Hal Emmerich was born in 1980 to scientists Huey Emmerich and Strangelove via Caesarean section. Huey was a big fan of science fiction movies, specially the HAL 9000 computer featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey, as a result of the film getting himself and Strangelove closer. Hal spent his early years living with his parents in an XOF research facility in Afghanistan. He ended up being considered by his father for use as a test subject for Metal Gear Sahelanthropus, as its cockpit was so small t...
1. Main article: Shadow Moses Incident In late February 2005, Hal was held hostage by the Sons of Big Boss on Shadow Moses Island, where he was forced to continue his work on Metal Gear REX under heavy guard.

Character development
Hideo Kojima states that he created Otacon(オタコン, Otakon?) as his way of glorifying the otaku stereotype by having a character who fights the terrorists with his intellect rather than his brawn. According to Kojima, the original idea of Otacon was to make him "heavier, wearing a cap, and programming while eating a chocolate bar." However, designer Yoji Shinkawa came up with the idea to made him slender instead. Otacon's real name of Hal Emmerich(ハル・エメリッヒ博士, Haru Emerihhi?) is a reference to bo...
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
In the original plot of Metal Gear Solid 4, Otacon and Snake were to have turned themselves in for their crimes and executed, but the majority of the development staff vetoed this decision. During the game's mission briefings, Otacon's computer aboard the Nomad has a wallpaper that features Dingo Egret; the main protagonist of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, another game produced by Kojima. If the player kills a wolfdog and calls Otacon shortly thereafter, Otacon will only make a disguste...
