Imran Zakhaev (2019)'s History

Imran Zakhaev (Russian: �?м�?ан �?а�?аев) is a character mentioned in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and a minor antagonist in Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Prior to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Described as a "Cold War Hero", Imran Zakhaev was a high-ranking official in the Interior Ministry of the Soviet Union. As such, Zakhaev had access to tunnels, bunker systems but also underground barracks, shelters and silos across the Eastern Bloc.

Imran had high expectations and valued education, insisting his middle son, Victor, to be fluent in Italian, German, English and French. Victor enrolled into a prestigious preparatory school in Verdansk, Kastovia, but was soon expelled following an altercation with a teacher for grabbing the teacher's cane and breaking it to evade his corporal punishment. As a punishment, Imran sent Victor to the Suvo Military School, where his peers were the more austere families of Soviet military personnel.

The introduction of new economic and cultural freedoms in the 80s crippled the USSR as a major world power, much to Imran's dismay. At some point in time, Imran met Perseus, who persuaded him to join his cause and recruited him in his organization. Zakhaev and Perseus planned to bring down the west to restore the image of the Soviet Union. However Imran Zakhaev did not support his ideas and disagreed with the methods of Perseus. He then prevented Perseus from taking control of a facility in Verdansk where a chemical agent called NOVA-4 was produced

Zakhaev, along with Lev Kravchenko, Dimitri Belikov and various other Soviet officials were gathered at a meeting within the KGB headquarters led by Mikhail Gorbachev to discuss a traitor within the KGB. During this meeting, Zakhaev revealed to those during the meeting that he, at the behest of Gorbachev, had access to bunker keys restricted to only General Charkov and that he had ordered the other bunker keys collected. He would later encounter two disguised CIA operatives, Russell Adler and "Bell", in an elevator on the way to a meeting with Commander Sobol. He asked when they had arrived to the base, and which commander they reported to.

Rather than bothering to answer Zakhaev's question, Bell proceeded to hold Zakhaev in a headlock as Adler knocked the Soviet out in the elevator.

Becoming an Ultranationalist, Imran railed against the ensuing privatizations and the spreading of ownership of former state enterprises, but his work was in vain to prevent the new model from spreading across Eastern Europe.

In December 1994, Imran Zakhaev underwent emergency heart bypass surgery and remained in the hospital for months. Victor claimed his father�??s troubles were the manifestations of a broken heart after seeing the Soviet Union fall.

At some point, Zakhaev was almost killed by John Price and MacMillan, two SAS operatives, during a mission in Pripyat.

Zakhaev passed away in 2011. Later, Victor grew disenchanted with modern Russia, and used the remnants of Zakhaev's Loyalist contacts to found Zakhaev Arms, hoping in doing so to gain influence and fulfill Zakhaev's unrealized dream of returning Russia to its former status.
