General

Farah's blood type is AB+. In her operator bio in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Farah is said to speak "Urzikstani" as her native language. This was changed to "Arabic" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Farah and her forces are inspired by the Women's Protection Units formed during the Syrian civil war. Although Farah is younger than Hadir, she's mentioned to be older in the biographies released prior to the launch of Modern Warfare. A photo of Farah along with Price's can be seen pinned on a bulletin board in Barkov's Estate. Farah appears to have an amiable relationship with fellow Allegiance operator Iskra. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

Following a Season Six update on October 17th, 2023, the "Fighting Spirit" skin is depicted as Farah's default skin, while the Vault Edition skin is renamed to "TF 141 Red Team Farah". The Red Team skin is still named "Farah" in Modern Warfare III.

Hadir Karim

Hadir is Farah's older brother and lieutenant in the Urzikstan Liberation Force. Unbeknownst to her, he had stolen Russian-made chlorine gas following a failed US Marine operation in Kastovia. He is loyal to her, as well, as he helped her destroy Barkov's airbase in Urzikstan. However, after his betrayal, she was determined to find him. Following his capture at the hands of Price and Garrick, and subsequent hand-over to Russia, she knew that the Russians would more than likely kill him.

On December 14th, 2022, Farah encounters Hadir in a Soviet underground bunker, where she alongside Captain Price and Alex Keller was imprisoned by him. The trio then escaped and eventually caught up with Hadir, who was trying to escape by using an elevator, but was stopped by the trio when they destroyed its mechanism, making the elevator fall down.

Farah then came in the elevator, followed by Price and Alex, where she confronted Hadir, who was badly injured, there Hadir told Farah that she had the warhead and that she should use it, Farah then rejected it, saying that she had her ways. Hadir then warns the trio of a new threat that is going to endanger Urzikstan but dies before he can give them the name.

Fatima Karim

While Farah and Fatima were never seen together, it is assumed that they had a loving mother-daughter relationship. Farah was shown to be extremely saddened over her mother's death (as seen in Hometown). After she and her father Walid are reunited, they are both shown to be shocked by Fatima's death.Walid Karim

Walid and Farah had a good father-daughter relationship. After being rescued in Hometown, Walid is extremely overjoyed to see his daughter still alive but is horrified to see Fatima, his wife, and Farah and Hadir's mother, dead. As Farah and Hadir attempt to leave their house to escape to the mountains, J-12 enters their house and points his AK-47 at Walid. Despite Walid begging for J-12 to stop, saying that the only other people in the house were Farah and Hadir, J-12 refuses and continues to point his gun at Walid and his children. Seeing no other option to avoid a fight, Walid throws his backpack at J-12 and the two begin fighting. Hadir attempts to intervene but is knocked unconscious. After J-12 is killed by Farah and Hadir, he says his final goodbye to his children. He tells them to "survive, whatever it takes," and to "never back down" before he passes away from his wounds. Farah is shown to be severely saddened by her father's death, as she starts crying and calls him "daddy." Later, in 2019, Farah mentions her deceased father to Alex, saying that he called Hadir "cabal" (his little lion). Alex asks Farah what happened to her father, but she doesn't say anything except that he died, fighting."

Farah is determined to protect her country and motherland. However she does not use motives that are not moral, such as using chemical methods or affiliating with the enemies, Hadir used these methods and claimed that he is not her brother anymore and tries to kill him for that. She has the same goal that her fellow Urzikstani people have that to free her country that she was raised in. Farah has good capability of defending herself and even going into war to her enemies that she declares greedy and immoralistic. She holds a massive amount of respect and affection for both her country and for her militia, as she has been known to call her militia fighters her "brothers," "sisters," and "cousins". She is not one to argue, although she is somewhat quick to anger, such as when she berates Hadir, and effectively disowns him as a brother, after he used the Russian gas he captured in Verdansk, to defeat Barkov's Forces during Highway of Death, and is later seen, enraged by his actions, screaming for him in anger when Price and Kyle arrive and save her and Alex. She is also willing to sacrifice her own life for her country, as her only goal then was to kill Barkov and save her country from the Russians. She also seems to view women as just as capable in combat as men. She also seems to like dogs, because when Alex says she "has cat-like reflexes" in the mission Embedded, she explains how she's "more of a dog person".

Before leaving, however, he tells Farah that she hasn't saved her people, but instead killed them. Farah then escaped from her cell. After killing a few guards, she makes it to the main cell block, and is greeted by her sisters, Ayah, Azadeh, Darine, Ghalia and Nadia, who are extremely overjoyed and happy that she escaped, before begging her to open the door, which she does. They then grabbed AK-47's and frag grenades before escaping the main prison complex, and reaching the warehouse where Barkov took Hadir. Unfortunately they were ambushed by the Russian Forces before being saved by an SAS squad led by then-Lieutenant John Price. Afterwards, they saved Hadir and left the prison

She either lied by saying "Karim" was "dead," swore at him, told the truth (which he claimed as a lie), or remained silent, after which she was waterboarded. When being asked who was "Karim" again, and she told him the truth Barkov said she was lying to "protect Karim." Barkov then brought one of Farah's female allies, Azadeh into the room, and threatened to execute her if Farah did not tell the truth. After being waterboarded, and if she survived it without passing out, Barkov then asks Farah who was "Karim." Farah can either spit in his face, lie (which both cause Barkov to execute Azadeh in cold blood, despite Farah saying that Azadeh was harmless), or tell the truth, the latter of which saddened Azadeh, causing her to scold Farah for giving up her secret. Azadeh was then dragged away while Barkov pistol whipped Farah in the face and took her back to her prison cell. He then asked if she was hungry and held out a bowl of food, and whether Farah tries accepting it or doesn't do anything, Barkov throws it at the wall in anger and asks her if what she was experiencing "was a game". He then asked Farah where the key that Hadir gave her was.to:

Tell the truth: Barkov says that he already knew Farah had the key. Spit in Barkov's face: Barkov says that he "likes it". Lie: If Azadeh was executed, Farah will say that she had the key. Barkov disapproves of this, saying that Azadeh was checked thoroughly. If Azadeh was spared, Farah will say that Hadir had the key in his cell.face, briefly knocking her down. He then screams in anger and proclaims that Urzikstan "is a breeding ground for terrorists," and that he is there to "bring law and order to this land, and no terrorist theme will harm [his] country" as he starts strangling Farah, before he is interrupted by an explosion, and asks a soldier what is happening, before he is then reminded that they are under attack. He orders his men to take all the prisoners to the warehouse to kill them.

In 1999, when Farah was 7-years-old, Russian forces were present in Urzikstan. Farah and her mother were buried by rubble from a Russian artillery strike, killing the latter. Farah managed to survive and was rescued until the Russians began advancing upon the people of Urzikstan. Being carried by her father to their home to prepare for an escape, Farah and her brother, Hadir, were soon on their own when Russian soldier J-12 broke into their home, murdered their father, and began hunting the children. Farah fought back with sneak attacks using makeshift weapons, eventually killing J-12 with Hadir's aid and taking his gas mask. Farah and Hadir snuck out of their home, evading Russian troopers and attempting to escape via truck. They were then immediately captured by Roman Barkov, the Russian General responsible for invading their homeland, and were taken into his custody to be imprisoned.[3]Life in Prison

Main article: Captive After being captured by the Russians, Farah and Hadir were held as prisoners of war for several years. For them, and for their fellow inmates, life inside prison, and solitary confinement, was harsh. They were not given much water, they were hardly fed, and they were consistently waterboarded for information on "Commander Karim" (who turned out to be Farah but Barkov already knew this).

Whilst imprisoned, she was given a key by Hadir, which (unbeknownst to both of them) opened a weapon locker. Barkov then arrived and mockingly commented on the two having "a family reunion," before Hadir insulted Barkov only to be shocked with a taser. Barkov then ordered his men to take Hadir to a warehouse, while he personally dealt with Farah. After mockingly asking Farah if she was thirsty and wanted any water, Barkov spilled all the water in his canteen to taunt her, before she was then asked who was "Karim."

Impressed by seeing females in combat and leadership roles, wives, mothers, and daughters fight without pay, food or medicine to follow Farah into battle. Farah's modern beliefs have had far-reaching effects, and occupying soldiers often directly hunt and target her. Labeled a terrorist organization by the Russian government for their long-standing resistance, Russian soldiers are ordered to make no distinction between the terror group Al-Qatala and the liberation fighters under Farah's command. AQ terrorists pursue Farah and the U.L.F. with a mandate to kill as well.[2]

Farah's worldview draws a sharp line of demarcation between herself and the enemy. "The enemy has come where they are not welcomed and taking what is not theirs." Farah refuses to stage counter-offensives or launch attacks beyond the borders of her country, believing with all her heart that what distinguishes her from the terrorists and the occupiers are never crossing the line from defender to aggressor. "We are a protective force. We are rescuers, not killers."[2Early life

Farah Ahmed Karim was born on January 25th, 1992[1] in the town of Riyzabbi, Urzikstan, to Walid Karim and Fatima Karim. Her childhood is largely unknown, but it can be assumed that she and her brother Hadir studied at an unknown school.

Background

Farah is a founding member and the commander of the Urzikstan Liberation Force, battling foreign occupation since 2010. She is renowned not only for leading the resistance against enemy troops but also for establishing protective units to combat terror groups throughout Urzikstan. Under Farah's leadership, civilian militias play a critical role in the fight to return their subjugated population to sovereignty. Her forces comprise male and female volunteer fighters with a maximum age limit. Farah does not allow those under the age of 15 to take part in frontline fighting, but anyone and everyone is invited to undergo military training and join her reserves.[2]

To protect her people from owing a debt to the world, Farah accepts only select funding and equipment from the international community, preferring to keep her forces reliant on their own for material support. Raising her army with little more than commandeered weapons and unofficial support from the SAS's legendary Bravo Squadron, Farah says, “Will is the most powerful weapon.” As a girl, in the opening salvos of the invasion, she and her brother Hadir were captured, spending their teens held as P.O.W. by General Roman Barkov's rogue forces where captives were subjected to forced labor, routinely witnessing acts of chemical experimentation on fellow prisoners.[2]In 2009, Farah led an escape, fighting alongside a western aide unit. She vowed then to give her life to free her country from subjugation and chaos. When asked if women can be as effective as men in combat, Farah describes the question as sexist and objectifying.Farah wants to give women their rightful place, not only in combat but in a society free from war. For Farah, war is more than the liberation of land. "We are also fighting to free our people from old-fashioned ways."[2]
