He is voiced by Khary Payton, also known for voicing Cyborg of Teen Titans and Wasabi of Big Hero 6 in both the animated series and Kingdom Hearts III.
History[]
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots[]
In 2014, Drebin met Solid Snake early on in the latter's mission in the Middle East, and told him about his gun laundering activities, claiming to be an employee at ArmsTech (AT) Security. After giving Snake an M4 Custom as a "welcoming gift," he told Snake about the war economy, and how one day it will plunge the entire world into war, turning everyone into "green collars". Drebin also provided Snake with an injection of nanomachines so that he could operate any weapons he might purchase from him, though he secretly infected him with a new strain of FOXDIE, which was programmed to kill former Patriot members Big Mama, Liquid Ocelot, and Big Boss under orders from JD and the other Patriot AIs that took over for Major Zero.
Drebin next met Snake when he went to rescue Naomi Hunter from Liquid's base in South America, encountering him at the power station that the rebels had just reclaimed from the Pieurve Armament PMC forces, with or without Snake's help, where told him about the Beauty and the Beast Unit, as well as the true nature of the Patriots' AI network. During this time, Little Gray smoked a cigarette of Snake's after swiping it and later gestured for another, though Drebin did not allow it. After Snake defeated Laughing Octopus, Snake called Drebin and accused him of both spying on him as well as injecting Snake with FOXDIE. Although Drebin admitted to spying on him, with preference to it being called "customer data management", he denied knowledge about injecting Snake with FOXDIE, and cited that it would be to his own benefit to keep Snake alive than kill him. He also provided Snake with some backstory on Laughing Octopus and what he could use Laughing Octopus' FaceCamo for alongside his OctoCamo.
Drebin later came to Snake and Naomi's rescue when Naomi was seconds away from being taken by Vamp, having his Stryker keep the Gekko busy while Naomi and Snake climbed on board before he made his getaway, driving them back to the town while dealing with the now zombie-like Pieurve Armament troopers, powered suits, Gekko, and Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS) vehicles. He also came to the aid of Snake, and Meryl Silverburgh's Rat Patrol in Eastern Europe after they were nearly killed by Liquid Ocelot upon successfully hijacking the Sons of the Patriots System. In addition, beforehand, he had disabled the ID lock on Raging Raven's Milkhor MGL-140 grenade launcher for Snake, under the condition that he gain possession of it after the end of his mission, and provided some backstory on Raging Raven like he did with Laughing Octopus. He later did the same after Snake defeated Crying Wolf on Shadow Moses and acquired her railgun, telling Snake he already laundered the railgun on the house before providing Crying Wolf's backstory.
Later, Drebin reunited with Snake and Otacon on board the USS Missouri. There, he offered Snake a discount on his weapons due to the slump in sales caused by the SOP System's inactivation. He was also the one who supplied the Missouri with catapults that would be used to launch Solid Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, and Johnny Sasaki onto Outer Haven, Liquid Ocelot's warship, and also supplied some guns and ammunition to Johnny. After Snake took down the last member of the Beauty and the Beast Unit in Screaming Mantis, Drebin provided the final backstory regarding her before telling Snake to get going and take out GW.
Following the Patriots' destruction, Drebin arrived at the wedding of Meryl and Johnny Sasaki, and unveiled several champagne bottles and doves as part of a magic trick. Later on, Drebin revealed to Otacon that he had been ordered by the Patriots themselves to help Snake and Rat Patrol succeed in their mission to assassinate Liquid Ocelot. The Patriots did not conceive that their system of global control would be taken offline thanks to Sunny, Naomi, and their FOXALIVE computer virus. He also explained that he and all of the other Drebins in the world had taken over the gun laundering business and formed their own "company," called DREBINS, and thus didn't have any hard feelings for Snake or Otacon for shutting down the Patriots. Drebin then became drunk, due to his alcohol-moderating nanomachines now being inactive, and commented on what the future likely held following the end of the war economy, with the United Nations playing a more important role in the world.
The FOXDIE virus that Drebin had used to infect Snake was discovered to have supplanted the mutated original strain in his body. This prevented the threat of an epidemic that the mutated strain had posed, ensuring that Snake did not need to kill himself prior to his death from advanced aging.
