Nikita Dragovich

Nikita Dragovich is the main antagonist in Call of Duty: Black Ops. He is a high-ranking general in the Soviet Red Army and the mastermind behind Project Nova. Dragovich was born on August 10, 1914, in Tsaritsyn, Russia (now Volgograd). He is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Dragovich betrayed and abandoned Viktor Reznov and his squad, leading to their massacre during the Battle of Stalingrad. He also conspired with Lev Kravchenko and Friedrich Steiner to weaponize the biochemical weapon Nova 6 and planned to unleash it across the United States. Dragovich brainwashed Alex Mason through the “numbers program,” turning him into a sleeper agent. Ultimately, Dragovich is killed by Mason at the end of the game. He is regarded as one of the most memorable antagonists in Call of Duty: Black Ops, embodying a cold, ruthless, and cunning military figure.
