Gene may have been charismatic, but it was through both deception and mental influence, and he did allow the torture of Big Boss by Cunningham. But irrespective of that, I don't believe he is the XOF commander, as I think Gene would be more likely to ally with Big Boss against the Patriots/Cipher, rather than destroy his MSF at their bidding.
