Biography
Background
Not much is known about Hot Coldman, but he would become the director of the Central Intelligence Agency during the 1960s, and later planned the death of the Boss during her mission to find the philosopher's legacy. Though regarded as a hero among the agency, he was demoted presumably due to his knowledge of the operation for his nefarious actions to have the Boss eliminated. He was then transferred to Central America to oversee the CIA's operations.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
After his demotion and transferal to Central America, Coldman has Huey Emmerich develop several A.I. weapons - first and foremost the Peace Walker - while tasking Dr. Strangelove with developing the Peace Walker's A.I. Coldman intends to use the Peace Walker as a fail-safe nuclear deterrence, since it is programmed to reply to any nuclear attack to the US mainland with launching a nuclear missile back into the attacking country. Believing that humans were ultimately unable to press the button to cause ultimate nuclear destruction, Coldman thought that only machines were able to reliably do so.
However, while trying to proves his point, Coldman is betrayed and shot by his partner, the KGB agent Zadornov. He dies of Zadornov's gunshots, but not before inputting Peace Walker's nuclear launch codes and leaking the false data to NORAD.
Trivia
- He has a tattoo on the back of his head that reads "Homo Homini Lupus", which translates to "Man is a wolf to man".
