* PunyEarthlings: See TheReasonYouSuckSpeech

* WalkingSpoiler

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Not a single person in the mode has a good thing to say about him. Not Weaver (considering he captured Samantha and threw her into the Dark Aether), not Ravenov (who is also good friends with Samantha and is horrified to hear what Peck did to her), not Requiem (as he's a traitor to his home country), not even ''Omega Group'' (who find him just as insufferable as everyone else and even worked behind his back).

->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (child), Creator/Nolan North (adult)

--> '''Dark Aether:''' ''Mauer der Toten'' | ''Forsaken''

* WellIntentionedExtremist: His methods are quite unethical, including [[HeKnowsTooMuch killing some of his own agents]] and [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing Samantha to test her powers]], but he is clearly trying to contain the threat of the Dark Aether and does generally care for his team.

->'''Appearances''': ''Die Maschine'' | ''Firebase Z'' | ''Outbreak''

* TheVietnamVet: A recording from him found in ''Firebase Z'' has him reminisce on his experience fighting in 'Nam, as this mission involves sending the team there. Given Mason and Woods' explanation that Adler and Sims fought alongside them back during the events of ''Black Ops'', it's very likely that Carver has history with Operators such as Woods, Adler, or Sims.

* KarmaHoudini: Remains untouched by Requiem inside his sealed office by the end of ''Firebase Z''. [[spoiler: Subverted by Omega Group, however. They're not exactly happy that he let the base fall and Requiem escape with their prize, and Kravchenko takes one of his eyes in response.]]

[[folder: Director of Requiem]]
!!Director [[spoiler:Edward Richtofen]]
The enigmatic director of Requiem.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[Ends up becoming one in ''Forsaken''. Seems like listening to Zykov was the wrong call to make.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He and Jager abandon Omega during the events of ''Forsaken'', both realising they're in a situation they can't control and reasoning that they should leave the failure to Kravchenko and Kravchenko alone.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He and Goreb abandon Omega during the events of ''Forsaken'', both realising they're in a situation they can't control and reasoning that they should leave the failure to Kravchenko and Kravchenko alone.]]

->'''Appearances''': ''Die Maschine'' | ''Firebase Z'' | ''Outbreak'' | ''Mauer der Toten''

->'''Appearances''': ''Firebase Z'' | ''Outbreak'' | ''Mauer der Toten''

Leader of Omega Group and CanonImmigrant from the main Black Ops series. For more information on him, click [[Characters/CallOfDutyBlackOps here]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Over the course of ''Forsaken'', tired of Kravchenko believing he can control the Forsaken, he defects from Omega and works with Requiem to seal him away.]]
* InsufferableGenius: Has an IQ of 179, and seems incapable to talking to anyone without insulting them.

* KarmaHoudini: Remains untouched by Requiem inside his sealed office by the end of ''Firebase Z''. [[spoiler: Subverted. Omega Group is not exactly happy that he let the base fall and Requiem escape with their prize, and Kravchenko takes one of his eyes in response.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Intel from season 6 states that he is affiliated with Requiem]]

* TheVoice: In his appearences in Firebase Z and Outbreak, in audio logs and radio transmission intel. He makes a physical appearance in Mauer Der Toten.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Employs this in order to get humans to open outbreak zones on Earth[[spoiler:, like appearing as Ulrich Vogel to get Valentina to create the outbreak zone in ''Mauer der Toten''.]]

!! The Forsaken/[[spoiler:Kazimar Zykov]]

[[folder:Kazamir Zykov]]

->'''Appearances''': ''Die Maschine'' | ''Firebase Z''| ''Mauer der Toten''

->'''Appearances''': ''Firebase Z'' | ''Outbreak''

->'''Appearances''': ''Die Maschine''[[note]]intro, intel [[/note]] | ''Firebase Z''[[note]] intel [[/note]] | ''Outbreak''[[note]] intel [[/note]] | ''Mauer der Toten'' [[note]] intel [[/note]]

A World War 2 Soviet tank engineer who was tasked to originally shut down the Cyclotron in ''Die Maschine''. Although he succeeded, he became trapped in the Dark Aether for several years. Zykov would make attempts to establish contact with anyone who can bring him home.

* PlayingBothSides: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. [[spoiler: He has been in contact with both Requiem and Omega Group, but his motivation is merely to return home and stop [[BigBad The Forsaken]].]]

[[folder:The Forsaken]]
!! The Forsaken
->'''Appearances''': ''Die Maschine'' | ''Firebase Z'' | ''Outbreak'' | ''Mauer der Toten''

An Elder God who dwells in the Dark Aether and the main antagonist of the Dark Aether storyline.

* BigBad: Serves as this and as the announcer for the Zombies mode in Cold War.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Speaks with a menacing growl.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Employs this in order to get humans to open outbreak zones on Earth[[spoiler:, like appearing as Ulrich Vogel to get Valentina to create the outbreak zone in ''Mauer der Toten''.]]

* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: As revealed in an audio log, Valentina seems to be working for an unknown entity and is using Omega Group to further this entity's plan. ''Mauer der Toten'' reveals that the entity is in fact Dr. Vogel, her father; assuming this isn't "[[BigBad The One]]" pretending to be him.]]

* NotSoDifferent: As he points out to the mobsters sometimes when they kill him, he's trapped in Alcatraz just like them.

* TheVoiceless: He never speaks during his appearances in ''Black Ops IV''.

* MesACrowd: According to Doctor Monty, the Keepers, like our heroes, have been shattered and scattered across the newly-created multiverse, which makes it very difficult for them to directly intervene.

* SquishyWizard: With the notable exceptions of the giant Keeper in ''Der Eisendrache'' and the Keeper Protector in ''Revelations'', Keepers have very little in the ways of either offensive or defensive capabilities, despite being one of the first and most powerful races in the multiverse. They can pull off some crazy stuff via extended rituals, but in direct combat they are practically reskins of regular zombies.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Jeb Brown (creator of the Pack-A-Punch machine) believed them to be angels. Considering their relation to the god-like Doctor Monty and their opposition to the monstrous Apothicons, they're the closest angelic analogue that the COD Zombies multiverse has.

* PetTheDog: After [[TraumaCongaLine everything]] that Sam's been through in the Dark Aether, she's nothing if not nice to her during most of their interactions through the Audio Logs.

* PopCulturedBadass: Gorev seems to have a fondness for Western movies, referencing Film/AnAmericanInParis and the [[Film/DollarsTrilogy Man with No Name]] in some intel.
