Dead Cell is the name of a former special forces unit created by fictional Ex-President George Sears (AKA Solidus Snake) in .

While some believe the name was originally intended to reflect its anti-terrorist functions, it is also a literal reference to dead organic cells (as noted by the team's alternate Japanese name, 死の細胞 shi no saibou. lit. cell of death). The unit originally launched unannounced assaults on government complexes, for the ultimate terrorism simulation (which has a similar role to Red Cell units in real life). Their leader was Commander Jackson, the husband of Fortune. He was arrested and charged with misappropriating government funds, and sent to jail. Then Dead Cell became out of control, killing about one-hundred people and losing two of their members in the process. Finally, six months prior to the Big Shell incident, the unit was devastated, resulting in the deaths of two of its members: Chinaman and Old Boy, leaving only Fortune, Vamp, and Fatman. During the Big Shell incident, they form the core of the Sons of Liberty terrorist group that overtake the Big Shell.

Members

• Commander Jackson - Founder of Dead Cell and husband of member Fortune. Found guilty of corruption charges, the remaining members of Dead Cell tried to convince the public of Jackson's innocence, but Jackson died in prison from apparent suicide while serving out his sentence but Ocelot killed him. This in turn changed Dead Cell into a rogue terrorist unit.

• Fortune
• Vamp
• Fatman

• Old Boy - Dead Cell's strategist born during the 1900's. A former Nazi general who participated in World War II. He was a mentor to several world-renowned soldiers and mercenaries. Wielded a Panzerfaust as his weapon. Died six months prior to the Big Shell incident.

• Chinaman - A former Navy Seals swimmer naturalized in Chinatown, originally from Vietnam. He was a special effects artist who specialized in martial arts and chi kung. Died six months prior to the Big Shell incident.

Note about Chinaman & Old Boy

The characters of Chinaman and Old Boy were boss characters that were proposed for Metal Gear Solid 2 early during development, but were written-off from the finished game. While neither characters are actually featured in Metal Gear Solid 2, they're both mentioned in the script (as seen on The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2) as being killed in action. Aspects of Chinaman were integrated into Vamp in the finished game, while certain characteristics of Old Boy were carried over to The End and The Boss in .
