Someone who appeared in 3 as a ghost and was only in for a minor time. The bosses lover: The Sorrow. More likely than Volgin as he has quite the temper and more of a loud personality, and this guy seems laid back and wise. Coldman would have had to recover from his burns within weeks as Peace Walker was set place about a month before GZ. This guy already has had dealings with Big Boss and Zero, so I would almost gaurentee he was introduced in a previous game. As for Gene, it is doubtful as he was in just "Portable Ops" and not a signature game such as "Peace Walker". No events from PO were exactly crucial to the MGS story line, plus, once again, the actions do not really fit. And Sokolov is another unlikely choice as he is, quite frankly, a wimp. Sokolov couldnt shoot someone let alone torture someone and do all of the other meniacle things Skull Face does. The Sorrow also has motive to kill Big Boss as he killed Boss. Not sure how this would exactly work, but it makes more sense than anything I have read so far.

You are off on something. "Peace Walker" did not take place a month before "Ground Zeros." The "Peace Walker" incident took place in 1974 whereas The events of "Ground Zeros" takes place in 1975. One year later. Here is the link to the article on "Peace Walker" http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_Walker_Incident . As far as proving the in-game time period for "Ground Zeros" just watch the intro to the mission and it will give you the year. "Peace Walker" took place ONE YEAR before, "Ground Zeros."

Technically, yes, but its actually about three to four months after Peace Walker. Peace Walker occurred in November 1974, while the main events of Ground Zeroes took place on March.
