If Kojima is willing to bring back a fan favorite like Psycho Mantis and expand on his history a bit, why not someone like Decoy Octopus whose background is a complete mystery? The bandages Ishmael has matches what Octopus would have from the surgery to transform his face. Who knows, maybe there will be a trademark Kojima twist where the whole game is a simulation set up by the Patriots where you think you're playing as Big Boss, but it ends up being Decoy Octopus impersonating Big Boss! That would suck.

Ismael being Decoy Octopus actually does make sense, considering the facial bandages. I don't think that BB will actually be Decoy Octopus, though. Who knows, though.
