I’ve been reading up on disc one final boss, skull face is obviously the main villain of the phantom pain, but he dies ridiculously early in the game and it seems like someone else takes over entirely, but he still counts as the big bad, kind of similar to Candie and Stephen form Django where candie is the big bad despite dying pretty quickly into the film and Stephen taking over, is it their influence that makes them the big bad? Or are there second in commands now the big bad? Nothing really important just curious.

Like say the main villain for most of the game is a sort of spy and then they are taken down by a criminal near the end of the game, does the spy still count as the big bad or does the criminal?
