A friend recently brought this to my attention. I found it plausable and interesting. I began to think about it and the more I did, the less I believed in it but here it is. Perhaps Skullface is The Boss's father, robbed of his past and now a ghost. While Skullface doesn't seem to be as old as Codetalker, he does seem to want Cipher, Zero. Someone pointed above that Zero and Ocelot worked for the Philosopher's, or the possibility of it being true is not too far fetched, and it got me thinking. Maybe the Wisemen's commitee are "Those who do not exist". While some know of the Patriot's existence, not many knew about the Philosophers. If Zero and Ocelot worked for said Philosopher's, Zero for the American branch, the fact he disbanded and reformed it to interpet the Boss's supposed dream and learning about her death and being branded as a traitor could've made him vengeful, wanting to make those involved with Snake Eater suffer. Snake was the man who killed the Boss. The fact they knew the truth and chose to remain silent could have made him rather angry at the world itself, so much he made his own version of FOX, XOF. Apologies if there are plotholes, retcons and all as such in this theory. It's late and I'm just writing this on a whim in hopes I can uncover an interesting idea.

Make of it what you will. It would be interesting to see to be honest though apart of me felt The Boss truly died in PEace Walker and Big Boss was born upon her death.
