As much as I enjoy you people trying to guess who this guy is, I gotta say enough with the ridiculous theories. Raikov is totally not Skullface. Reasons?

First; Raikov's description doesn't match that of Skullface. He was seemingly shorter than him and less build. Their voices don't match either. While Skullface has this tough-high-school-quarterback voice, Raikov had a less heavier voice, very similar to Raiden's in MGS 2.

Second; Raikov was supposed to be a one-time character, a parody, so you could get a chance to play as a Raiden look-a-like character (I don't know why people would want to do that, though). I mean, come on, his name is Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov. Ain't it obvious enough?
