Ziang Tan and Silent Basilisk are two easter egg locked characters in the Mother Base Staff Management (from iDroid 3.02) that you cannot dismiss in the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. They also hang around in Waiting Room forever. Tan “Jackie” Ziang was the demo guy from the early MGS5 trailers. He is the prisoner you rescue in Side Op 61: Unlucky Dog 01. As for Silent Basilisk, he is the mute mujahideen from Mission 6: Where Do The Bees Sleep? Video shows all top 8 locked characters in your staff, and later shows you how to get rid of both Ziang Tan and Silent Basilisk using the Dispatch Missions feature. The other six characters are Hideo, Ocelot, Quiet, Huey, Miller, and Code Talker. If any one can find Eli in the Staff Management, please tell me!

Take a damn shower boi, them flies be all on you!!! 😅 other wise ocelots gonna get ya with a bucket (unless Quiet intervenes)
so konami did'nt erase Kojima from the game, he's still present as easter egg.
I wouldn’t have the heart to assign fictional Silent Basilisk to the fictional Combat Unit
I wonder what silent basilisk does to stop trouble
I think I got Silent Basilisk at some point, but never got his cutscene. Strange.
I have ziang on the intel team bruh
Things I've learned from comment section and video: not many people uses the F key to auto asign soldiers, thats why they dont have silent bassilisk in any group, that or the people have to many s ranks on their team, not like me
I have no use for silent basilisk anymore unfortunately. Everyone in his best departments exceeds him in skill, so he got automatically moved to the waiting room. Since all the departments are fully upgraded and full of staff, he just sits there. I can't dismiss him because he is locked.
Silent Basilisk: points
Snake: nods
Russian soldier SB pointed at: confused confusion
My silent basilisk died from a fob raid
1:14 Take a damn shower! I hear those flies!
I pretty much only have silent Basilika left because I think the others were taken by other players
Why does the Japanese Chinese one have a ? Next to his lock?ziang t
You can actually kill those two? With dispatch missions? Holy smokes, of course! Love your channel and the straightforward way you present info.
I can’t send them in mission why?
FASCINATING.. 🤔
This game needed more Mujahedeen
it's interesting so many ppl want to get rid of them, and konami decided to prevent us from removing them in any way, including sending them on missions.. why did they patch the game to stop us sending them on suicide missions :<
*edit: lol i just got it working modding them to have a useful stat after long last 😀 w00t
Holy heck there is Latvian language I'm so hyped
How the heck Ocelot and Kas know what's happenning if they only communicate using radios? I mean, Snake doesn't have any camera.
2:28 the rocket launcher is a decoy
Useless staff…..
If they're lock, they can't die on missions
Silent basalisk is annoying later in the game his stats are garbage and you can't fire him
Isyarat
2:47 wait, he was supposed to be just left there?
