Chloe "Karma" Lynch

"So I guess you're famous now for... saving the world. It's very rare that we actually have a celebrity that's done something."

- Jimmy Kimmel interviewing Chloe

Chloe Lynch, otherwise known as Karma, is a secondary character who appears in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II campaign. She is a former employee of TACITUS, and knows how to disable the Celerium. This makes her a wanted target by Raul Menendez, who sends DeFalco to capture her.

Effects on the ending

 * If the player failed the Strike Force missions and did not kill chairman Zhao, Chloe is killed along with Admiral Briggs when the U.S.S. Obama is destroyed by a SOC Drone deploying a bomb.


 * If Farid does not survive Achilles' Veil, he will not be able to save Chloe by jumping in front of Salazar or DeFalco if he survived Collosus and Chloe will die.


 * If the player failed to save Chloe both in the Second Chance Strike Force mission and at the Colossus Resort, she will be executed by DeFalco after being interrogated by Menendez. In the first three scenarios, if she is killed, Menendez will escape prison if he is spared and will kill Woods before going to his sisters' grave committing suicide.


 * If Chloe survives the events of Black Ops II, she will decode Menendez's Celerium Worm and prevent Menendez from escaping and later appears on Jimmy Kimmel's show and insults Raul Menendez on live television, sending him into a fit of rage in his cell and smash his head against the T.V. several times.

Trivia

 * Chloe appears in the Strike Force mission "Second Chance"; after rescuing her, the player can control her just like any other Strike Force unit. In fact, one of the challenges in "Second Chance" necessary for completion involves killing at least 10 enemy personnel while playing as her.
 * This makes Chloe the second female playable character in a Call of Duty single-player campaign with the other being Tanya Pavelovna from Call of Duty: Finest Hour.
 * Chloe's nickname, Karma, comes from a tattoo of the word in Chinese, written on the back of her neck.
 * She is seen dancing with DeFalco at the Avenged Sevenfold concert after the credits roll.
 * There's a mistake in the cutscene during Karma, which shows Chloe wearing a different outfit from the one she wore at the beginning of the level. However, later scenes showed her wearing the same first outfit. She is seen wearing the second outfit during the beginning cutscene of Achilles' Veil, and during the level Odysseus.
 * She shares her first person model with Sarah Michelle Gellar
