Revolver Ocelot, or Shalashaska, is a fictional character who originates in the Metal Gear video game series.

Ocelot specialises in military gunplay and interrogation. He is an ex-Russian Spetsnaz soldier who served during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It was during this time that he became infamous amongst the mujahadeen as a sadist for which they christened him Shalashaska (a Russian slang word for "prison").

In Metal Gear Solid he was 182 cm tall.


Distinguishing features and behaviour
Ocelot is described as being obsessed with guns, cowboy films and spaghetti Westerns. This is reflected in his choice of dress as well as his codename and the weapons he uses - he is armed with two Colt Single Action Army revolvers, which he wields with almost superhuman skill, being both a master of ricochet and fancy gun-twirling techniques; by the time of Metal Gear Solid 2, he seems to have attained the uncanny ability to draw his weapon and shoot any target in the heart in a split second. He also uses a technique known as 'fanning', in which one hand holds the revolver and the other hits the revolver hammer repeatedly, allowing for rapid fire. He was inspired to use revolvers after his first meeting with Big Boss when they fought each other. Big Boss, who was under codename "Naked Snake", watched Ocelot wield a Makarov and said his technique would be better suited for a revolver. The next time Ocelot and Snake met, Ocelot had an engraved version of the Colt Single Action Army.


History
Chronologically, Ocelot first appears in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in his younger years. He is part of GRU and is Major of the Ocelot unit of Spetsnaz, although in reality he is a double agent working for the CIA, and a former NSA codebreaker under the code name ADAM; ultimately, he answers to "The Patriots". He is hinted during the events of the game to be the son of two legendary members of the Cobra unit, The Sorrow and The Boss, with his year of birth being 1944.

At the end of their confrontation on the WIG aircraft at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3, Naked Snake told Ocelot that his real name was John (it is generally accepted that Jack is a nickname for John, as Dick is to Richard, Bill to William, etc). Ocelot tells Snake that his real name is Adamska. Many years later, in Metal Gear Solid he is a member of High-Tech Special Forces Unit FOX-HOUND, an elite special forces group which at that time is composed of former mercenaries. During FOX-HOUND's attempted "revolution" using a new nuclear weapons system, he loses his right arm below the elbow to Gray Fox. Afterwards it is revealed that Ocelot had been secretly working for the then-President of the United States, Solidus Snake. Ocelot then recieves a partial arm transplant performed in Lyon, France. The operation is paid for by Solidus Snake, and the arm belongs to Liquid Snake, who died of FOXDIE in Metal Gear Solid.

Ocelot resurfaces in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, attempting to capture a sophisticated "Metal Gear hunter" system, claiming to be "returning it" to its rightful owners. At this point it becomes apparent that Liquid is able to take over Ocelot's mind and body via the arm. The reason why Liquid can take over Ocelot may be because of possible abilities as a medium inhereted from his father The Sorrow. Ocelot is seen using injections of some sort to suppress the manifestations.

During the events of MGS2, Ocelot apparently aids Solidus Snake in fighting the mysterious Patriots, a group Solidus believes is running a simulation intended to prove that, given the right circumstances, any soldier can become as skilled as the legendary Solid Snake. Once again, however, he double-crosses his comrades, revealing that he is working with the Patriots. The sinister group has stage-managed the events of Solidus' action with precision; Ocelot's final role is to finish off the remaining "evidence", namely Solidus, Solid Snake, Raiden, and Fortune. However, Liquid takes over Ocelot's body again, and steals Metal Gear RAY with the intention of using it to destroy the Patriots.

Often gamers complain that Ocelots motives and actions are difficult to follow, but one thing must be remembered: his only loyalty has been to the American Philosophers, who later became the Patriots. He knows and obeys their commands, despite the role he may be playing at the time
