Revolver Ocelot/MGS3

Template:Youmay
Template:Character Infobox
**Ocelot** (Russian: Оцелот), real name **Adamska** (Russian: Адамска) or simply **Adam** (Russian: Адам), was a Russian-American spy, simultaneously working for the GRU, KGB and CIA intelligence organizations during the Cold War, as a triple agent. A formidable gunfighter, his weapon of choice was the Colt Single Action Army Revolver.

## Biography

### Early life and career

Ocelot was born Adamska during the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. His parents were The Joy and The Sorrow, a U.S. and Russian soldier, respectively, of the Allied Forces' Cobra Unit. The Joy was wounded during childbirth in the middle of the battlefield, forcing her to give birth via cesarean section, during which she received a snake-shaped scar on her torso. Shortly after birth, Adamska was taken from his parents by agents of the Philosophers, a globally influential shadowy group with whom The Joy had formerly been affiliated.

In the immediate aftermath of World War II, Adamska was supposedly taken in and raised by the Soviet intelligence agency GRU and its operative Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin. A different account claimed that he had worked as a code breaker for the U.S. National Security Agency, under the codename ADAM, with he and another colleague later defecting to the Soviet Union in September 1960.

Whatever the case, by 1964, Adamska would serve as Major Ocelot under Colonel Volgin's command of the Spetsnaz GRU. Due to his heritage as the son of legendary hero The Boss, formerly The Joy, he was given preferential treatment within GRU, promoted to high rank at a very young age, and given command of his own squad, the Ocelot Unit. During this time, Ocelot secretly operated as a spy for both GRU's rival in Soviet intelligence, the KGB, as well as the the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, with the ultimate goal of reviving the Philosophers, whose power had waned in the post-war period.

### Virtuous Mission

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 gunplay, 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 surround the two, and attempted to kill Snake, after confusing 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 Ocelot and 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 blackpowder models. Ocelot also attached the 9mm 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.

Template:SnakeEater
One week after the nuclear incident, 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. 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 knifepoint, brandishing his new revolver at Snake. However, having apparently misspent his ammunition, due to SAA carrying fewer rounds than his previous handgun, Ocelot was roundly defeated by EVA and Snake. Ocelot fled the area, with Snake stopping EVA from gunning him down, allegedly because he was "still young," although he had actually taken a liking to him.

Maintaining his cover as a GRU operative, Ocelot decided to aid Snake covertly, and throughout Operation Snake Eater, he and Snake shared 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 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.

At the fortress of Groznyj Grad, Ocelot later witnessed Volgin's torture and killing of Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin, after the latter was accused of enemy espionage. Ocelot berated Volgin about his practices, but to no avail. When Volgin's lover Tatyana arrived, he noticed the smell of motorcycle gasoline on her, and made his suspicions known to her by threatening her with a crossbow and commenting on the state of her boots (which were biking boots instead of officer boots).

After Snake was captured while infiltrating the fortress, Ocelot again bore witness to Volgin's brutal torture, but developed an appreciation for it, calling it "the ultimate form of expression." He also attempted to expose EVA in her disguise as Tatyana after she objected to Volgin ordering the The Boss to gouge Snake's eyes out, subjecting her to his Russian roulette. However, Snake, desperately trying to protect EVA, got between the two of them, resulting in Ocelot accidentally discharging his gun in Snake's face, costing him his right eye, an act which earned Ocelot a violent slap from The Boss. Volgin, however, satisfied with the outcome, left the room. With Volgin gone, Ocelot covertly picked up the transmitter that The Boss had earlier placed on Snake's body, and replanted it on him while hitting him in the back. After Snake escaped, Ocelot hunted him down in the sewers, and was about to shoot him with the bullet from their first meeting until Snake evaded him by jumping from a waterfall.

When Snake was again caught infiltrating Groznyj Grad, Ocelot expressed his desire to settle the score with Snake, but was stopped by Volgin. During the fight that ensued between Snake and Volgin in the Shagoohd hangar, Ocelot was ordered to shoot Snake but refused to do so. Ocelot instead threw items down for Snake to use against Volgin, having made a promise to The Boss. When Snake's planted bombs were discovered in the facility, Ocelot was ordered to locate them. Following Volgin's defeat in combat, and the bombs' subsequent detonation, Ocelot pursued Snake and EVA on motorcycle, and was later saved from falling debris by Snake's rocket launcher. As the pursuit continued onto a runway, Ocelot was nearly killed by the backwash from the Shagohod's rocket booster ignition, which the pilot Volgin relished as revenge for Ocelot's earlier disobedience. Ocelot temporarily abandoned the chase after the escapees destroyed a nearby rail bridge which he narrowly avoided falling into, costing him one of his revolvers in the process.

When Snake and EVA attempted to escape on a WIG over Rokovoj Bereg, Ocelot boarded the craft from a flying platform and, following a brief fist fight with Snake, decided to settle on a duel of quick draw. Before the duel, Ocelot exchanged first names with Snake (Adamska and John) to demonstrate that they were "real men" and not their animal namesakes. The duel itself was, however, a ruse, as Ocelot fired first, without harming Snake. Amused, Ocelot explained to the confused Snake that he had played a trick on him, in that the bullet he had used had been a blank. He and Snake exchanged a wry smile, before Ocelot bade him farewell, hinting that the two of them would likely meet again some day, and leapt from the low-flying craft to the water below.

### Post-Snake Eater

After Operation Snake Eater's success, Ocelot contacted the KGB Chief Director to inform him that the Brezhnev faction now had the opportunity to oust Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev from power, and suggested that knowledge of the CIA's operations could be used as leverage in any future negotiations with the United States. Shortly thereafter, Ocelot made a secret call to his other employer, the CIA Director. Their conversation revealed that the CIA had only acquired half of the Philosophers' Legacy, and it was assumed that the KGB possessed the other half. He also confirmed that the People's Republic of China had failed to obtain the Legacy for themselves, revealing that the microfilm procured by their agent EVA, was a fake.

## Personality and traits

A cunning operative and an expert marksman, Ocelot was renowned for his prowess on the battlefield as well as his deceitful nature. His marksmanship skills were demonstrated in the Virtuous Mission, when, back when he was still using a Makarov, he proceeded to kill a KGB soldier trying to hide from him simply via the use of the bullet's ricochet.

Ocelot was also shown to be a very charismatic individual, as the Ocelot Unit he commanded was absolutely loyal to him, and even was able to command regular GRU soldiers (such being demonstrated at Bolshaya Past, where several GRU soldiers aided the Ocelot Unit in keeping a perimeter, specifically guarding the outer perimeter to ensure no one tried to interfere).

As a GRU major, Ocelot originally did not approve of the torture used by his superior Colonel Volgin. He was also dead set against killing his own comrades, especially his fellow countrymen. However, after witnessing Volgin's torture sessions with Granin and Naked Snake in Groznyj Grad, he developed a fondness for the practice, believing it to be "the ultimate form of expression."

As a young man, Ocelot was extremely arrogant, overly confident and had a large ego. He enjoyed showing off and was quick to inform others of his rank and status in the military. Such as when a KGB guard simply referred to him as Ocelot, he then quickly reminded the man that his full title was "Major" Ocelot. He was proud of his shooting abilities and his own self believed superiority over others. However his first encounter with Naked Snake, slowly began altering his personality. After being defeated after each encounter, Ocelot began utilizing Snake's advice into his own combat style, making him a more effective gun fighter. While still cocky, Ocelot became more level-headed, understood the mistakes he made and became a better soldier because of it. Despite his young age, Ocelot demonstrated a lot of potential, which caused Snake to take a liking to him and kept EVA from killing him. Ocelot also developed a mutual admiration and liking for Snake.

Ocelot was also highly intelligent and a fast learner, learning CQC techniques from observation and eventually using them to fight Naked Snake to a stalemate.

 File:Mgs3-ocelot.jpg
Despite having no loyalty to the Soviet Union, Ocelot appeared to show patriotism toward Russia, always speaking up in defiance of Volgin's reckless killing of their fellow countrymen. He claimed to have no good feelings after killing KGB soldiers guarding Sokolov when he first confronted Naked Snake, even with his affiliation to GRU, and he looked genuinely shocked when Volgin launched the Davy Crockett at Sokolov's research facility.

Ocelot enjoyed the thrill of reloading his Single Action Army in the middle of battle, despite the inherent dangers of doing so.

His favorite animal was the Markhor, to the extent that he ended up infuriated if one got harmed in close proximity to him. Aside from the Markhor, he had a fondness for the Ocelot.

Along with his revolvers, Ocelot wore spurred boots, mimicking the style of American cowboys in Western movies.

## Codenames, aliases, and nicknames

Ocelot was named for the species of wild cat that lives on the American continent, while his real name of Adamska is derived from "Adam." Both alluded to Ocelot's American origins, with "ADAM" being the codename of the NSA defector assigned to meet Naked Snake during Operation Snake Eater. The name "Adam" derives from the Hebrew noun *ha adamah* meaning "the ground" or "earth," and is the name of the first man in the Book of Genesis from the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament.

## Behind the scenes

Template:Nihongo appears as his younger self in the prequel *Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater*. The defection of NSA code breakers ADAM and EVA, the former of which was Ocelot, is based on a real life incident that occurred in September 1960. In real life, however, none of the NSA code breakers were named "Adamska," but rather William Hamilton Martin and Bernon F. Mitchell.

 File:Ocelot young.gif
Ocelot's trademark gesture, where he points two fingers as if a gun, was ad-libbed by Kanazawa Tarou, Ocelot's motion capture actor. In addition, Tarou recalled that doing motion capture for Ocelot was troublesome, largely because his character was already confirmed to live through the game thanks to the prior games. He also mentioned that Kojima had to warn him that just because Ocelot doesn't die doesn't mean he can do "whatever he wants."

The scene where EVA escapes from Ocelot's grip was originally intended to be much longer: EVA jumps down from the platform after kicking Ocelot, and Ocelot jumps down after her. Ocelot grabs her just as she boards her motorcycle, causing Snake to hesitate in pulling the trigger, as he'd risk hitting EVA if he attempted to shoot Ocelot. EVA then hits the accelerator hard and raises it in a similar fashion to a horse and attempts to hit Ocelot with the raised front wheel. Ocelot is hit, but won't let go, with EVA attempting to stand on the raised tire with the struggle continuing. This ultimately was cut from the final version, and was instead replaced with Ocelot falling off the platform after being kicked by EVA.

The cutscene in which close-ups of Ocelot's and Naked Snake's eyes are shown in splitscreen, prior to their duel at Bolshaya Past Crevice, was taken from the TV drama series *24*. After the duel with Snake, Ocelot exclaims, "You were lucky! We'll meet again!", the same words that he utters toward Solid Snake under similar circumstances in the original *Metal Gear Solid*.

Ocelot is one of the few Groznyj Grad personnel who is seen inside the weapons lab's west wing in spite of being below Colonel-class.

The license plate of Ocelot's M-72 motorcycle in Groznyj Grad, which he used to pursue EVA and Naked Snake, was 3756 KOT, the latter characters meaning "cat" in Russian.

A hidden Easter egg shows Ocelot secretly in attendance during Big Boss's award ceremony at Langley. Pushing the First Person View button when President Johnson attempts to shake Snake's hand will reveal Ocelot standing outside the office window behind Johnson, performing his trademark gesture. This scene hints toward Ocelot's involvement with the CIA, prior to the big reveal in the post-credits scene.

Although Ocelot and The Boss's familial relationship can be deduced from the game's storyline, it is not made clear whether the two characters themselves were aware of it.

This is also the first game to hint that Ocelot played a major role in the founding of the Patriots, due to the post-credits conversation. However, it was left ambiguous whether he played any role in directly founding the organization beyond ensuring the Legacy was retrieved for the United States until *Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots*, and to a lesser extent, *Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops*.

Ocelot is one of the few antagonist/boss in *Metal Gear Solid 3* who is not an enemy of Naked Snake, as he indirectly helps him on several occasions. His boss fight is also one of the few that doesn't contain any supernatural elements in it and one of only two canon non-lethal fights Snake has in the storyline (the other being the first phase of the Volgin fight).

Ocelot was one of six unique characters for the first version of *Metal Gear Online*, included in *Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence*. His salute was his signature hand gesture, his CQC move was the regular CQC grab and throw technique, and he could only be playable by the highest ranking player, should that player pick the Ocelot Unit as his/her team. In the locker room screen, the player had the option of choosing the Single Action Army if playing as Ocelot.

### *Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops*

 File:Ocelot strategist.gif
Some fans had previously speculated that Ocelot was the "deviously cunning strategist" who had planned The Boss's death, whom Gene mentions to Naked Snake in *Portable Ops*. This was contributed, in part, by the game's reuse of artwork, which originally depicted Ocelot, though it was obscured by shadow to make it virtually unrecognizable.

### *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*

Ocelot appears as one of the spirits in the game's World of Light mode, adopting his *Snake Eater* pachinko appearance. He possesses a puppet fighter of Fox McCloud from the *Star Fox* series (with the orange alternate outfit), and is fought at the Shadow Moses Island stage with increased ranged firepower and a constantly electrified floor. He is an advanced-class primary spirit who possesses 1705 power and can be enhanced at level 99. The spirit guards the level 4 lock monitor. His puppet fighter being Fox McCloud is most likely an allusion to FOXHOUND.

### E3 Battle

Ocelot appeared as a participant in the Konami-sponsored event E3 Battle, where he defeated Twinbee and Winbee from the 1985 game *TwinBee* in the first round via his military might.
Ocelot then faced off against Liquid Snake in the second round, defeating him. He then promptly fought against the Beauty and the Beast Unit in the third round, of whom he finished off. He then proceeded to fight Raiden in the fourth round, only to lose against him.

### *Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops*

 File:MainImg23.jpg
Ocelot also appeared in the Android/iOS game *Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops*, as a character and as several cards. He was also tied with EVA and Raiden with possessing the second most bios on his site, second only to Big Boss himself, detailing his time as a Major in *Metal Gear Solid 3* and his time as Liquid Ocelot.

### *PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale*

Ocelot never actually appears in this multi-game crossover between various franchises on the PlayStation systems, but he was alluded to with the 2v2 matches, where one of the names of the lineups is "Revolver Ocelots."

### *Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes*

Ocelot is an unlockable officer character for the Mother Base developer on the *Ground Zeroes* app.

### Versus Battle

Ocelot also was an opponent on the series official website's Versus Battle, where he fought against Liquid and Solidus.

### *Metal Gear Survive*

 File:Hhc3BC4.jpg
Although Ocelot himself does not make an appearance in *Metal Gear Survive*, his trademark gesture, named "You're pretty good," can be unlocked in the game by completing the event episode "The Encounter: Begin 1964 Event."

## Gameplay

* Shooting the markhor during Naked Snake's battle with Ocelot, at Bolshaya Past Crevice, will cause Ocelot to yell, "Son of a bitch!" Also, Ocelot will be overjoyed if the player, during subsequent playthroughs, managed to twirl the SAA, although he will eventually grow impatient if the player keeps it up and eventually shoots you out of irritation.

* If Snake had any food in his backpack when he was captured by Volgin, EVA will reveal to him that Ocelot stole all of the food and ate it, during an optional radio conversation, after retrieving his gear.

* A hidden R1 moment shows Ocelot secretly in attendance during Big Boss's award ceremony. Doing this in the *Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection* will earn the player the trophy achievement "The Cat's out of the Bag."

* If Snake kills Ocelot after he is knocked unconscious in the Virtuous Mission, or during the fight with Colonel Volgin in the Shagohod hangar, a Game Over will occur. Colonel Campbell from the previous games will then berate Snake for causing a Time Paradox: "Snake, what have you done?! You created a Time Paradox!" Performing this in the *HD Collection* version will also grant the player an achievement/trophy humorously titled "Problem Solved, Series Over." Also, if the player wounds Ocelot during the Virtuous Mission, he'll be wearing a bandage on the wounded area for the rest of the game. During the fight with Volgin, if the player tosses up Rations, Instant Noodles, or Calorie Mates to Ocelot, he'll return the favor by supplying Snake with life medicine and ammunition for the Single Action Army. If the player shakes up Ocelot while he is unconscious during the Virtuous Mission, the player can also procure a mousetrap.

* In the final duel onboard the WIG had four scenarioes, depending on the actions the player chose: Choose the loaded weapon and shoot Ocelot; Choose the loaded weapon and not shoot Ocelot; Choose the loaded weapon and narrowly miss Ocelot, and choose the unloaded weapon. Ocelot will either take both SAAs after the duel, or, if the player chose the final option, let Snake keep the unloaded SAA. This will also allow the player to use the SAA in subsequent playthroughs.
