I'm sure people are all curious as to why the vanity helmets look the way they do, and why each class has that specific helmet. Well I did a little research and have found 2 of the 3 helmets (very similar) with matching stories behind them relating to their SL character's class.
We start with the Operative:
Grey Fox is from the Metal Gear series. A short summary from Metal Gear Wiki - He's a cyborg ninja originally known as Frank Jaeger. He was a part of the "Perfect Soldier Project," during which he was trained to be a more efficient killer. The training also increased his reflexes, but at the cost of his memories and emotions, which were suppressed by a sensory deprivation water tank where he was kept any time he was not training. He received the code name "Grey Fox" after joining the military unit FOXHOUND. Fox was the codename given to only the highest ranking soldiers. Grey Fox was 'killed' by Snake, but his body was recovered and rebuilt with a special exoskeleton which was grafted to his body, turning him into a Cyborg Ninja. With this new 'suit,' he received even faster reflexes, increased strength, and the ability to cloak.
Grey Fox's speed and killing ability relate the most to the operatives damage output and damage per second, making Grey Fox's cyborg helmet a perfect helmet to build off of for the Operative's Vanity.
