Sounds like Decoy Octopus to me. He was the master of disquise ("He is who everybody thinks he is"....because he can disquise himself to be anyone). Plus it would explain him having the same voice actor as BB. That was a cryptic comment by Kojima, because so many people will take it to mean that who they think it is, is who everybody thinks it is, ergo that is who it is. It is undeterminable at the current time who Ishmael is. Time will tell. Practically he's not even answering the question, not only we all take this sentence as if he is talking about the character we subjectively think he is, but also that there is a wide range of guesses to his identity (e.g. Octopus, Chico, hallucination, Gray Fox), unlike Huey when he was introduced in the MGSPW trailers.
