Not sure anyone cares and it isn't even too pertinent to the story, but I'm definitely subscribing to the theory that the real EVA that defected to the Soviet Union as double agents for the CIA is Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov (the guy who looks like Raiden that Snake impersonates). My top points that support my theory below:
- Ocelot is the real ADAM; Ocelot's real name is ADAMska.
- EVA is the codename of a male.
- The name Ivan is sometimes pronounced "Yvonne," like the girls name, but with more of an "ah." (my name is pronounced like this as is every Bosnian Ivan). The pronounciation of YVOnne would explain why his codename is EVA. - i.e. the IVA part of Ivan is pronounced exactly like EVA is, just as Ocelot's codename is the first pronunciation of his real name.
- Raikov's face is the model of the mask Naked Snake drops in with at the beginning of the name; Sigint or Zero mention that the model of the mask was an old CIA agent or something in that regard.
- Raikov is in a relationship with Volgin; this makes sense if he's one of the "defected" spies, trying to get close to the enemy unrelated to Operation Snake Eater.
Well... just thought I'd pop in and put this here, mainly for the pronunciation point since a lot of people question why Raikov would choose the codename EVA.
