Revolver Ocelot

Revolver Ocelot is a male video game character who features in Metal Gear.

Biography

Adamska (Russian: Адамска) was conceived in late 1943 by The Joy and The Sorrow, an American and Russian soldier, respectively, of the Allied Forces' Cobra Unit. The Joy learned of her pregnancy during a secret mission, which resulted in her blowing her cover and being injured by enemy gunfire. Although her unborn child was saved from the bullet, The Joy entered a coma for three months before regaining consciousness. After making a full recovery another three months later, she speculated that her body had willed her to live for the sake of her unborn child. Adamska was born during the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. The Joy was wounded during childbirth in the middle of the battlefield, forcing her to give birth via cesarean section and the resulting operation gave her a snake-shaped scar on her torso. Shortly after birth, Adamska was taken from his parents by agents of the Philosophers. Adamska briefly worked for the NSA as a code breaker under the codename, ADAM. But he and another colleague defected to the Soviet Union in September 1960. However, a seemingly contradictory account had the youth taken in and raised by the Spetsnaz GRU and Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Whatever the case, Adamska would later serve under Volgin's command of GRU while secretly operating as a spy for both the KGB and the CIA; proxy organizations of the Russian and American branches of the Philosophers, respectively. Due to his heritage as the son of legendary hero The Boss, formerly The Joy, he was given preferential treatment within the organization, promoted to the rank of Major at a very young age, and given command of his own personal squad. In 1962, a threat towards Adamska's life was made to The Boss in order to ensure that she would assassinate her former comrade, Adamska's father The Sorrow. His life was to have been forfeit if both survived the encounter, ensuring The Sorrow's death

Revolver Ocelot (Japanese: リボルバー・オセロット, Hepburn: Riborubā Oserotto)

In August 1964, Major Ocelot and the Ocelot Unit infiltrated Rassvet, Tselinoyarsk, in order to capture weapons scientist Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov for the GRU. He ambushed the KGB operatives stationed in the area and killed them with his remarkable gun-play, although he professed reluctance in doing so to Soviet comrades. Interrupting the American CIA's own extraction of Sokolov, via their agent Naked Snake, Ocelot had his unit surrounding the two, and attempted to kill Snake, having confused him for a defecting U.S. soldier. However, his arrogant use of a Middle Eastern technique that involved ejecting the first bullet by hand, caused his Makarov handgun to jam, resulting in his entire unit being defeated by Snake's superior close-quarters combat skills. At gunpoint, a winded Ocelot was advised to use revolvers by an impressed Snake, who had earlier noticed his tendency to twist his elbow to absorb recoil, before passing out. After regaining consciousness a short time later, Ocelot boarded Colonel Volgin's helicopter while they were airlifting Sokolov's Shagohod prototype to Groznyj Grad, the scientist himself having been captured by the Cobra Unit, led by the actual American defector The Boss. When Volgin prepared to employ The Boss's gift, a Davy Crockett missile, against Sokolov's research facility, Ocelot attempted to stop him, again displaying concern for his countrymen. Unable to convince Volgin, Ocelot watched in horror as the Colonel launched the miniature warhead and destroyed the facility in a nuclear explosion. Sometime afterwards, Ocelot procured several Colt Single Action Army revolvers, including an engraved model and three black-powder models. Ocelot also attached the 9 mm bullet, which had jammed during his encounter with Snake, to a chain that he would wear around his neck, having modified it to fit the Single Action Army with which he intended to revenge himself upon Snake.

One week later, Ocelot was ordered by the CIA to aid Naked Snake in Operation Snake Eater, in which The Boss, the Cobra Unit, and the threat of the Shagohod were to be eliminated, while also retrieving the Philosophers' Legacy for the American branch of the Philosophers. Returning to Rassvet, Ocelot intended to make contact with Snake, but the supposed KGB spy EVA reached him first, helping him evade Ocelot's unit. While Snake neutralized the Ocelot Unit, Ocelot himself captured EVA and held her at knife point, brandishing his new revolver at Snake. However, having apparently misspent his ammunition, due to SAA carrying fewer rounds than he was used to, Ocelot was roundly defeated. Ocelot fled the area, with Snake stopping EVA from gunning him down, allegedly because he was 'still young', although he had actually had taken a liking to him. Maintaining his cover as a GRU operative, Ocelot decided to aid Snake covertly, and throughout Operation Snake Eater, the two developed a mutual rivalry and fought on several more occasions. Ocelot re-encountered Snake at the Bolshaya Past crevice, where they had a gun duel. However, it was interrupted with The Pain's hornets scouting ahead, forcing him to flee. Reaching the Ponizovje warehouse, Ocelot rendezvoused with Volgin and the Boss, where he intimidated the uncooperative scientist Sokolov in a game of Russian roulette, almost killing him before The Boss intervened. Due to his audacious actions in confronting Snake at Bolshaya Past, Ocelot was scolded by the Boss and had his revolver dismantled in the process.
