I wasn't saying he is a false, imitation or pretend OC.
I was saying he is an OC who is so limited in what he can do by the person above him, that he basically takes on the appearance of that person and what we see from him is limited to what we would see from the other person if they were just performing the job themselves. With "sudo" a user performs a task as another user, but is strictly limited to doing things within the confines of that users security privileges and thus is confined to the shell of that user and actually appears to be him.
Get it now?
