Samus Aran is the legendary bounty hunter who is well-known for defeating the Space Pirates and wiping out the dangerous Metroids. Though she was at first rumored to be a male cyborg, Samus revealed her true identity after she defeated the Space Pirates on Zebes. Her reputation grew as her reliability almost always guaranteed success in her hired jobs.

Samus was the daughter of two colonists on the Federation colony world K-2L. When she was quite young, the species known only as the Space Pirates destroyed the colony, leaving Samus as the sole survivor. A group of Chozo picked up the distress signal from the colony, and took Samus with them to their home on planet Zebes. They raised her as their own, infusing her with their blood for her to gain their natural powers.

Young Samus & Chozo Elder

In Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus has flashbacks to her childhood with the Chozo when she sees a mural depicting a Chozo warrior, and also as a sequence of pictures in a connectivity bonus between Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zero Mission.

How and why Samus eventually left Zebes is a bit of a mystery. According to the Metroid Prime instruction manual, the Space Pirates attacked Zebes and wiped out most of the local Chozo after discovering the Metroids. However, it goes on to say Samus was growing up at the time; this clashes with the plot of Metroid: Zero Mission, which says that Samus grew up on the very same planet.

Samus is rarely seen without her Chozo-designed Power Suit. In addition to providing protection, the suit augments her physical abilities, allowing her to leap great distances or scale vertical cliffs. The suit is also modular, able to equip many different upgrades to increase versatility.

The suit mutated in response to Samus' biological integration of Metroid DNA in Metroid Fusion. The suit lost its metallic appearance and assumed a more organic appearance and even appears to breath. The DNA caused a side effect making it vulnerable to cold like a common Metroid and also unable to use the Ice Beam. By integrating the SA-X Parasite, Samus regained her natural red and yellow color scheme and the ability to use her Ice Beam. Samus' fate is currently unknown. Having destroyed a Federation Satelite without permission, she may be wanted for questioning. Though her actions were not authorized, they saved the galaxy from the X-Parasite which the Federation foolishly sought to control.
