Monsoon dueled with Jack the Ripper, while mocking the Ripper's potential. Jack the Ripper offered to "demonstrate" to Monsoon where his childhood nickname of "Jack the Ripper" came from. Monsoon noted that he misjudged Raiden and that Raiden really was like his group after all. Sam eagerly accepted Raiden’s sudden aggression, but Monsoon dismissed Sam, wanting the battle for himself. Having been informed by Sam about Raiden's stance regarding his sword as a tool of justice, he then told Raiden that he considered the "pretty meme" to be "exquisite," and also revealed their similar pasts of "growing up on the killing fields." Raiden, already emotionally unstable from Sam’s earlier speech regarding the same subject, succumbed to his "Jack the Ripper" persona and admitted that he hid behind this excuse to conceal his true nature. Two years later, Monsoon intercepted and confronted Raiden before World Marshal HQ, and with Sam bearing witness, fought Raiden. He later contacted Sam, informing him when Sam insinuated that he'd tear the group apart that even if he did tear the limbs off, he still couldn't kill their organization. He then proceeded to leave, although not before dropping a RP grenade on Sam and summoning a Metal Gear RAY UG for him to fight. He later encountered Sam face-to-face within a hangar area of the HQ, where he questioned Sam's motives for attacking drug cartels and leaving Brazil. While waiting for Sam's arrival, he and Armstrong had a small chat regarding the newly renovated reception area, with Armstrong expressing disgust at the cherry blossoms and Monsoon viewing them as simply existing, neither beautiful nor ugly. In 2016, he and Steven Armstrong took interest in a Brazilian swordsman named Samuel Rodrigues, who had killed several drug cartel members, and likewise arranged for his arrival in Denver, Colorado.

He eventually got cyberneticized with a magnetics-based body after being caught in a gang shootout and mortally wounded.

He also mastered the use of sai weapons, and his crime record was extensive enough to far outrank any ordinary gang member. At some point later, he joined a Cambodian organized crime syndicate, and was rumored to have had involvement in the drug trade and human trafficking.
