Revolver Ocelot - Appearances

Appearances

Revolver Ocelot is introduced in the video game Metal Gear Solid as a gunslinger-themed member of the FOXHOUND terrorists involved with the hostile takeover of Shadow Moses Island, serving as the team's interrogation expert and their leader Liquid Snake's right hand man. He challenges agent Solid Snake to a gunfight in the game's first boss encounter which ends in Ocelot losing only his right hand during an encounter with the Cyborg Ninja. Despite his loss, Ocelot later appears to tortures Snake after latter was captured. During Snake's toture, Ocelot reveals he was originally from the former Soviet Union where he's known as Shalashaska (シャラシャーシカ, Sharashāshika?) due to being a former member of Spetsnaz. After Snake defeated Metal Gear REX and Liquid, Ocelot is the sole surviving FOXHOUND member by the end of the game. After the ending credits, it is revealed that Ocelot is in league with Solidus Snake, the third surviving offspring of the Les Enfants Terribles project that created Snake and Liquid, as well as the current U.S. President.

In the sequel Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Revolver Ocelot gains a new surgically attached right arm that originally belonged to Liquid Snake. This results in Ocelot developing a dormant personality in which Liquid's persona often takes over Ocelot's mind whenever Solid Snake is nearby. Seemingly under the employ of his old friend Sergei Gurlukovich during the introductory Tanker Chapter, but ends up betraying him and his mercenaries when Ocelot hijacks Metal Gear RAY. Ocelot then forms part of the terrorist group "Sons of Liberty" during the Plant Chapter with Solidus Snake, but ends up betraying him as well, revealing his true allegiance to the Patriots, a group that controls the United States. Shortly afterwards, Ocelot is taken over by Liquid and escapes from Snake, Solidus and Raiden, intending to kill the Patriots' leaders.

The prequel Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (set three decades before the original Metal Gear) features a young version of the character simply known as Ocelot (オセロット, Oserotto?), a GRU Major under the command of Colonel Volgin and The Boss, the mentor of Naked Snake, and leader of his own "Ocelot unit" within Spetsnaz GRU. Throughout the story, several characters reference The Boss having a child, which she herself confirms, and it is compiled through several conversations that Ocelot is actually the Boss's child (an inference confirmed to be true by Hideo Kojima). He acquires his preferences for revolvers as a result of his initial encounter with Naked Snake, who suggests that his tendency to absorb the gun's recoil with his elbow is more of a revolver technique. Thoughout the game, Ocelot's constant challenges with Snake eventually turned into a friendly rivaly. During his and Snake's last fight, Ocelot reveals that his real name is Adamska (アダムスカ, Adamusuka?). He is revealed to be a triple agent at the game's ending, working not only for the KGB, but also (under the codename ADAM) under the direct orders of the DCI as well. He was supposed to intercept and assist Snake, but another Philosopher's agent calling herself EVA got there first.

In the direct sequel Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Ocelot plays a minor role in the plot. In the story, he is in league with Gene. Near the end of the game, he assassinates his former employer (the DCI) and reports to a new employer who invites Ocelot to join his new organization (The Patriots) on the grounds that Big Boss (Naked Snake) join as well. He appears as a recruitable character in his Metal Gear Solid 3 design.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (set years after Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2) features Revolver Ocelot's mind seemingly completely taken over by Liquid Snake's personality, thus is under the identity of Liquid Ocelot (リキッド・オセロット, Rikiddo Oserotto?). He attempts to resurrect Outer Heaven in his conflict with the Patriots, establishing a dummy corporation that runs the five largest PMCs that exist in the game. After hijacking one of the Patriots' systems that control the soldiers' weapons, his PMCs engages Old Snake (Solid Snake) until Snake uses a virus to delete the Patriots' AIs. Following the AIs' destruction, Ocelot challenges Snake to a fist fight. Although he appears to die from exhaustion after the final fight, Ocelot's death is actually caused by the new strain of FOXDIE that was injected into Snake by Drebin as revealed by Big Boss. Ocelot's possession by Liquid is also revealed to have been deliberate, made possible through self-hypnosis and nanomachines, in order to act like Liquid and trick the Patriots' AIs into focusing their energies on battling Liquid.

Ocelot doesn't appear in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker but is indirectly mentioned several times.
