Andrei Harkov

Andrei Harkov (Russian: Андрей Харков) is a playable character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 during the mission "Turbulence".

F.S.O. Career
Harkov was an agent protecting President Boris Vorshevsky and part of the FSO under the command of Leonid Pudovkin. He held off the Ultranationalist terrorists that attempted to hijack the President's plane while it was on route to Hamburg. Before the plane crash Pudovkin stayed with the President while Harkov fought with another agent who then falls out of the plane leaving only Harkov and Pudovkin to survive until the end. After the plane crash landed, he and Pudovkin attempted to retrieve the President. As Pudovkin, Vorshevsky, and Vasili get ready to board the helicopter, Harkov opens the door only to find Vladimir Makarov holding him at gunpoint and then is shot. Pudovkin pulls out his gun but is shot before he is given a chance to kill Makarov. As Makarov gets Vorshevsky onto to helicopter, Harkov reaches for Pudovkin's pistol but is too late and is killed by Makarov.

Trivia

 * He and Yuri are the only Russian playable characters in Campaign throughout the Modern Warfare series.
 * He is the eighth playable character that is scripted to die.
 * He has a randomly generated model as seen in Milehigh Jack.
 * When Harkov died, the screen only turns black unlike other playable characters (like Pvt. Allen and Sgt. Jackson) where the screen turns slowly to white. Possibly because he died instantly unlike the others.
 * In the intro of the mission "Turbulence", an obscured photo can be seen with the words "Inside Man? Andrei Harkov" (seen in image). It is unclear what his relationship with John Price is or what knowledge, if any, he has of him.
