I have a quick question. In the ending of Metal Gear Solid, Ocelot has a phone conversation with the president in which, depending on how you did during the game, a certain number of plot twists are reveled. There was one that always had me wondering.

Ocelot says: "Yes. The DARPA chief knew my identity, but he's been disposed of."

So who is Ocelot REALLY supposed to be? I played though MGS 2 & 3, but I never really caught who he was supposed to be.

How you do in the game does not effect the phone call at the end. The President Ocelot is talking to is President Geroge Sears AKA Solidus Snake in MGS2. The only part of the ending that is effected by how you played the game was who you rode off into the sunrise with. If you submit during the torture Meryl dies and you ride off with Otacon. If you survive the tortue Meryl and Otacon both live but you only ride off with Meryl.

First and foremost Ocelot is the son of The Boss and The Sorrow. He was born on the battlefield in WWII I believe and taken by the La Li La Lu Lo at birth and raised to be a super mega spy.

In MGS and 2 it seems like he's working for Solidus Snake and just taking part in MGS1 as a double agent. Then at the end of MGS2 you find out he's working with the Patriots and set everything up to A. Recreate another bad ass on the level as Solid Snake and B. to set up the AI intelligence to control massive amounts of data and eliminate the junk information filling the internet. Does you face book status really need to be preserved for all time? Fuck no. But if you can control information on a global scale you can also rule the world with an iron fist!

It's then revealed in Portable Ops and MGS4 that Ocelot is actually one of the founding members of the Patriots with Major Zero. But ultimately Ocelot is against motherfucking Major Zero and like brainwashed himself to play a specific role in ultimately destroying the fucking Patriots! If that's not enough plot twisting I don't know what is.

Ocelot in MGS1 and MGS2 is my all time favourite villain, ever. I kind of am pissed that he turns out to be working for the ultimate good of mankind in the end. I liked him better when he was a ruthless maniac sharp shooter that got off on torturing people. He was ok in MGS3 when you saw him gain respect for Big Boss and ultimately hero worshiped his ass. So you could see how he'd later join Fox Hound and all that shit. But Ocelot is like the most important character in Metal Gear.
