So, who do we think the XOF Commander will turn out to be? Or is he just a completely new character with sudden links towards FOX, MSF and Big Boss.

To rule out some potential figures:

Gene pretty much died because he was filled with bullets after the fight with Big Boss, it also doesn't match with how he ran things back in Portable Ops as I highly doubt he'd ever hold children hostage.

Coldman had a tattoo on the back of his head so that rules him out completely, plus he died from being fatally shot and pretty much died of blood loss.

Galvez, again he was shot several times by Big Boss (albeit in self-defense) and died from his wounds. (Galvez was mentioned as the burned man's clothing looked very similar to his.)

Volgin died due to being struck by lightning, which could technically give him burnwounds...BUT, Volgin's face was pretty messed up already and we don't see that back in the XOF Commander.

Zero (yes, I've seen people think it may be him) was too busy amassing his wealth and resources while at the same time, spreading his influences and power, also the commander lacks Zero's trademark scar.

Big Boss faced others, but most of the baddies faced by Big Boss died due to gunfire, I don't recall anyone (apart from the Fury) to really have gone up in flames.
