUND Rebellion
He, like the rest of the renegade FOXHOUND members, is killed by Solid Snake in battle. He is then eaten away by his own ravens as he tells Snake of the dark path he will continue to walk on.
