History Characters / CallOfDutyZombiesUltimisAndPrimis

* WeaponOfChoice: During the WWII era, the [[CoolGuns/MachineGuns BAR]]. Afterwards, the [[CoolGuns/AssaultRifles M16 and its upgraded variant]], and later the Overkill (shared with Primis Dempsey) in ''Black Ops IIII''.

* WeaponOfChoice: The [[CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns PPsH-41]] during the WWII era. Afterwards, the [[CoolGuns/BattleRifles FAL]] and the upgraded [[CoolGuns/MachineGuns HK21]]. He also shares the Hellfire with his Primis counterpart in ''Black Ops IIII''.

* WeaponOfChoice: The [[CoolGuns/AssaultRifles AK-74u]] and [[CoolGuns/BattleRifles the upgraded M14.]] And, of course, his katana; the Path of Sorrows.

* WeaponOfChoice: If it's not the [=Wunderwaffe-DG2=], it's the [[CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns MP40]] until he changes over to the Spectre. He also has a preference for the upgraded G11.

* WeaponOfChoice: If it's not the [=Wunderwaffe-DG2=], it's the [[CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns MP40]] until he changes over to the [[RareGuns/SubmachineGuns Spectre]]. He also has a preference for the upgraded G11.

* WeaponOfChoice: If it's not the [=Wunderwaffe-DG2=], it's the [[CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns MP40]] until he changes over to the [[RareGuns/SubmachineGuns Spectre]]. He also has a preference for the [[RareGuns/AssaultRifles upgraded G11]].

* BadassCrew: Even moreso than the original group, thanks to the technology and powers they attain and the fact they're up against the UltimateEvil of the universe and win. Twice.

* FiveManBand: They form one in ''Origins''. They later become TheTeam.
** TheLeader: Dempsey - the most affirmative, and he's the first to decide to band together with Richtofen and the others follow suit.
** TheLancer: Takeo - He contrasts from Dempsey in that he's still the most willing to bring Richtofen in for his country.
** TheBigGuy: Nikolai - The biggest, strongest and burliest, though here he's more intelligent than previous maps.
** TheSmartGuy: Richtofen - Being the last survivor of the excavation team, he knows the most about Samantha, Element 115, the zombies, and practically everything.
** TheChick: Samantha, by default, who may also qualify as the [[BigGood Big Good]].
** SixthRanger: Maxis, once you build him a drone to use as a vessel.

In the new timeline, Nikolai is almost unrecognizable. A world-weary, battle-worn soldier, Nikolai looks forward to the end of the group's war with the powers of darkness. However, for this to come to pass, Nikolai must confront the darkest moment of his past if they are to save the universe.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Narrates the ''Gorod Krovi'' trailer and its Easter egg is about him.

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:During ''Blood of the Dead'', he suggests to Dempsey that they both kill Richtofen to take command. Tank is quick to call him out on it, citing it as "bad fucking karma". Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}, since he is appointed leader after Richtofen is killed at the map's conclusion.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: From ''Origins'' on, Nikolai is back to being a serious and competent soldier. He later recognizes that this does not detract from the original's combat prowess ''at all'', however.

** They're both misidentified as Nazis (It's implied that Richtofen has worked for them but did not share their view, while Valve has gone on record as stating that making Medic a Nazi would be "too easy").

** They're both misidentified as Nazis (Group 935 worked for them but did not share their view, while Valve has gone on record as stating that making Medic a Nazi would be "too easy").

* ThoseWackyNazis: Subverted. Group 935 was around long before the Nazi Party, but ended up exchanging their Wonder Weapons for funding, though they never saw service. It's implied Maxis never intended to help the Nazi Party and was just stalling, even when the Wunderwaffe exceeded expectations, and refused to mass-produce it for the Nazi's. There are a number of references to Richtofen still having traits of the Nazis, such as him wearing a Nazi uniform and owning a Hitler Youth knife, but he is not a Nazi himself.

* LargeHam: Nowhere near as loud as Dempsey or Richtofen, but he certainly chews the scenery. Taken UpToEleven during ''Gorod Krovi'', where Ultimis Nikolai is piloting a HumongousMecha, and makes over-the-top taunts when battling the zombies, the dragon, and the Primis crew:

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"I know, and I'm so sorry."]]

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"I wanted to keep going... This me. I was the nicest one... And you won't even remember me."]]

* GoodIsNotNice: Is arguably the central protagonist of the Primis timeline, but is still an abrasive JerkAss who avoids telling his comrades anything unless he has to, and shows remarkably little remorse for the various individuals he [[IDidWhatIHadToDo has to screw over to accomplish his goals.]] [[RealityEnsues This comes back to bite him]] ''hard'' in ''Blood of the Dead''; trapping everyone in a demonic Alcatraz and being vague about why they're even there causes everyone else to slowly hate him[[spoiler:, and they abandon him to his demise the moment they can escape]].

* DepravedHomosexual: A few jokes in ''Call of the Dead'' and ''Shangri-La'' seem to imply this, with Richtofen "accidentally" grabbing Dempsey while trying to pull a lever ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar the implication being]] [[GroinAttack Richtofen grabbed Dempsey's dick]]) and [[AssShove putting his finger in his ass]] ([[PervertRevengeMode with Dempsey punching Richtofen flat on his in response]]), and in ''Shangri-La'', [[AssShove getting spikes shoved up his ass]] has him [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Scream Like A Little Girl]] [[TooKinkyToTorture before saying they should buy him dinner next time]], and he sometimes says "It's a small gun, but it has a LONG barrel - [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything like my college roommate]]". And that's not mentioning his VillainousCrush on Nikolai.

* VodkaDrunkenski: See above.

* TheEeyore: One of the new main sources of comedy for him, complete with plenty of world-weary sighs, ThirdPersonPerson, and pitch-black GallowsHumor.

* FutureMeScaresMe: Not scares as much as "disgusts". In the endings of both ''Gorod Krovi'' and [[spoiler:''Classified'']], he express disdain for how much an alcoholic his Ultimis self is.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: See WeaponOfChoice.

* UndyingLoyalty: To the group as a whole by the end of their adventures.

* ComicallySerious: From ''Ascension'' onwards.

* TheLeader: He seems to take over once Richtofen enters the Aether and takes control of the Zombies and Maxis leaves them, since he's completely recovered his memory. Averted in ''Origins'' and onwards.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Richtofen barely remembers him, except in ''Call of The Dead'''s radio messages. This also may be out of spite since Takeo was the only one who had recovered his memory and was more onto him. Was often this to the rest of the cast prior to ''Ascension''. [[{{Flanderization}} After that]], he managed to break out as the ComicallySerious.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Revive Soda.

* CoolSword: The Path of Sorrows, his signature Katana, which eventually becomes usable in ''Revelations'' and ''Black Ops IIII''.

* * ArmorIsUseless: [[PlayingWithATrope Played straight]] against zombies, [[AvertedTrope averted]] against bullets in the ''Gorod Krovi'' end cutscene, where his chest armour allows him to survive [[spoiler: being shot by his Ultimis counterpart]].

* TheAlcoholic: He CRAVES vodka, but alas he can't find any. The only time he does is in ''Call of The Dead'', where you have to find it and give it to him. The closest he got before that was that the cut Perk-A-Cola Turfbrew makes Nikolai remark it tasted like beer. When Richtofen experimented with him, he needed a Vodka-based serum to stay responsive. As revealed in ''Gorod Krovi'', he began drinking to forget the loss of the love of his life.

* LastNameBasis: As "Masakai" is his first name, and everyone refers to him as Takeo, he employs this trope.

* PragmaticHero: [[spoiler: Nikolai commits some very questionable acts during the endgame of ''Black Ops IV'', all to bring about the end of the cycle and of Element 115. This includes lying to his comrades about the Great War, killing them all with poison, banishing the Victis crew and almost the entire multiverse into the Dark Aether, and having a young girl be the one to end his life. It's made very clear, however, that he couldn't take less pleasure in these actions, and he makes an effort to ensure the Primis and Ultimis crews are happy in their last moments.]]

* TheSoulless: Monty confirms that Primis Richtofen doesn't have a soul during the events of ''Black Ops III''. The others notice at the end of ''Gorod Krovi'' that only their three souls floated into the heavens to the House. Primis Nikolai references a NoodleIncident mentioned in the Kronorium in ''Alpha Omega'' that hints at the cause of this, as well as the first time Primis Richtofen experiened "true suffering." Unfortunately, we never get more clarification than that, and with the GrandFinale, we likely never will.
