Psycho Mantis is a fictional character in the game Metal Gear Solid. His real name is unknown, although he also known as The Dream Robber. In the game, he has been affiliated with FOXHOUND, with mention of past history in the KGB and the FBI. His special abilities include the psychic powers of telekinesis and telepathy.

Psycho Mantis was born in a small Russian village before the collapse of the Soviet Union. His mother died giving birth to him, which made his father resent and hate him. He discovered his father?s true emotions one day while accidentally reading his mind. He wondered if his father would kill him, and the shock of this revelation awoke his sub conscious, and inadvertently caused the deaths everyone in the village (approx. 1,000 people). This release of psychic energy caused severe burns across his body, particularly his face.

The official cause of death for the people of the village was found to be brain hemorrhaging and he was then taken into custody by the KGB, who found his psychic powers impressive. He was taught to control his abilities in a boarding school owned by Soviet Intelligence, along with other possibly psychic children.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mantis was drafted as a psychic profiler by the FBI. He moved to the United States and began to work immediately for the FBI. He would enter the minds of a suspected killer and uncover the truth about their crimes. Eventually entering and reading the depraved thoughts of murderers and rapists took its toll on him, and drove him insane, creating a violent multiple personality called the parasite.

The parasite caused Mantis to go into killing rages, but he found he could use his mental abilities to control his alternate personality. This greatly reduced his psychic abilities, so after he was recruited by FOXHOUND, he let the parasite roam free in his mind, allotting him even greater psychic ability.

By this time he had taken to wearing a gas mask, partially to hide his deformed facial features, but also to prevent the thoughts of others to enter his mind involuntarily.

In the current incarnation of FOXHOUND, its members ( Liquid Snake, Vulcan Raven, Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, and Decoy Octopus ) grew tired of their roles as puppets to the government, and attacked Shadow Moses Island , a nuclear disposal facility. Psycho Mantis used his powers to gather the aid of the Genome Army, a group of genetically enhanced soldiers.

This is the point where the game "Metal Gear Solid" takes place.
