Meet the last two Ops from the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War crew

This is how Natalie Pohorski, the Narrative Producer of Raven Software, described Eleazar ?Lazar? Azoulay: ?I see him as a protector. He might seem like a brick wall, but there?s a softer side hidden back there.??Lazar is of Israeli descent on his father’s side and grew up in Tel Aviv, although he was born in America.

Showing excellent athletic potential from a young age, Lazar later went on to become a Mossad operative. He was famous for his explosive power, as well as his calm and unperturbed nature. Later, using his dual citizenship (American-Israelite), he joined the CIA as a Middle East expert.

Unlike Lazar, who was born to a scholarly parentage, Lawrence Sims grew up in a military household. Natalie Pohorski described Sims as “brutally honest and sarcastic“. She also said that Sims and Adler have some history together, which sets them apart from the rest of the crew.

Sims’ first major assignment was with Russell Adler‘s MACV-SOG team in Vietnam. He quickly went on to become one of Adler’s favorite cohorts and has accompanied him on missions since then. Besides them, the crew will consist of ?Mason,?Woods, and?Hudson.

The intricate character design is something players have appreciated throughout the franchise. CoD is one of the few FPS franchises that emotionally binds players with the characters. Characters like Ghost, Soap, and Captain Price are evidence of this fact. Black Ops Cold War has employed a similar character design which could make fans fall in love with the series all over again.
