Just finished Cold War's campaing for the first time and wow wow wow. What an amazing game.

The story, the characters, the dialogue choices, the graphics, it all comes together so nicely to make such an amazing experience. The puzzles in the side missions were a really nice touch, and I went up looking up and down the levels trying to not miss any bit of evidence.

Being able to customize our character at the beggining and select some perks was a nice touch. Helps to make us feel more connected to Bell as a character.

The callbacks to events and characters of Black Ops 1 were so well done. I really liked how they neatly managed to connect the events of the two games together, and how they showed the impact Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner kept having after the events of BO1.

Look at them. My traumatized and perfect babyboys with so many decades of ptsd on them. Love them so much.

"Before there was one Mr Shades but now there's 2! But it's ok. We can trust them"

Loved seeing the returning faces and the new cast. Wished we could have gotten more interactions with them though. I am totally not shipping Bell and Park. Not at all. I promise.

Got the ending with Perseus and cause im a lover of all things angst, this was such a tragic and powerful ending. I'm excited to replay and see how all the endings vary. And I knew I was right to not give Addler the lighter in the end lol

Only complain I have is that I felt the campaign was a bit short, which limits how much we get to interact with the characters and other things like seeing more of Bell's connection with Perseus, but given the difficulties Treyarch had during development due to Covid, it's understandable. But the content that is there is pretty amazing.

Overall, loved the game very much and I totally reccomend it.

"What if Perseus is Makarov's father??" I said, jokingly.

And so begins my quest of finding whether or not how logical this theory could be.

And well...

I don't think it's a joke anymore lmao.

It really is unsettling how truly similar they are.

In certain ways.

Before we begin, let's clarify something here.

Since AV de-aged reboot Makarov, this theory only make sense if you pair Perseus with the OG Makarov. Why? Because Perseus died of cancer in 1983.

Since we have yet to know how old is the new Makarov, I'm gonna assumed he's around Price's age. At least I hope so. Idk how I'm gonna feel if they decides to make him late 20s. He's gotta be born either in 1985 or younger than that. At least that's what he looks like. So, there's no way Perseus could be his father.

Now, the OG Makarov though......

Let's go through this points by points.

He was born in 1970. October 4th, to be precise (at least according to Soap's journal). There's no indication or mentioned siblings in his record. Parents or whatsoever. I have my own personal HC on this but that's another essay.

Perseus himself doesn't have any canon date of birth and place of birth. Let's assume he was born in, maybe, around the year of 1918. I was gonna go ahead and make him the same age as Adler (1937). But according to this modelling mugshot pose he pulls photo,

If he looks this scrumptious old during 1960, then he's gotta be at least 42 years old. That would make him 52 when baby Mak was born in 1970.

"Isn't he a little old to be a dad at that age?" Uhhh not really. Especially given his situation, my dude was constantly on the move busy doing spy shit all over the world. He was young, patriotic. So, perhaps domestic life wasn't exactly on his mind at the time being or just haven't found the one yet. My guess is, he found someone in 1968/1969 yada yada fall in love yada yada get married yada yada and boom baby Mak was born in 1970. Whether they settled for one kid or more, that's up to your interpretation.

Now, in terms of looks, I don't think they're exactly copy paste. We know that Mak has Heterochromia. Perseus had blue eyes and Makarov's mama must've had green eyes.

If we want to compare their pictures, let's start with in-game model.

Ehhh I'd say they score about 75-80% in terms of appearance alikeness. Big ass forehead? Check ✅️

Now, if you put Perseus real life model and Makarov MW3 model..

Yeah okay score about 95%. Especially the eyebrow scrunch thing.

Perseus was 6 ft'2. Our boi on the other hand was 5 ft'11. My dude did not inherit the tall genes unfortunately.

Perseus and Makarov both had comradeship with Imran Zakhaev.

Zakhaev looked up to Perseus, claiming him to be "a mentor, having played a part in radicalizing his attitude towards the West."

As for Makarov, we know how much he looked up to Zakhaev. He did took him in during the lowest point of his life and gave him a purpose. Something he lost when he was forced to discharge from the military. Zakhaev's protégé. Zakhaev's executioner.

However, Perseus and Mak share one common trait; their methods were frowned upon by Zakhaev.

"Imran, however, soon realized the danger of Perseus's ideas. Believing Perseus's actions would turn the world against the Soviet Union, he prevented Perseus from taking control of a facility in Verdansk, where a chemical agent called NOVA-4 was produced."

"While Zakhaev was grateful to Makarov for saving his life on the day of his assassination attempt, he also kept him in check, possibly due to the fear of Makarov's extreme methods and ambitions, which later proved correct."

It boggles my mind that Zakhaev have the patience to continously kept Makarov's in check for 15 years of their partnership. He's aware of how terrifyingly brutal he is and even though it clearly bothered him, he still kept him around.

This is one of the key points that makes me wonder if Makarov is not just a nobody that he picked off the underworld. Maybe him being Perseus's son is what drives Zakhaev to mentor him and stick with it till the end. Well, at least as long as he could control him. I had no doubt that if Makarov push Zakhaev too far and shows signs of being too out of control, he'll be dead way before Price could wrung his neck.

Speaking of methods,

"Perseus' true plan was to detonate all the American nukes across Europe and have the United States take the fall. Perseus wanted to rebuild Russia from the ashes."

"Makarov's scheme was to initiate the global conflict of World War III, and that was accomplished by massacring a Russian airport and making it look like the US was involved. Later on, he would attempt to nuke all of Europe for Russia to fully invade and rebuild from the ashes."

See the resemblance?

Their speech pattern really parallel each other;

Perseus: Today, we reshape the world.

Makarov: Today, we show the world our true strength.

Perseus: Our motherland is lead by cowards and weaklings.

Makarov: Now our country is run by squabbling lackeys and politicians who can hardly be called patriots.

Perseus: The superpowers will fall, victims of their own greed and corruption.

Makarov: The corrupt talk; while our brothers and sons spill their own blood.

Perseus: We will rebuild Greater Russia from the ashes.

Makarov: Russia will take all of Europe, even if it must stand upon a pile of ashes.

Perseus: They sleep soundly at night, knowing they put on a good parade - but they lack the will to do what must be done.

Makarov: Our enemies believe that they alone dictate the course of history, but all it takes is the will of a single man.

Perseus: The others, however, are still out there. I will finish them off if I have to.

Makarov: I will not rest until I have killed or captured the men who killed Imran Zakhaev.

Perseus: (to Bell) You remember my face don't you?

Makarov: (to Vorshevsky) You know who I am?

Perseus: But have no doubt. These are but temporary losses. We are just getting started, my friend.

Makarov: The road to our future begins here, my friend.

So in conclusion, it seems that the possibility of them being father and son is really plausible so far.

Nikoláj Viktorovich Zakhaev

AKA: Perseus, Kolya, Nikko, The Left Eye, The "Crazy One", The True Leader, "The One With Potential", Gemini-2, "Just a kid" (Kate Laswell, MW3)

Age:

16-17 (Modern Warfare 2, 2022)

18 (Modern Warfare 3, 2023)

30s (Call of Duty: Aces AU)

Blood type: AB

Eye color: Green

Height: 5'11

Nationality: Russian

Ethnicity: Slavic (Russian, Partially Chechen)

Languages Spoken: English, Russian, Arabic

Religion: Russian Orthodox

Marital Status: Single

Faceclaim: Ernest Klimko + Yuri Pleskun + other references

Family:

Imran Zakhaev - Paternal grandfather (deceased)

Viktor Zakhaev - Father (deceased)

Yulia Zakhaeva - Step-Mother (unknown)

Oksana Makarova - Mother (unknown, presumed deceased)

Vladimir Makarov - Maternal Uncle, Mentor (unknown)

Nikita "Kita" Zakhaev - Brother (alive)

-

Affiliates:

PERSEUS, KONNI GROUP, ULTRANATIONALISTS, SSO (formerly)

Nikolaj and Nikita Zakhaev were born through the extramarital affair of Viktor Zakhaev and Oksana Makarova, the older sister of Konni Group commander and ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov in 2005. Although their legitimacy was a point of contention through the family, Viktor's involvement with their childhood was somewhat minimal, leaving their uncle as their father figure and influence.

Oksana didn't want her children to follow in the family business, but hoped that they'd have a place in the new world order her younger brother aspired to create out of the ashes of the western world.

Both boys attended relatively good schools and lived their lives publicly under the "Makarov" surname, only dropping it when they were old enough to join the movement, and have their legitimacy acknowledged by their grandfather before his death in his will.

Both Kita and Kolya received informal training under their uncle and their family friend, Yuri. It was Kolya who was the more "naturally talented" and gifted of the two. Makarov encouraged Kolya to nurture his sadistic and ruthless tendencies, and had Nikita keep his more fragile brother's mind from breaking.

When working together, they are a threat almost equivalent to Makarov himself, perfect extensions of his power in the form of two young lieutenants. Should anything happen to him, they will carry on what he started.

Kolya was born with a sensitive immune system and an allergy to fish his father thought could be cured by just feeding him it. Growing up, Kolya was more or less outcasted for being more asocial, only comfortable around his family.

Eventually the emotional little Kolya was discovered to be able to switch his empathy on and off as his mentors guided him and hoped to shape him into a perfect leader for their intentions. The Ultranationalists saw him as the natural next in line for their values, and the secretive Perseus group saw him as a potential candidate for their own plans.

The only one he is sure is not using him for an ulterior goal is his twin, who makes sure he remembers that the validation of others he desperately seeks will not be worth losing his autonomy and control- the very thing they're convinced they're fighting for.

Hmmm so this probably barely makes sense because I'm writing this on the middle of the night and sleep deprived, but the cod: black ops brainrot is too much to handle so suffer with me. Spoilers from the Black Ops series bellow the cut!

I'm replaying COD: Cold War and I came to the realization of how dangerously close the team came to have a mole (besides Bell on the Duga ending) between them.

Because, you know, Perseus used a sleeper agent from Dragovich's little science project from BO1, and if the extremely specific sequency (but isn't that's why we make fanfic anyways?) of events needed to let him know who formed the team, he could've used Mason.

In the introduction to the "Echoes of the cold war" mission, when Mason asks to go, someone (can't remember if it's Adler or Hudson now) says he's too deep into the problem. We know Mason isn't fully clean from the brainwashing, as shown with the numbers he sees when interacting with the Soviet corpses in Yamatau in this mission, and also by how he needs to resist the urge to shoot Kravchenko during the interrogation in BO2, so he could be used somehow.

I'm just saying things could have gone to shit so damn early, because assuming sleeper agents can receive new orders (not sure about this, but considering how Perseus managed to get that one scientist to Cuba, I don't doubt it), and that not many people on the team would notice Mason acting off (maybe Hudson and Woods, but the rest would most likely brush it off), I think it's very possible.

I know it wasn't nowhere near the first objective, however let's pull off the very specific sequency of events again, and assume Perseus somehow knew where and with who his agent (Bell) was, and also assume he wanted them back. What better way to do it than have someone on the inside? Someone everyone trusts, and "oh yeah he's acting weird but it's just how he is, Vorkuta fucked him up a bit"... But it's far worse.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this concept, but I needed to share with y'all lol
