Now THIS is complete and utter speculation, but if the weapon that the XOF commander is armed with IS a shotgun, could he possibly be Shotmaker from Metal Gear? There's no clear picture of his face, so Kojima could make up any story he wanted. We do know that he was a former Spetsznaz agent who became a mercenary and eventually joined Outer Heaven, where he was the warden of the prison facility. The XOF commander seems to be calling the shots (pun intended) at Camp Omega, so perhaps this is meant to be a subtle segway from Metal Gear Solid V into Metal Gear. A lot of the characters from Metal Gear have really loose back storys, so if I were Kojima I'd sooner see if there was anything I could do with them rather than inventing new characters to try and tie into the series.
