History Characters / CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** He does this ''by default'' with just about anyone who has the misfortune of ending up on his bad side. And [[spoiler:if Bell betrays the team so Perseus can detonate the Greenlight nukes across Europe, but fails to contact the KGB in time to set up an ambush, Adler just cuts the conversation off and unloads his weapon into Bell at point-blank for it.]]
** His "take no prisoners" approach is best shown in the confrontations with Qasim Javadi and Anton Volkov. If Mason spares Qasim without taking him into custody, Adler goads Mason into killing him anyways and will do so himself if Mason refuses. If Bell arrests Volkov, he expresses visible disappointment in their decision, conversely, if Bell executes Volkov, he instead displays approval.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Optional, but one can [[spoiler:give Zakhaev a slice of the suffering he will eventually inflict upon the world]] by clubbing him unconscious or choking him out, and to say that he deserves it is sort of an understatement.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Adler prefers dark clothes, wears shades and does a number of really grim things to people who cross him, but he ultimately wants what's best for America and he looks out for his team.

The deuteragonist of ''Black Ops Cold War''. A CIA agent charged with stopping the mysterious Soviet agent known only as Perseus. The ruthless actions he has taken in order to ensure the future of his country has led to him being dubbed "America's Monster".

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Bell's male first person model that's used the most is recycled from the multiplayer character Harry Stone, who is also TheFaceless. This does not necessarily have any plot significance, as reused models are fairly common even in the very high-budget ''Call of Duty'' (i.e. Woods and Menendez own the exact same wristwatch).
** Female Bell reuses Helen Park's first person hands during ''Brick in the Wall'' and her third person model in ''Break on Through''.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Bell's first person model is recycled from the multiplayer character Harry Stone, who is also TheFaceless. This does not necessarily have any plot significance, as reused models are fairly common even in the very high-budget ''Call of Duty'' (i.e. Woods and Menendez own the exact same wristwatch).

** In October 1980, he did became a full member of the Politburo (the highest political body in the Soviet Union), which could somewhat explain his meeting with the KGB, although it's still quite odd.

* ArcherArchetype: He uses a bow for when he chooses to be stealthy. His teaser trailer has him stalk poor Stone with a flaming arrow from the Combat Bow.

* DropTheHammer: He uses a sledgehammer as his weapon.

* GutturalGrowler: His Irish Accent fits very well.
