What what what? When was this revealed?
Man, I feel like such an MGS newb!
It was revealed in a codec conversation you can have with Eva
Jack: EVA, I wanted to ask you about Ocelot
EVA: Yeah, I know. Hes pretty infatuated with you, isnt he?
Jack: Thats not what I meant. Arent the Ocelots an elite unit?
EVA: Yeah.
Jack: So howd he get to be their commander? He cant be any older than 18 or 19. I cant believe hes already a major
EVA: I heard from the Colonel that hes been given
special treatment.
Jack: Special treatment?
EVA: Yeah. Hes the son of some legendary hero or something.
Jack: No wonder he seems to have the right stuff
So who is this legendary hero, anyway?
EVA: Beats me.
Jack:
EVA: The Colonel never told me. All I heard was that his mother was supposedly shot in the gut during battle and that he was born right there, with bullets whizzing past them.
Jack: A pregnant woman in the middle of a battle?
EVA: Thats what I heard. They say that when they stitched her up, the scar was shaped like a snake.
Jack: Well, thats battlefield medicine for you. What about his father, this legendary hero?
EVA: He didnt tell me. I dont think Ocelots ever met his parents.
Jack: Are they dead?
EVA: Maybe, I dont know. There were a lot of MIAs back then, during the last days of the war. Ocelot probably would have ended up the same way. But he was taken in and raised by GRU and Volgin.
Jack: Because he was special?
EVA: Thats my guess.
