For example, XOF is obviously the mirror of FOX. Does this mean that the roots of the XOF Commander character can be found in FOX's enemies... more specifically, a Russian character?

Further food for thought: it says that "From FOX, two Phantoms were born". Perhaps that means that the XOF Commander was a member of the FOX Unit at some point, and due to Big Boss' actions, ended up scarred and with a grudge?

Food for thought. Kojima is an expert at giving just exactly that to us. Well, the XOF commander is wearing a similar outfit to Galvez, who was KGB. I'm not sure if that necessarily meant he was Russian, though. Technically, he wouldn't be allowed access into the American-owned Camp Omega if he were Russian (though then again, considering how the camp looked more like a Viet Cong camp such as the presence of tiger cages for prisoners, I doubt there was much American influence at the camp, even IF it was American owned).

So far as a former FOX member, the only way he'd have met with Big Boss was during a training op, as the Virtuous Mission was explicitly stated to be his first mission.
