COD Zombies REDUX

When Zykov entered the Dark Aether, over forty years of corruption, he would be transformed into a monstrous, malignant Elder God. With this new stage in his life, he named himself as The Forsaken, in reference to his abandonment by Lazarev. As his power in the Dark Aether grew, so too did his ambition. The Forsaken himself shifted the power structure of the dimension from a series of quarreling Old Ones (the then ruling power of the realm) to a unified force under his will. The Forsaken would consume many of the Old Ones and enslaving the others, as well as enslaving the Disciples of an entity named Sparagmos. He would come to be worshiped as an Elder God, and his reign went unquestioned. Among the forces added to the Forsaken's army were German task-force Baldr, sent to the Dark Aether by Projekt Endstation as part of a contingency plan in case of the Reich's defeat in World War II. While the initial plan was to send the team to return to Germany to make way for a New Reich, Baldr soon came under the influence of the Forsaken, who manipulated them to further his own agendas. With collaboration of Mephistopheles And the High Priests of Chaos he shares control over the zombies with them

Mephistopheles has red skin, with glowing demonic symbols, three on his chest, and one on each shoulder. He also appears to have tentacle-like wings with the words, "Kneel before me and despair" written in symbols. He also has a six pack and wears a brown undergarment. His eyes and mouth appear to be glowing in a similar fashion to his symbols, and he is surrounded by an aura of what appears to be fire. Just like a stereotypical devil, he has horns. He also is capable of changing his shape at will, as demonstrated by his appearance as a humanoid figure with curly hair, similar in size and shape to Lee Ross and as Pam Grier to show the four actors that they are only in a manifestation made by him of the theater. He has shared control over the zombies with the Forsaken and the High Priests of Chaos

At some point before 500 B.C, the Priest was born and founded an early version of The Order after being, at some point, killed and revived using the Scepter of Ra. This iteration of the Order had notably more members than the one that he would form later in the 1900s. Using a colosseum in Roman-occupied Egypt, the High Priest used enslaved gladiators in an attempt to complete the Trial and access the location of the Library of the Nine without putting himself or other members of the Order in danger. Sometime in 500 B.C, during one of the many attempts to complete the Trial, a group of contestants managed to complete the trial, defeating both Fury and Wrath, who guarded the knowledge of the Library. After the contestants completed the trial, one of the slaves revealed knowledge of the "Novum Ignotum", which dictated that the Priest must grant them clemency. The Priest then realized that these contestants, who should not even know about such texts, were not who the Priest originally thought they were. In realizing this, he had the slaves beheaded.
When Samantha Maxis came into the picture they didn't really do much they just hid throughout her time and when all the stuff blow over they made a deal with Mephistopheles And the forsaken to have control over the zombies along with a shared form with them

The Dark Aether has, according to its inhabitants, existed "since the beginning of time", and the various factions within have been at perpetual war for that duration. In scope, it is, in some sense, a mirror of the real universe, as it also contains several other planets that are present in the real world's Solar System like Saturn and Mars - albeit with some key differences, noticeably the skybox being constantly cloudy with purple etherial smoke and always being the equivalent of night time. A very noticeable byproduct of the existence of the Dark Aether lies in the fact that all the stories that have ever been told by mortals - be it fiction or not - eventually manifest within the Dark Aether, gaining shape and sentience. Life exists throughout the realm, not only limited to Earth - Kortifex the Deathless, for example, was born on a world other than earth, and Zykov the Forsaken mentions having subjugated other worlds in his conquest. Other beings, such as the Shadowsmiths, have inhabited the Dark Aether since its very inception, and are able to mold space as they see fit. The Dark Aether is composed of "memories", i.e. every living creature that has and ever will be consumed by the Dark Aether will eventually have its essence re-used to shape new life within the same space - in some sense, it is a fantastical form of nucleosynthesis.

In the Dark Aether, time does not pass in the way that it does in the real world. The first recorded example was when Samantha Maxis returned from the Dark Aether into the real world after having spent roughly 48 hours in it, though by her account she stated she had spent several months; this is also the case with Kazimir Zykov, who had spent 40 years in the Dark Aether by real world time standards, but claimed had spent 400 Dark Aether years within. If they are powerful enough, certain entities that live within it are able to travel and abduct people - and even entire locations - from both the real world and alternate realities, and transport them into the Dark Aether.

Another thing about the aether is it's been spreading throughout multiverses and combining multiverses into this one big multiverse that has zombies basically pouring zombies into multiverses Over time the athir will grow and on day 25 of being in it the aether spreads to Earth and takes over its atmosphere then the moon then the entire solar system

Without Samantha Maxus being the one who controls the zombies even though she formerly dead there are now three people in charge one being a group the other just being two deities The group being the "High Priests of Chaos" The two deities being forsaken and Mephistopheles We'll get into depth with these two and the group later all them sharing a good control Over the zombies

Klaus is a robot created by Elizabeth Grey that is capable of long-ranged and hand-to-hand combat. According to his blueprint, Klaus appears to have some sort of consciousness, but lacks an understanding of human fragility. According to Grey, however, Klaus is not yet ready for actual combat scenarios.

At one point, Klaus went missing, prompting Grey to send a message asking for his whereabouts. Grigori Weaver intercepted the message, explaining that the Director of Requiem himself pulled Klaus out of Research and Development to be deployed in Berlin where he is collected by a CIA safehouse. The Director secretly reprogrammed Klaus to eliminate the agents from the safehouse, Bedard, James and Jack, who intercepted a classified communique regarding "Project Janus".

Later, while the Requiem Strike Team was deployed by Lev Kravchenko to Berlin to investigate Aleksandra Valentina's activity, they stumbled upon Klaus, confined to a chair within the safehouse. The operators reactivated Klaus and had him support them throughout their entire mission, including assembling a mini-Aetherium warhead and defeating a corrupted Valentina. With the Dark Aether portal still open, Klaus was assigned to carry the warhead into it to shut the portal down, preventing the Forsaken from crossing over. Klaus then walked into the portal, having presumably died from the resulting detonation.

Following this, Richtofen ordered the Research and Development staff of Project Janus to create a Klaus Assembly Lab within the Project Janus Headquarters in Liberty Falls, which sought to create two hostile variants of Klaus: Uber Klaus and Kommando Klaus. Copies of these variants would go rogue shortly after the zombie incursion in Liberty Falls and kill the Project Janus security personnel stationed at the Headquarters.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Aether, it was revealed that Klaus had somehow survived the detonation, but was subsequently imprisoned in one of the jail cells of Ashwood, where he was restrained to a chair and malfunctioning. During their mission to defy the Warden and reclaim their souls, the Dark Aether/Requiem crews found him, restored him, and subsequently partnered with him to help them defeat the Shadowsmith of said area - an entity known as Veytharion.

On November 5th, 1983, the CIA "Office of Requiem" was formed. Along with Mackenzie Carver and Oskar Strauss, Grey would be recruited into their ranks. She would be drafted into the group by the British government to serve as their representative while she served as Requiem's Head of Unnatural Sciences.

After she arrived in the new universe with no memory of what occurred in the universe before, Samantha Maxis grew up in West Germany in an orphanage. In 1973, she graduated from the Heidelberg University with a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics and a minor in linguistics. Becoming fluent in English, French, and Russian, Maxis was recruited by the Western Federal Intelligence Service the very next year.

On November 5th, 1983, a meeting was held by top U.S. officials regarding "Outbreak Zones" caused by the re-activation of an old Nazi particle accelerator in Morasko, Poland by the Soviet Spetsnaz group known as Omega. This meeting would lead to the creation of the CIA Office of Requiem, an American staffed but internationally staffed organization dedicated to analyzing and containing this new threat. the Director of Requiem, personally selected Weaver to work as the Special Officer for Requiem's Field Operations division, despite some internal pushback due to Weaver's previous designation as an enemy of the state during Operation Charybdis. Weaver would come to work alongside Containment and Security lead Major Mackenzie Carver, Unnatural Sciences lead Doctor Elizabeth Grey, and Energy Research lead Doctor Oskar Strauss as part of Requiem's Senior Staff. Unbeknownst to Weaver, this was part of Richtofen's revenge plan, as he created Requiem to keep a close eye on the former.

At some point in time, Willard Wyler offered Elvira a role in one of his films. What she didn't know was that he was speaking literally. Ever since, she has been trapped in Attack of the Radioactive Thing, serving as hostess for the movie. In the map, she is an ally to Andre Wright, Aaron "A.J." Jordaniels, Sally Simpson and Poindexter Zittermann, helping them gain access to the Pack-a-Punch Machine using her spell book, as well as taking the role of Demonic Announcer away from Willard Wyler. She will announce whenever the player obtains a power-up, and bring color to the film once a certain portion of the map is opened, both of which give her a scolding from Wyler.

At some point in time, Pam was trapped within Willard Wyler's film Shaolin Shuffle, Within the film, she plays the role of a martials art master of the Black Cat dojo. She also broadcasts music and encourages the survivors within the film to join her at the dojo to fight against the undead hordes. Eventually, four actors named Andre Wright, Aaron "A.J." Jordaniels, Sally Simpson and Poindexter Zittermann end up in the film as well. There, they find Pam within the Black Cat Dojo meditating. After talking with her after round five, she will allow the players to being training with the Chi abilities. After the actors reach the first rank in their Chi abilities, she informs them about a rat on the streets, which they find in a cage. After freeing it and eventually defeating the Rat King for the first time, they acquire the Rat King's eye and eventually his brain and heart after two more fights. After defeating the Rat King for the third time, Pam decides it is time to end it all with the rats. Traveling to the Rat King's lair in the sewers beneath the city, they confront the Rat King. After a long fight, the actors manage to defeat the Rat King, with Pam giving the final blow by stabbing the Rat King in his heart with her katana. With the Rat King dead, she rewards them with her katana before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, saying "Namaste". Later on after the four actors real to what seems to be the outside world and banish Willard Wyler into Zombies in Spaceland, they are confronted by Mephistopheles, who first has the appearance of a shadowy figure before taking on the form of Pam Grier, where he reminds them in this form that the reason they are still in the theater is because they told Pam back in Shaolin Shuffle that they all wanted to go back to the theater. After ordering them to bow down to him, Mephistopheles goes from his Pam Grier form to his true form and battles the four actors.

Since childhood, Kevin Smith and his best friend Jason Mewes were fans of Willard Wyler's films. As they made their way into Hollywood, Kevin sought to do sequels and remakes of Wyler's films, while Jay only wished to be part of "the Wyler legacy". One day, both Kevin and Jay were invited to Wyler's private theater to watch exclusive footage of Wyler's film. However, they were greeted by an angry Wyler who claimed that they were ruining the legacy of his films. Both of them were then sent inside Rave in the Redwoods. Kevin was immediately transformed into a masked killer known as the Slasher, and killed Jason without any memory of his deed afterwards. Kevin isolated himself by staying on Turtle Island, where he finds a safe spot to hide from the zombie hordes. Various people would be sent into the film by Wyler, all of whom met their gruesome demise at the hands of the Slasher. At some points, four actors: Andre, A.J., Sally and Poindexter arrived in the film after having just survived Zombies in Spaceland. Though Kevin initially agrees to help the actors escape the film, eventually he recovers his memories and realizes that he was the one who killed Jason. Kevin transforms into the Super Slasher and attacks the four actors, but is eventually defeated. With his death, he drops a piece of the Soul Key as he sinks into the ground in a fiery blaze.

Hasselhoff was trapped in the Spaceland movie by Willard Wyler for some unknown amount of time, as he has to relive his iconic role from the Knight Rider series, Michael Knight. When four actors arrive in the film, Hasselhoff attempts to assist them by giving hints as to how they can progress, and also provides assistance occasionally in fighting the zombies.

Andre Wright was born in South Bronx, and was raised only by his mother. Like other children his age, Andre sought to make a name for himself and get away from the ghetto life, but rather than boosting his "street cred", he focused on theater and entertainment, choosing to pursue the stage. He started down this path by joining a local organization called the Bridges Society. When Andre reached the age of 10, he landed his first acting role in a small off-Broadway show, which catapulted his career to appearances in commercials and sitcoms as background characters, eventually leading him to a role in the soap opera "Beverly Hills Hospital". He would be quickly known as "TV's bad boy" and would be adored by fans all over. When Willard Wyler attempted to offer him a role in his new movie, Andre admitted to only have seen a few of his films, and has heard occasional rumors, but Wyler dismissed them, and managed to convince him to be part of his project, which would be "child's play" for Andre.

Willard made a deal with Mephistopheles, and sold his soul, in exchange for the ability to trap others in his own movies, so that they become victims to the monsters within the films. Two of the earliest victims under Willard's hands were the director-actor duo Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, who were criticized by Willard for ruining the legacy of his films. They were trapped inside one of Willard's films, Rave in the Redwoods, with Kevin being turned into a chainsaw-wielding Slasher, and Jason being his first victim. As time went on, Willard would often send those who defied his will into Rave, to let them be killed either by zombies or the Slasher. When Winona became an adult, she fell in love with Matthew Mason, who was at the time working for Willard. Willard himself didn't approve of the relationship, but let Matthew marry her on the condition that he hyphenate his last name with Wyler's, so that his grandchildren can continue his legacy. Sometime after Winona and Matthew were married, Willard's film company started to go under. He refused to sell it to anyone else, so Winona decided to go her own way and start her own film company with Matthew. When Winona told her father, he was furious, accusing her and Matthew of betraying him. He then transported the two into Rave, where they are killed by the Slasher. He covered up their deaths by claiming that they died in an unrecovered plane crash off the coast of Bora Bora in one of his private jets. While under the influence of Mephistopheles, Willard still remained some part of his former self, feeling guilt and regret because of his actions. Through Mephistopheles, Willard attempted to recruit actors to take part in his movies, hoping that someone would eventually be able to defeat Mephistopheles' influence, and release Willard from his state. Among them were David Hasselhoff, Kevin Smith, who entered the film alongside Jason Mewes, Pam Grier, and Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, who sometimes takes over as announcer, for which Wyler occasionally berates her and cautions her to abide by his rules. Willard dubbed these celebrities as the 'original four'; however, they all failed to work together, and were trapped in four separate movies: Hasselhoff within Zombies in Spaceland, Kevin in Rave in the Redwoods, Pam in Shaolin Shuffle, and Elvira in Attack of the Radioactive Thing. Eventually, Willard looked into the profiles of four young actors: Andre Wright, Sally Simpson, Poindexter Zittermann and Aaron "A.J." Jordaniels, all of whom he deemed worthy to save him from his prison.

Sally Simpson was a TV star since a very young age, taking part in the reality TV series "Growing Up with the Simpsons" centered around her entire family. Her father is a jazz musician who is infamous for having various mistresses, and her mother is also a veteran actor who spends more time on her career than her family. After the show ended, Sally ventured to make her own path in Hollywood. However, her career is overshadowed by those of her parents, as she is constantly bombarded by questions about them rather than her own pursuits and passions. She was desperate to become famous on her own terms somehow, and agreed to take part in Willard Wyler's latest film, despite not having watched any of his previous works.

Poindexter grew up under the care of his father, a particle physicist, and a mother who is a drunkard. In his childhood, he was obsessed with "comic books, video games, Saturday morning cartoons, and every film that Willard Wyler had ever released". In his senior high school year, Poindexter was forced to register in the Drama class for graduation; this would however lead to him being cast in a class play in a role that would catapult him to success. Poindexter eventually became successful as he moved to New York City in pursuit of an acting career, eventually becoming a "staple on Broadway". Upon hearing about an opportunity to be part of Wyler's next film, he immediately agreed and joined three other actors: Andre Wright, Sally Simpson and Aaron "A.J." Jordaniels to meet up at Wyler's theater.

Aaron Jordaniels was born in Los Angeles, and is the son of two famous athletes. His mother is a retired tennis professional, while his father is a world-class surfer. With his parents' genes, A.J. proved to be an excellent athlete himself throughout his years in high school. However, rather than pursuing a career as an athlete, A.J. chose to follow the limelight, and became famous as a TV drama star, known in teen series such as "Werewolf Poets" and "High School Hunger".

After his character was killed off in "High School Hunger", A.J. sought to appear in the big screen, to prove to the world he has more than just his good looks. This allowed Willard Wyler to convince him to take part in his latest movie.

Diego is very quick to brag about his many adventures. He holds himself in very high regard and isn't afraid to let others know, boasting that hiding a face like his "would be a crime.". Diego holds attraction towards Scarlett, and is constantly complimenting her. Scarlett does not reciprocate these feelings however, and thinks of Diego as an idiot. Diego often wonders why Scarlett is so "stuck-up" compared to her father. Diego considers Shaw to be extremely amusing; he often misunderstands Shaw's broken Spanish as being completely literal, making him laugh. Despite this, he does show respect to Shaw, although he doubts his ability to fight. Diego has some amount of respect for Bruno, often offering to "team up" and form an alliance between the two in order to ensure their survival. Bruno however never returns the respect and often insults Diego, calling him "Mon petit Mexican". He is also seemingly the only one to worry about normal people. Sometimes remarking on the passangers of the ship for example.

Bruno harbors a large amount of guilt for actions of his past. According to himself he has spilled so much blood that he feared he would drown in it. He seems to hate having to resort to violence but considers it necessary to survive. Bruno seems to have a special relationship with Shaw. The two appear to be good friends who both have a good amount of respect for each other. Bruno also has a large amount of respect for Scarlett, much of which can be attributed to her father as well, though she distrusts him. Bruno however hates Diego. Much like the others, Bruno considers Diego to be annoying and extremely egotistical.

Shaw falls into the trope of the "mad scientist". He is a very intelligent and a skilled chemist, claiming he's on fire every other week and wishing he could get samples from Catalysts. Shaw holds an enormous amount of respect for Scarlett, as well as her father, Alistair. He views Scarlett as the leader of the crew, though she quickly gets irritated by his use of his "medicine" (painkillers). Shaw and Bruno both seem to have a large amount of respect for the other and look out for one another. Shaw is considered by Diego to be extremely amusing, this is mostly caused by misunderstandings on Diego's part. Due to his unstable mental state and old age, others tend to think Shaw as a liability. For example, Diego doubts his ability to fight, and Bruno offers protection. Nonetheless, Shaw proves himself by offering his knowledge and surviving through various Trials. Others often remark how well Shaw performs for his age.

Scarlett is headstrong and assertive, dedicated to finding her father. She is also a highly competent inventor, creating various devices to aid her in her quest such as the Ballistic Shield among others. While she cares about her teammates, she is easily aggravated by their antics. While Scarlett finds Shaw's "medicinal habits" to be annoying, she does seem to like her "Uncle Shaw", who once took care of her. Scarlett also holds respect towards Bruno. However, like most of the rest of the crew, she highly dislikes Diego (especially because of his constant flirting towards her).

Russman seems to despise Marlton greatly, which is a mutual contempt. He pities Samuel and often gives support, though Russman occasionally calls out to him when ammunition runs dry. Russman likewise doesn't seem to have much respect for Misty, although they knew each other before the outbreak started. He is a very spiritual person, as he believes the Mystery Box to be the work of the devil (often calling it a "Devil Box" in anger), while conversely, he believes the Pack-a-Punch Machine to be the work of the angel (calling it an "Angel Machine"). He is pessimistic and grumpy a lot of the time, suffers from memory loss on occasion, and sometimes refers to himself in the third person. Russman also appears to be fond of explosives, particularly the War Machine. However, Russman holds a high disdain for sniper rifles. Likely it is because of his hate for Marlton, who is very fond of sniper rifles, or perhaps the fact that explosive-launching weapons are incredibly different from sniper rifles. As well, he has a liking for some pistols, particularly the Five-Seven and the Remington New Model Army, which is slightly similar to Samuel Stuhlinger, who also favours the Five-Seven.

Samuel is incredibly paranoid and seems to be a conspiracy theorist. He is frustrated with the lack of explanations to the events that occur and so he creates his own theories, often involving aliens or government cover-ups. Riddled with guilt due to his history of cannibalism, Samuel does not like to talk about himself around the others out of fear that they will either kill him or abandon him if they knew his secret. Samuel hates Misty and dislikes Marlton, but likes Russman.

Misty is very much a tomboy. Brash and self-satisfied, thinking very highly of herself and her record as a knife fighting champion. She despises Stuhlinger, who returns this sentiment, although there are hints that Stuhlinger might secretly harbor feelings of attraction towards her. A few of her quotes in Die Rise also show she dislikes Russman. She is great friends Marlton (who returns the favor) and relies on his intelligence with regards to weapons and crafted items. She has bad memories associated with her past and tries to suppress any thoughts about them, keeping herself occupied by killing zombies.

Marlton favors using a larger, advanced vocabulary, and thinks of himself as mentally superior to the others. He is often pedantic and smug although quite self-conscious. Marlton is very knowledgeable about weapons, often reeling off facts and critiques on the guns he acquires from the Mystery Box (though he seems to have a dislike of most of them). Marlton suffers from claustrophobia, which is the fear of having no escape and being closed in small spaces or rooms; as well as mysophobia and germaphobia, which is the fear of contamination and germs respectively. Marlton likes Misty, however he dislikes Samuel, and despises Russman even more, which is reciprocated by him. However, his hatred for Russman only goes so far, as he is above refusing help from him when he is downed or swarmed, and is even willing to help Russman remember his past when he loses his memory, as the Buried cutscene shows. He has a strong emotional attachment to Misty and often compliments her. Misty has a crush on Marlton, and he reciprocates those feelings despite claiming he feels no emotion, and explains that he has a special relationship with her. In the comics, Marlton seems to be more emotionally attached to her and her safety, such as immediately aiming his gun at Stuhlinger when the man pushes her and calling out her name after witnessing her fall into a hole created by a zombie. Though he suffers from his phobias, he seems to not be fazed by Misty's touches when Misty cups his chin and gets close to his face. Later on in the comics, he ends up placing a hand on her shoulder, giving her a smile.

Takeo's personality remained largely unchanged compared to his Ultimis counterpart, but his beliefs in honor and discipline were stronger, as he has not yet been heavily exposed to the schizophrenic, and largely dishonourable, Richtofen, unlike his original counterpart. He came from a noble family who is close to the Emperor's household. He didn't trust his comrades and believed that their failures bring great dishonor and shame to their ancestors, but he respected them if they fight well, and tolerated Richtofen, considering he does not have much combat experience. He believed that the machines used by the Germans were abominations and must be destroyed. When Samantha is heard talking, he remained suspicious of her but will continue to help her escape from Agartha nonetheless. After becoming aware of the future events of a timeline different from their own, he and the others have grown to trust each other and decided to work together to aid Richtofen in his plan. He expresses the same feeling of changing the future alongside Tank and Nikolai, but when the future was erased by Richtofen when he killed his future self, he changed his opinion and agreed to continue fighting for a better tomorrow, even though he doesn't speak much of it. However, in late rounds of The Giant and Der Eisendrache, Takeo talks about honor more and his loyalty to the emperor of Japan and if playing on co-op he starts distinguishing himself from the others; this is due to exposure to element 115, thus, resulting in his original personality mixing with his younger version. However, by the end of Zetsubou No Shima, Takeo regains his normal mindset and did not speak of the treacherous Emperor once more and gained high respect for Richtofen.

Basically all the people that I've mentioned are groups for example there are two Richthofen's one Primus one Ultimis You can tell the differences between them because of their design and their personality for example Ultimis Richtofen looks like a Nazi Whilst the Primis Richtofen looks more like a German medic in World War One But then there's also people that aren't duplicates like victis, 63, Chaos Group, Actors along with Requiem The following of these groups besides Ultimis and Primis are followed
Victis: Marling, Stuhlinger, Russman, Misty.
63: Michael "Finn" O'Leary, Billy Handsome, Salvatore "Sal" DeLuca, Albert "Weasel" Arlington, Floyd Campbell, Jack Vincent, Jessica Rose, Nero Blackstone.
Chaos Group: Scarlett Rhodes, Bruno Delacroix, Diego Necalli, Stanton Shaw.
Actors: AJ, Poindexter Zittiman, Sally Simpson, Andre Wright, Willard Wyler, David Hasselhoff, Kevin Smith, Pam Grier, Elvira.
Requiem: Weaver, Samantha Maxis, Klaus, Grey.

Group 935 was involved in developing most of the Perk-a-Colas, particularly Juggernog, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Double Tap, Deadshot Daiquiri and Mule Kick. According to the timeline, Doctor Monty helped Group 935 make the perks, and he himself has a factory that manufactures perks. Upon studying Group 935's elixir research, the Ascension group also developed the perks PhD Flopper and Stamin-Up. Similarly, Widow's Wine is developed by Division 9 based on their research into the 115 infused Spiders.
Along with the researches of element 115 Group 935 were able to find blueprints of a machine known as the Pack-A-Punch The pack a punch also being great for upgrading weapons with a 5000 Point Worth it is worth getting an upgraded weapon from here 'cause you might need it There are three tiers And the more you upgrade them the more powerful they get

Takeo tended to distinguish himself from Nikolai and Dempsey, due to their lack of intellect. He liked to see himself upon the mental level of Richtofen, however, Richtofen would not return the same feeling. He stayed vigilant by his suspicions for Richtofen. He was very quiet and wouldn't talk unless necessary. His relationship with Richtofen came to end at his grand scheme as he swore to annihilate him along with the rest of Group 935. Before Richtofen took control of the Aether, he considered him as a high quality combatant, however he was not very fond of Dempsey, and disliked Nikolai with hatred who returns the same feeling.

Due to his alcoholism not yet acquired, Primis Nikolai's personality was completely different from that of his Ultimis self. He was intelligent and got along with and tried to cooperate with his comrades; although did not hold himself in high esteem. He was willing to give his life for the greater good, humble and has a high survival instinct, while also maintaining an enjoyment in life. Unlike his Ultimis self, his opinions on the other three varied depending on how well they fought, he disliked Takeo and Dempsey if they fought poorly, and respected them if they fight well. However he hated Richtofen if he fought poorly and tolerated him if he fought well. When Samantha began to speak, he was the most concerned for her safety and wished to attempt to save her more than the other three. He was a proud revolutionist and supporter of Communism who did not wish for medals or glory. He also worried and feared the damage they can do when teleported into the future, but relents as he needed to make sure future events don't happen. However, as the journey continues, he starts to frustrate with seemingly endless battle against zombies and Richtofen's uncertain "plan" he is forced to follow. In Revelations, Nikolai blames Richtofen for the events that transpire, but nonetheless follows along in defeating the Shadowman once and for all. In another cycle after the events of Zetsubou no Shima, in Blood of the Dead, Nikolai's frustration reaches the peak and he attempts to convince his teammates to help murder Richtofen, which both Dempsey and Takeo strongly opposes. This frustration subsides after being given the Kronorium by the Richtofen that fought in the Great War, where Nikolai puts aside his feelings towards Richtofen to ensure a better tomorrow. In Tag der Toten, Nikolai's personality drastically changes between the intro and gameplay to being cheerful and optimistic to both his friends and Victis, to being sorrowful and depressed in the end. Nikolai clearly shows regret and sorrow for having to kill his friends, but continues to do so, as he puts the lives of the children as well as the uncorrupted universe to come before the ones he loves.

Nikolai seemed to lack intelligence as revealed from various amount of quotes. He tended to crack weird, yet funny, jokes, intentionally and unintentionally. He seemed to not care about his physical appearance and smell, but only ever cared about Vodka. However, at the darkest of times, he could also be vigilant and appeared to have a very keen survival instinct. He liked Dempsey, and tended to despise as well as appreciate Richtofen at times (until Moon), but held a deep hatred for Takeo and monkeys.

Compared to his Ultimis self, Primis Dempsey is much more focused on the mission. When playing on solo, he updates his situation with field reports. While his attitude still remains vulgar, he now shows less aggressiveness and profanity, and is more inclined to use other weapons as well. As he never encountered Richtofen before and was just briefed about him, but as the journey continues, he grows suspicious about his intention. However, the relation becomes less tense after the event of Der Eisendrache. He remains neutral with Nikolai and Takeo, and tries to calm them down when they are upset.

Ultimis Dempsey is a stereotypical United States Marine who is brash and self-satisfied. He thought highly of himself and his country, such as having a preference of using American made weapons. His narcissistic attitude, along with his tendency to break the fourth wall, was often used as comedic relief. He had a trend of using derogatory terms to refer to the Zombies such as "freakbags" and "maggot-sack". He was also adamant on trying to figure out how he knew Richtofen before the events of Shi No Numa, as he was always suspicious of him. He despised Richtofen, liked Takeo and had mutual feelings towards Nikolai.

With his sanity intact, Richtofen's personality is completely different from his Ultimis counterpart. He appears level-headed but paranoid possibly due to exposure to Element 115 in France. He appears more unskilled due to only being a field scientist and does not go into battle often, but attempts to keep focused nevertheless. He appears more fearful of the zombies and is more cautious for his own survival.

After some time staying in the House, Richtofen becomes more cheerful as evident when greeting Victis. However, throughout his journey in acquiring the souls for the Summoning Key, Richtofen takes on a more serious, grim personality, rarely ever smiling or cracking jokes. His sudden acquisition of knowledge from the Kronorium, along with repeated dimensional traveling, also made him mentally unstable at times, repeating phrases throughout and misremembering events. He makes attempts to comfort the others after their respective souls are secured, showing a much more human and empathic side than his Ultimis counterpart.

However, it becomes apparent in Blood of the Dead that, most likely due to dimensional bleeding, the Ultimis personality has an influence, as a good amount of Richtofen's quotes are very reminiscent of his more inhumane, World War II counterpart. This goes for all other characters in the Primis group as well, as their personalities

Richtofen is a psychopath with a desire for violence, often laughing maniacally when killing. He loves blood and death and thoroughly enjoys killing zombies (as shown by one of his lines - "YES! YES, EXPLODE!"), and has a strange obsession for the spleen. He also has a strange suggestive feeling towards the zombies when killing them. Despite his insanity, he retains his knowledge of bodily organs, technology and Element 115. It's been noted when he is not killing the undead, he is on the calmer, quieter side, talking to himself alone quite a bit.

He is also adamant on completing his work quickly. He despises Dempsey, likes Nikolai and has mutual feelings towards Takeo. He is a megalomaniac due to his plans on destroying the world with a zombie army which partly fails due to intervention from Ludvig Maxis. Post-Moon, he retains his insanity as the Demonic Announcer. After the Earth was destroyed he became focused in mending the Rift to eternally damn Samantha in the Aether world and to destroy Maxis once and for all as well as to partially repair the damaged Earth.

After regaining his physical body and being released from Groom Lake, he retains the same personality as before, which grates on Primis Nikolai. He is also seemingly totally willing to assist his World War I counterparts, and his former allies, in ridding the universe of Monty. As of Tag der Toten, Ultimis Richtofen seems to have calmed his demeanor to the point of being extremely similar to his Primis counterpart. He seems far more caring for his comrades, and can be heard sounding genuinely regretful when apologizing to Victis for abandoning them to be banished into the Dark Aether.

Billy looked up to Salvatore DeLuca and Michael "Finn" O'Leary and wanted to work for Salvatore DeLuca. He took care of the "dirty work" that Sal did not participate in, and specialized in dealing with Sal's enemies in gruesome ways that would make the headlines. He was eventually convicted of 116 counts of murders, leading to his imprisonment on Alcatraz Island.[1] While in Alcatraz, Billy and his fellow mobsters were talked into escaping the prison by Albert Arlington, who had devised a plan to fly off the roof of the prison in a makeshift plane designed by himself. The plan did not work out and the mobsters blamed Arlington for the plan's failure. Feeling cheated, Billy, Sal and Finn crafted weapons and lured Arlington onto the roof, where they brutally murdered him. For the murder of Arlington, Billy and the other two mobsters were sentenced to death by electric chair. Their execution came on the morning of January 19, 1934. With no memory of the escape plan's failure and the murder of Arlington, Billy, Sal and Finn awoke in Alcatraz again, and once again attempted to escape. Before they could even make it out of the cell block, however, zombies attacked them, killing Arlington and Finn. Billy and Sal worked together to try and survive, but Billy didn't keep up with Sal and Sal cut Billy's escape by locking him in the cell block to keep the zombies occupied. Billy was killed by the zombies and taken to the Afterlife, where he would revive himself and team up with the other three once again to attempt Arlington's escape plan, this time trapped inside a hellish iteration of Alcatraz Prison, inhabited entirely by zombies. Billy displays psychopathic behavior, deriving genuine pleasure from killing zombies in violent ways. His mind seems to be constantly fixated on death and violence. Billy also states that he does not feel guilty for his past misdeeds that led to his imprisonment and would rather die than admit to his errors. Arlington recalls that Billy spent a lot of his time at Alcatraz enduring psyche tests due to his mental illness. He shares a mutual rivalry with Finn.

Albert Arlington was born in the early 1900s and lived presumably in Los Angeles, California. On May 11th 1930, Arlington begins working with Salvatore DeLuca and his crime family, as he was known for being a master schemer and a bank robber. Arlington was the money handler in Sal's mob, and was a well noted con man. Later on, Arlington was involved in a bank heist in Los Angeles made for Sal. Arlington used explosives in order to try and open the bank vault. However, Arlington nearly blew himself up completely, and the explosives knocked him out. On October 11th, Arlington wakes up in a hospital, without the police arresting him on his involvement in the heist. Arlington also attempted to publish a comic strip named "Icarus from Mars". Laying in the hospital, Arlington spends his time to his comic, trying to improve on the first two submissions which were denied. On October 28th 1931, he sends his comics to the editor for the third time, and it is denied again. On January 19th 1932, the police finally arrests Arlington for his role in the Los Angeles heist, and his arrests making it to the headlines, saying Arlington has an extensive criminal history. On July 1st, 1932, Al is found guilty of grand larceny, grand theft auto, arson, conspiracy and battery. His sentence is to be served in Alcatraz. Arlington arrives in August 3rd, 1932. Arlington seems to be pessimistic and depressed most of the time. He commonly states how hopeless he thinks the mobsters' situation is. If Arlington is completely downed, the player playing as him can hear him talking to himself, and hears Al mention how he knew old promises would catch up to him. Arlington, like the rest of the crew, inquisitive often asks questions relating to how or why they are trapped in a nightmarish iteration of Alcatraz Island. His sense of humor is dry and deadpan, rarely sounding enthusiastic. He also seems to have a larger vocabulary, and uses less slang than the other three mobsters.

Sal DeLuca came from a family of poor immigrants from Italy. Sal, as a fetus, with his mother, father, grandmother, made it to Ellis Island and his family soon settled down in America. Sal's early life had been simple, and he was supported by his fathers work. However, Sal did not enjoy his simple, and decided to forsake his parents and family, and left for Chicago. On July 18th 1922, Sal opened a casino in Chicago, which marked the beginning of his new crime family. Sal's first big crime was stealing a shipment of Irish whiskey from the north side of Chicago, during which he shot a man, handicapping him for life. Sal's criminal network became heavily involved in gambling, prostitution, and the distribution of alcohol, and he used the money he gained from this to build his own crime family. As time went on, Sal became deeply entrenched in the life of crime. He has took the life, business operations, and girl of a rival bootlegger from the north side of Chicago, named Giuseppe Rioni. Sal executed him with a shot to the head, and then blamed the crime on a rival of Rioni, Jimmy Alessi. This act sparked a gang war in the North Side, through which Sal profited greatly. During the war, Sal unleashed Billy Handsome on members of another rival gang, Torrio's. Although Billy killed the gang members, his actions also took the lives of innocent people near the engagement. Sal had been bribing people in the city to ensure his crime family succeeded, including people at city hall, the mayor's office, and Chicago's finest. However, on March 1th, 1929, Sal began to suspect that he had lost the loyalty of the Chicago's Police Force, and bribes were no longer going to maintain it. As a result, Sal began to focus on maintaining the alliance between his organization and the north side gangs, to prevent any sort of large scale catastrophe, the likes of which the family had seen before and barely survived. On November 11th 1931, angry and frustrated with his collapsing empire, Sal killed a prostitute. No longer willing to turn a blind eye, Chicago's police department arrested him. In May 14th 1932, Sal was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to life in prison on Alcatraz Island. Sal thinks of himself as the leader of the group, though he has no real control of the situation. He comes to his own conclusions about the events that unfold, claiming that he must be in a coma due to Arlington spiking one of his drinks, warning him for the revenge that will come when he wakes up. Sal was friendly with Stanley Ferguson, and many of his comments relating to Ferguson imply that he feels guilty for having him killed. Sal is perhaps the most "Mobster" of the four and speaks in a near-stereotypical mobster accent while using a lot of slang.

Before his imprisonment on Alcatraz Island, Finn ran gambling rackets for Sal Deluca, including bookmaking. He was also married to a silent film actress Angelina Bow, which is described an aspiring starlet with delusion of grandeur. After being married over 6 years, Angelina asks Finn for a divorce, and Finn informed his lawyer he rejects the divorce. Later on, Bow testified and provided evidence against him when he was convicted of 16 counts of gambling fraud, thus being imprisoned on Alcatraz. As with the others, Finn attempted to escape Alcatraz, but was overrun by zombies. He is the second to be surrounded and killed, thus sent to the Afterlife. In reality however, Arlington's escape plan never came to be and Finn, along with Billy and Sal, participated in the murder of Arlington. The three were sentenced to death on January 19, 1934. Upon learning the truth, Finn, Billy and Sal once again turn on Arlington. At this point, the players determine whether the three mobsters are killed by Arlington, or Arlington is killed by the mobsters. In the canon ending, Arlington kills the 3 mobsters and the 4 end up being spirits that roam the island. Finn was writing a letter to Angelina while being stuck in Alcatraz's cycle, as for Sal's request which believes it will redeem the crew's eternal souls. In the letter, Finn finally agrees to the divorce, admitting that he dragged her through Chicago's worst, and that when he didn't let her go, she found her own way out of the relationship. It is not clear whether Angelina actually obtains the letter, and Finn even doubts whether the letter itself is real.Finn is somewhat aggressive, but occasionally cracks jokes and makes light-hearted comments. He seems to be proud of his Irish heritage. According to Arlington, Finn spent most of his time at Alcatraz sitting on the toilet in his cell, reading, keeping to himself. His mind is often fixated on women, particularly his wife, whom he still loves despite her betraying him.

Unless you want to go here to free the 4 souls which are "Michael "Finn" O'Leary, Albert "Weasel" Arlington, Salvatore "Sal" DeLuca, Billy Handsome" and or to get the blundergat The only reason to go here besides those two is to go and have a shitty time Because going here you are technically going to purgatory for a bit so time is basically limited

You can see these often you can use these to to go through dimensions Although not really having a use besides going from one place to another one dimension to another it is really useful to learn that you can use this to Go from let's say a Nazi facility to a city in under seconds just being under different timelines

Hellhounds are essentially zombie-dogs that are a mutated version of Samantha's pet, Fluffy. Fluffy was put in the Der Riese mainframe teleporter and turned into a deadly Hellhound. She later had puppies, accounting for the rest of the Hellhounds. Hellhounds resemble badly deformed German Shepherds. They randomly spawn throughout the map (a ball of lightning will usually indicate whenever they spawn) in packs of two to four (depending on the amount of players) every four to five rounds and their sole objective is to kill the player by attacking with their teeth and claws or by exploding after death. The ground shakes whenever they spawn and there will be a heavy fog covering the map. There are two variants of the Hellhound: the flaming Hellhound, which on top of being perpetually on fire will explode on death, and the normal Hellhound, that simply falls to the ground and will not explode when killed. When the last Hellhound in their special round is killed, it will always drop a Max Ammo power-up. One exception to this is Shi No Numa, where the Max Ammo may not be dropped by the Hellhound, but the next zombie the player kills. The electric bolts that appear during a Hellhound round are supposedly linked towards the teleporter incident that occurred at the Der Riese facility.

Though the origin of the zombies remains mostly unclear, various incidents leading up to the creation of the zombies can be found via radio messages found in various maps. It was caused by Element 115 an element found in meteors that can reanimate dead cells The earliest sighting of zombies was in France, during the First World War, sometimes between 1917 and 1918, where the Germans first uncovered Element 115. However, zombies have existed since the Middle Ages, as seen by both the Crusader and Templar Zombies found in France. While working with Element 115 to power new weapons and the teleporters, Dr. Ludvig Maxis, a German scientist, discovered it could also reanimate dead cells and created an undead army. Unfortunately, this army could not be controlled as the zombies would always go berserk when tested. Edward Richtofen, Maxis' assistant, believed Maxis was not acting quick enough and decided to betray him to further the research. One day, Maxis used his daughter Samantha's dog, Fluffy (who was pregnant), as a test subject for his teleporter. Unfortunately, something went horribly wrong and Fluffy transformed into the first Hellhound. After this event, his assistant, Richtofen, set his plan into motion when he locked Maxis and Samantha in the teleporter room with the mutated Fluffy.

In his career as a police officer in Morg City, Vincent has had dealings with mobsters and criminals of all sorts. His crooked nature would eventually lead to the city's mayor leading an investigation across the entire police department. In order to avoid arrest, he then proceeded to silence all of his criminal associates, to keep his name clean.

Campbell is an up-and-coming boxer, who was given an opportunity to go up against the reigning champion, by defeating the number one contender, Tony King. Campbell, who hasn't fought in eighteen months, promised his promoter that the outcome wouldn't be in any doubt. Unbeknownst to him, Campbell would resort to fighting dirty, by putting brass knuckles under his gloves. With the physical advantage, as well as the referee turning a blind eye, Campbell came out on top as the winner, leaving Tony King fatally injured.

Nero was born into a wealthy family and a lifetime of praise made him a man full of misplaced arrogance.[1] His family estate declined later in life,[2] though his wealth was not affected as Nero had become a very successful Illusionist in Morg City. His popularity later sunk, going as far as being crowned "Worst Magician of the Year" by the Magician's Weekly magazine. Nero married a woman, who he viewed as demanding and always finding a reason to complain about him. In 1943, Nero was hospitalized and comatose for the entirety of November after a performance of The Amphibious Man. On November 5,[3] The Shadowman posed as Nero's Wife and forged a series of loan document in Nero's name, putting Nero into massive debt. Posing as a company executive, The Shadowman told Nero's laywer of the loans. On April 21 1944, Nero missed a call from his lawyer, informing him that the loan agreements were forged as they were signed while Nero was in hospital and that he had nothing to worry about.[4] With fifteen days until the company seek reparations,[4] Nero, unbeknownst to the Shadowman's actions and the lawyer's call, killed his wife with a throwing knife in a staged accident in order to claim the life insurance money and pay off their debts.
