History Characters / CallOfDutyZombiesOtherCharacters

* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:He is a major antagonist for the Aether story during ''Black Ops IV''.

* LightningBruiser: He has over ''250,000'' base health points (and has another 250,00 added for every player in the game) and can move as fast as you can sprint when aggroed.

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She makes her debut in ''Revelations'', the final map of ''Black Ops III'' and the final major map of the Aether/Apothicon storyline.

* BrutalHonesty: Him telling Primus!Richtofen that he isn't sorry for him while he's dying of exsanguination.
* HopeSpot: His very existence was this, as he is a doctor that could have saved Primus!Richtofen, but instead he cruelly says that the future is changed and that he won't be needing the blood vials anymore before taking the others and leaving him to his fate.

* WalkingSpoiler: That fact that this version of Richtofen appears after Primus!Richtofen performs a HeroicSacrifice, that the cycle is broken and that the Primis story isn't over quite yet.

* BarrierWarrior: When you fight him, you have to find a way to deplete his barrier before you can harm him.

* VillainsNeverLie: During ''Revelations'', he's actually telling the truth when he informs the crew that once they defeat him, Monty will allow them to simply fade out of existence. [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' also seemingly confirms his claims that Monty is evil, as in the ending, post-''Revelations'' Richtofen tasks Primis with defeating Monty.]]

* ArchEnemy: Without a doubt, [[BigBad Ultimis Richtofen]].

* DemotedToExtra: Barely appears in the series after ''Black Ops'' besides a critical and major role in ''Origins''.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Inexplicably drops her German accent in trade for an American one in ''Origins'' and onwards, though she briefly returns to it in the red phone message in ''Classified''.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Her goal to kill the rest of Group 935 has elements of this, to say the least.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: There are some ominous signs that Monty is not the benevolent guy he's cracked up to be. Trying to erase the Primis crew is one thing, he meant no harm and genuinely came to like them by that point. But in his last notes, Primis Dempsey mentioned if Monty ever found a certain place, they'd all be doomed. Richtofen and Maxis are certainly both eager to keep certain information from him. [[spoiler: At the end of ''Blood of the Dead'', post-''Revelations'' Richtofen says that they need to defeat him.]]

* BigGood: He's the most powerful non-hostile entity encountered in the game mode so far and he's willing to help the main four save the universe. As he steps into the role during the endgame of the series and the reveals about his knowledge of the Apothicons, this makes him the BigGood of the entire series.

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' seems to confirm that he is in fact an antagonist when post-''Revelations'' Richtofen tasks Nikolai and the others with defeating him.]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: He takes on a human form when appearing to the crew in ''Revelations''. The ''Alpha Omega'' intro cinematic confirms that when not in this form, he looks just as eldritch and monstrous as his Keeper brethren.

->'''Appearances''': ''Origins'' [[note]]First physical appearance[[/note]] | ''The Giant'' | ''Revelations'' | ''Blood of the Dead''

* BigGood: He coordinates Richtofen's journey in ''Black Ops III'', though he defers to [[spoiler:Monty.]]

* BrainUploading: More like [[InvertedTrope "Brain Download"]]. In ''Revelations'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:only his brain was placed into a new body by Monty, [[TheSoulless his soul being apparently lost for the time being]]]].
* CoolOldGuy: During World War I he tried to be a father figure to Richtofen, and now he's helping him save the universe, [[spoiler:but as he lacks a soul, he's vulnerable to being corrupted by the Shadow Man.]]
* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:In ''Revelations'', he is corrupted by the Apothicons and accidentally unleashes the Shadow Man]].
* TheFaceless: Subverted, unlike his Ultimis counterpart. He is finally seen in an old photograph from World War I in the opening cutscene of ''Origins'', and he makes his first physical appearance when we first see his lobotomized body, and then when he is uploaded into a quadrotor drone. It isn't until ''Revelations'' that his human form ([[spoiler: or at least, the one Monty gives him based on his Primis body]]) makes a physical appearance.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Revelations'', he and Sophia use their life force to help seal away the Apothicons forever.]]

* LoveMakesYouEvil: In ''Revelations'', [[spoiler:the Shadow Man is able to corrupt him with the warning that only he can help save his daughter and the new world that Monty created for him.]]

* TheSoulless: [[spoiler:After ''Origins'', Monty gave him a new body, but was literally unable to give him back his soul which he lost when he was killed and lobotomized by Richtofen. This led to his corruption by the Shadow Man.]]
* TeamDad: [[spoiler:Appears to be the only adult figure in the House, the realm created by Dr. Monty for Samantha and the ''Origins'' cast to live out peaceful lives, as his daughter and the others are all children, making him this.]]
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: His last words are assuring SOPHIA that they will be together always as they prepare to sacrifice their lives to seal away the Apothicons.]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Implied by the fact he takes on a human form when appearing to the crew in ''Revelations''.

* InkSuitActor: His actor Malcolm [=McDowell=]'s likeness is used to portray the form he appears in during ''Revelations''.

-->'''Dr. Monty''': You need to stop thinking in terms of originals - old and new, it's not like that. When you look in the mirror, it's still you. If you crack that mirror you see multiple reflections. It doesn't mean you've actually multiplied, does it?

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He intended for Primis to fade out of existence with the defeat of the Apothicons, but to his dismay, Richtofen caught on and ensured they survived the resetting of the universe. Monty allows them to go back in time to be Primis in Earth's Middle Ages.

* BadassBeard: Sports a manificent example.
* BadassGrandpa: Not exactly 'old', but his hair is tinged gray and many of his tropes can attest to his badassitude.
* DistressedDude

* WhenYouComingHomeDad?: His fixation on his adventures and research led him to neglect his daughter extensively, which greatly contributed to her current personality.

* TurnedToStone: [[spolier:His apaparent fate at the hands of Medusa, prior to ''Ancient Evil''.]]
* WhenAreYouComingHomeDad?: His fixation on his adventures and research led him to neglect his daughter extensively, which greatly contributed to her current personality.

* EccentricMillionare: His riches are spent just as much on futuristic inventions as they are on priceless artefacts.

* WhenAreYouComingHome,Dad?: His fixation on his adventures and research led him to neglect his daughter extensively, which greatly contributed to her current personality.

The main antagonists of the Chaos Story, the Order are an ancient and mysterious cult who seek to harness the power of Prima Materia themselves. They're responaible for the kidnapping of Alisatir Rhodes and the activation of the Sentinel Trial on every map except for ''Ancient Evil''.

->'''Appearences''': ''Ancient Evil''

* TheDragon: Implied to be this to the entity behind the events going on in the map. [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' confirms it. In the boss fight, he begins chanting in the Apothicon language, suggesting he is a servant of the Apothicons.]]
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: ''Blood of the Dead'' makes it clear that his service to his evil master drove him insane. He waxed poetically about how he loved having a prison full of inmates to rule over.

* HearingVoices: As a human, he prayed to and received instructions from an unknown evil entity that spoke to him in his head.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:After Revelations!Richtofen unleashes the energy from his crystal, his next death kills him for good, releasing all of the souls trapped in Alcatraz.]]

* PunchClockVillain: It's implied Brutus is just doing his job for his master, whatever or whoever that may be, and claims he's stuck in Alcatraz like the mobsters. [[spoiler:Him being trapped is what motivates him to attack Primus, as they could free him from his trap for good.]]

* WardensAreEvil: As a demonic prison warden, it's sort of his job to actively get in your way. He locks up the box, the Perk-a-Cola machines, the work benches and even the plane if he gets near them. Unlocking them costs 2000 points, a price that increases every time he locks it down within a round. ''Blood'' confirms that he was evil even from the start, serving a dark master who corrupted him.

* ArchEnemy: Without a doubt, [[BigBad Ultimis Richtofen.]]

In life, he was the warden of Alcatraz, but these days, Brutus serves an eternal tenure as the guardian of the Alcatraz pocket dimension at the behest of his evil master.

* BigBad: Downplayed, he's the boss zombie, no doubt. But [[{{Evil Vs Evil}} the prisoners are no better than him.]] He is firmly in the role for ''Blood of the Dead'', since he’s targeting the far more heroic Primis crew.
* TheDragon: Implied to be this to the Satanic entity behind the events going on in the map. [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' confirms it. In the boss fight, he begins chanting in the Apothicon language, suggesting he is a servant of the Apothicons.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Killed in the intro, [[{{NotQuiteDead}} except not really.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: Likes Sal and Finn. Billy and Albert however...

* TheJuggernaut: He's unstoppable.

* HauntedHouse: They live in a mansion. You better hope they don't overrun you. Oh, and the Pack-A-Punch Machine is behind the mansion, beyond [[TheMaze a maze.]] Good luck trying to upgrade those weapons you have.

->'''Voiced by''': Julie Nathanson (as Samantha ([=WaW/BO1/BO4=])/Satan/[[spoiler:the Apothicons]]), Creator/NolanNorth (Richtofen), Creator/FredTatasciore (Maxis/The Chaos Entity[[note]]If it ''is'' the High Priest[[/note]]) and Grace Kaufman (Samantha ([=BO2=]))

The title of the demonic, and in some ways eldritch, entity who controls the zombies. In ''World at War'' and ''Black Ops'', Samantha takes the reigns. Starting from the end of Moon, extending into ''Black Ops II'', Richtofen takes over, and by the end of his side of Buried's story easter egg, Dr. Maxis usurps him. On Mob of the Dead, it's implied to be Satan himself, and as of ''Black Ops III'', the Apothicons have taken the mantle, though both recycle Samantha's voice lines. A new entity takes over for the Chaos story, supposedly being the High Priest of Chaos in ''IX'', but otherwise unknown.

The concept of the Demomic Announcer is also used in other Zombie modes; ''Advanced Warfare's'' Exo Zombies has AN-G and ''Infinite Warfare's'' Zombies mode uses Willard Wyler. Sledgehammer's Nazi Zombies lacks a counterpart, partly due to its more grounded take on the series. Outside of the concept (and in some cases the name), they are unrelated to the Treyarch incarnation.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the game mode. While Samantha, Richtofen, Maxis, and The Shadow Man are the most direct antagonists you face, whatever this entity is, it's definitely far more powerful than any of them and appears to be behind everything. Samantha even warns Richtofen that something far worse than him lurks in the Aether. ''Shadows of Evil'' and ''Revelations'' imply that the Shadow Man is unfamiliar with this entity since he has to be told it by his reporter friend, and ''Blood of the Dead'' strongly implies that this entity is separate from the Apothicons. ''IX'' and ''Voyage of Despair'' confirm this, as the entity is still around despite a seeming lack of controller (that we currently know of).
* {{Satan}}: It is heavily implied to be Old Scratch himself controlling the zombies in ''Mob of the Dead'' (although the quotes are Samantha's reused), what with the Satanic motifs decorating the prison, the zombies having red eyes, and the characters debating if they're in purgatory. The big clue, however, is entering either 115 or 935 into the electric number pad, and an unknown voice speaks, changing the numbers to 666. Additionally, Samantha had stated that there was something worse than even Richtofen in the Aether.
** ''Blood'' ultimately josses this, with Brutus shown to be speaking Apothicon in events within the map, revealing the Apothicons rule Alcatraz as well.
* TheUnreveal: Despite all the foreshadowing from Samantha and ''Mob of the Dead'', we never learn what this entity's true nature really is. Given the late revelations that the Apothicons and the Shadow Man are behind pretty much everything evil in the series, it's possible, but unconfirmed, that this entity ''was'' an Apothicon, at least before ''Black Ops III'' where they firmly take the reigns as the announcer.

->'''Appearances''': ''Moon''[[note]]mentioned only[[/note]] | ''Shadows of Evil'' | ''Revelations''

* EldritchAbomination: They are utterly alien in appearance and abilities.

* SemperFi: They're US Marines.

A boss zombie. He appears and 'patrols' Alcatraz, locking perks and the box as he goes. He is actually the warden as a zombie.

* EnemyMine: He and Weasel join forces in the EasterEgg climax to ensure Weasel survives.

* BenevolentBoss: He's very polite and generously compensates his reporter friend for all of his hard work (it helps that as a reality-warping demon he can conjure as much money as he'd like), even if he is out to destroy him and his dimension. [[spoiler: Judging by his conversations with the Warden in ''Blood of the Dead'', he's also pretty gracious and gives him several pep talks.]]

* FinalBoss: Of ''Black Ops III Zombies'', as the Easter Egg to ''Revelations'' ends with a fight with him.

* {{Satan}}: [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' reveals via secret messages in the Warden's radio recordings that he is the Warden's Satanic master.]]

A version of Richtofen cyrogenically frozen in another version of himself's lab. His appearance is where it's made clear that the Aether story in Black Ops IV is ''not'' a PostScriptSeason.

* KickTheDog: Combined with BrutalHonesty. Coming to pick up the Summoning Key from Primis!Richtofen and leaving him to die? Mostly understandable. Saying "i wish i could say i'm sorry, but i'm not" right before leaving him to die? dick move.

* {{Satan}}: [[spoiler: ''Blood of the Dead'' reveals ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgwhB71WSqM via a datamined quote]]) that he is the Warden's Satanic master.]]

* BigBad: Of the ''World at War'' and ''Black Ops'' arcs. At first.

* WardensAreEvil: As a demonic prison warden, it's sort of his job to actively get in the Mobsters' way. He locks up the box, the perk-a-cola machines, the work benches and even the plane if he gets near them. Unlocking them costs 2000 points, a price that increases every time he locks it down within a round. ''Blood'' confirms that he was evil even from the start, serving a dark master who corrupted him.

* NotQuiteDead: More like never died at all.

->'''Voiced by''': Julie Nathanson (as Samantha ([=WaW/BO1=])/Satan/[[spoiler:the Apothicons]]), Creator/NolanNorth (Richtofen), Creator/FredTatasciore (Maxis) and Grace Kaufman (Samantha ([=BO2=]))

The title of the demonic, and in at least one universe Satanic, entity who controls the zombies. In ''World at War'' and ''Black Ops'', Samantha takes the reigns. Starting from the end of Moon, extending into ''Black Ops II'',Richtofen takes over, and by the end of his side of Buried's story easter egg, Dr. Maxis usurps him.

* OutsideContextProblem: Monty was unaware of his presence inside the Summoning Key.

* TheGenericGuy: [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Unlike the other survivors after them]], these guys have no real personality or characterization to speak of.

* TheUnfettered: Doesn't really care the Primis!Richtofen is dying in the machine, even saying to his face that he isn't sorry about it.
