Occasionally we see people accusing Kojima of retconning the story when it is either they themselves being careless with the details in the game or they have looked at other unofficial information (including info on this Wikia) and take that as official.

So far the only recton I can think of -- other than the original MG and MG2SS -- is Dr. Clark and Sunny's gender, which in a sense is more of a "lost in translation" issue than recton (since the Japanese version shows no such problem).

Anyway focusing back on the subject of discussion, unless Konami gives away more details, I believe there's very little we can add to regarding Ishmael before the release of the game. I agree I don't think Kojima Retcons as much as leads us to believe/think one thing then reveals something went in a different direction then we expected. My thoughts on Ismael aside from the fact that we cant really add anything is I think he might be a real person but I could just as easly believe he's a hallucination caused by BB's PTSD or the Fragment stuck in his head or just his subconsious instincts taking over. Kojima I'm pretty sure has said the fragment is  a symbol of BB becoming a demon and the story getting really dark but at the same time I have no trouble believing Kojima also will have it play some role in the story.
