Higharolla Kockamamie

Higharolla Kockamamie is a terrorist from the country of Teristan and the eight-times recipient of the "Merciless Man of the Year," as well as the "world's premiere bad guy," his stronghold Fortress Fanatic is located at the outskirts of Ishkabibil.

Kockamamie acquired Metal Gear from Colonel Vermon CaTaffy, after the latter sought asylum with him in the aftermath of Solid Snake stopping his plans, and in part because they were both "'Rolla Radicals." He commanded several soldiers utilizing Uzi machine guns.

Behind the scenes
Higharolla Kockamamie is a character mentioned in the instruction manual of the NES game Snake's Revenge. Like Vermon CaTaffy, Kockamamie is not mentioned in the game at all and the ultimate antagonist is a cybernetic version of Big Boss. While Snake's Revenge was never released in Japan, the game was developed by a Japanese staff, so it can be assumed that Kockamamie was a creation of the game's localization, much like CaTaffy.

His name is believed to be a play on that of former leader Ayatollah Khomeini, as well as the word cockamamie, which means "ridiculous" or "trifling."
