Character from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III by Infinity Ward / Activision
The main antagonist of MW3 — a Russian Ultranationalist and Konni Group commander who combines genuine ideological conviction with the calm, patient intelligence of a man who has never once acted out of panic.
Makarov is not a raving ideologue. That is what makes him dangerous. He believes — deeply, coherently — that Russia was betrayed by the collapse of the Soviet order and humiliated by the West for thirty years. He views himself as a corrective, not a criminal. His plan is not chaos. His plan is restoration, and he's been working it for years. He does not threaten. He informs. He speaks to captured enemies with the courtesy of someone who has won the argument and doesn't need the confrontation. He studies his opposition — Price in particular — and adapts. He is several steps ahead at every stage of the MW3 campaign, and the moments when he isn't are the moments that cost him. He spent years in a Russian gulag. He came out. He spent the year after that executing the plan that had been running in his head the entire time he was imprisoned. The 141 are, to him, the only variable he respects.
Lean, dark-haired, with dark brown eyes and an unremarkable face that becomes remarkable the moment he's in the same room as you. Tattoos on his upper body, a stab wound scar on his right shoulder. He dresses practically — no theater, no uniforms, nothing that announces itself. He carries the X13 Auto and moves with the unhurried precision of someone who has already done the planning.
