He's the best character in the series. Snake? Pfffft yeah no. Through out the series, Snake is always fooled or constantly struggling with this massive mission that is always orchestrated by a higher authority. Snake is always given the least amount of information and must unravel the story ever so slowly only to find out he's a pawn.
Ocelot is ALWAYS the inside man. He's ALWAYS in the know. He is the real hero, guiding all the Snakes (Solid, Liquid, Solidus, Naked) through their own personal strife in order to uh...(advance the plot) continue his own mission.
He's the master manipulator, and he doesn't even have boobs. He even mastered interrogation and Tortue for FUN. "I gotta be a secret agent? Easy. Oh, it's double agent time now? cake. Triple fantastic mystery agent? That's my calling yo" "Oh you need me to manipulate this genius mastermind super elite super soldier Big Boss clone into thinking he's come up with an awesome plan to destroy the Patriots? I'll do it 2 times. "
Plus he's the freaking real son of the Boss and Sorrow. Who is snake? Some wannabe. CIA agent with a huge boner for his mentor? Where did "Jack/Snake/BB" even come from before MGS3? High school graduate, joins Army Green Berets, then CIA agent and gets trained by The Boss to eventually become something special? Does he have parents? Just because he acts like The Boss is his momma doesn't mean she is. Ocelot has ALWAYS been special. He was born into freaking battle. Like no shit, guns blazing, bullets flying. Hell his PREGNANT MOTHER was still fighting and kicking ass in the trenches. Thats his bloodline. No family and raised as a secret agent super spy FROM BIRTH. 18 years old? Commander of an elite unit in GRU as a super secret agent. Can ricochet a bullet to smack a bitch in the chest at will.
He's so bad ass, even fucking liquid Snake himself wants to be apart of him. He loses an arm, but he doesn't get no weak ass prosthetic robot jerker. He uses a real flesh and blood super villian arm. Then Ocelot uses Liquid's arm to be all like, "I'm gonna use this arm to trick the WHOLE FREAKING WORLD into thinking that MAGIC EXISTS in order to become the most important person in the War economy and control all the biggest PMCs on earth." Then he does that.
Even a badass alias, Shalashaska (spelling?)
Gains a reputation for using revolvers. A civil war era type Single Action Pistol with SIX rounds in an age of freaking Exoskeletons and Rail Guns, yet still shoots mother fuckers like Yosemite Sam.
Except....he does this super gay meow thing in MGS3 to call his troops. His only flaw.
