Personality[]
Revolver Ocelot is best known for his incredible prowess on the battlefield as well as his cunning and decefitul nature and his incredible expert skills as a marksman. He was incredibly intelligent and was a fast learner, being able to learn several techinques from observation and capable of speaking multiple languages. Ocelot was also known to be a charistmatic and charming individual, as the Ocelot unit he commanded were incredibly loyal to him without question, and was even able to command regular GRU soldiers during Operation Snake. He was even a popular figure during his time in the Diamond Dogs, with female soldiers forming a "team" supporting in a rivlary with those who prefered Miller. That being said, there were those who had some concerns and suspcious about him due to his decefitul and unpredictable behavior.
As a young man, Ocelot was incredibly arrogant, egotisical, and heavily cofident in himself. He was known for showing off to boost his ego, was quick to inform others of his rank and status in the military, and being heavily proud of his gunslinging skills, which showcases how he believes he is superior and views others beneath him. That being said, Ocelot was shown to have incredible potential as a soldier and gunslinger. But after his first encounter with Naked Snake, his personality began taking a swift change, as he began taking and utilizing Snake's advice into his own combat style to make himself more of a effective gunslinger. While he was still cocky and arrogant, he became more level-headed and was capable of understanding his mistakes, and became a better soldier because of it. He also came to greatly respect Snake, a sentiment that was quickly shared.
Ocelot was questioned by many of his loyalties due to his tendicies to cross anyone he served under, which is best seen with his triple-crossing nature in the 1980s. However, if there is one person he was ever loyal to, it was none other than his friend and rival Big Boss. Ocelot gravely respected the man and viewed him as a teacher, taking many of his battle advices and observing his techniques to create his own battle tactics. This idolzation and loyalty is ultimately the reason why he even joined FOXHOUND and cotinued on assisting Big Boss, even wantig to cotinue on his dream. That being said, despite his strong loyalty towards Big Boss, he has no qualms in using others to his and Big Boss' benefits and even has no problem turning Big Boss' close comerades, decieving them and frequently butting heads with Miller during his time in the Diamond Dogs.

| ~ Revolver Ocelot to Solid Snake. |
| “ | We need tension...conflict. The world today has become too soft. We're living in an age where true feelings are suppressed. So we're going to shake things up a bit. We'll create a world dripping with tension...a world filled with greed and suspicion, bravery and cowardice. | „ |

Trivia[]
- After his duel with Naked Snake in 1964, Ocelot said, "You were lucky! We'll meet again!" and said the exact same thing to Solid Snake after their fight during the Shadow Moses Incident.
- While he was torturing Snake in 2005, Ocelot mentioned participating in wars in Afghanistan, Eritea, Mozambique, and Chad.
- During the Big Shell Incident, when Ocelot was taking an injection to suppress Liquid Snake's spirit, Raiden could hear what were apparently two heartbeats coming from him with the use of a directional microphone.
- Despite Ocelot only losing his hand to Gray Fox, he replaced his entire right arm.
- His real name, Adamska, is the Russian version of "ADAM", his codename during Operation Snake Eater.
- Ocelot's appearance in Metal Gear Solid was based on Lee Van Cleef, an actor in Western films.
- Van Cleef had a major antagonistic role as Bob Hauk in Escape from New York, where he plays opposite to Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken, who is cited as one of the inspirations for both Solid Snake and Naked Snake.
- Near the end of MGS3, young Ocelot uses a Colt SAA with a stock configuration, similiar to one Lee Van Cleef's character uses in the movie For Few Dollars More (Per qualche dollaro in più).
- Originally his codename would have been "Lynx", but Hideo Kojima disliked the name and changed it to Ocelot instead.
- In Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Ocelot was apparently right-handed since he was able to show off his ability to handle his gun with his right hand. After it was cut off by Gray Fox, he tried to do the same thing with his left at one point, but he just dropped the gun. However, Ocelot was able to use that hand to shoot the PAL key out of Snake's hand without harming Snake or the key.
- In an interview with Yoji Shinakawa, Ocelot's arm would originally have been replaced with a mechanical one. But due to Liquid Snake being popular amongst fans, it was decided to have Ocelot replace his arm with that of Liquid.
- As of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, however, he ultimately ditched Liquid's hand in favor of prosthetic one because of Liquid's influence in said hand proved too much for him to properly maintain his cover as its namesake owner's mental doppelganger.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, when Snake has a Codec communication with Mei Ling about Pikachu, he mentions Ocelot as he recounted the interrogation he experienced at Ocelot's hands in Metal Gear Solid.
- In Metal Gear Solid 3, there are several moments in the game in which Snake has several opportunities to kill Major Ocelot. However, by doing so, will result in a game over via a Time Paradox. This is due to the fact that since Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the prequel to the entire Metal Gear series, killing any of the key characters in the game (Naked Snake, EVA, Ocelot, and Sokolov) would conflict the continuity of the entire Metal Gear series' timeline.
- Players will also acquire the trophy/achievement, Problem Solved, Series Over if playing Metal Gear Solid 3 in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
- At the ending of MGS3, by looking into the First Person View, Snake can spot Major Ocelot behind the President.
- Troy Baker would work with Hideo Kojima again in Death Stranding, where he played Higgs.
