Shadowman

"Your service to the overlords is appreciated. Our complete assimilation of this dimension... will now... proceed."

- Shadow Man, upon the completion of The Beginning of the End



The Shadow Man is a character appearing in Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies in the maps Shadows of Evil and Revelations, being the hidden main antagonist. He is voiced by Robert Picardo.

The Shadow Man is a mysterious figure, who watches over four citizens of Morg City: Nero Blackstone, Jessica Rose, Jack Vincent, and Floyd Campbell. He is aware of the sins they have committed, and questions why they have done these misdeeds. As the four are plunged into a twisted version of the city, infested with zombies, the Shadow Man offers them guidance from afar, telling them that only from him will they find redemption. Later on in the Easter egg, the Shadow Man reveals that he is a servant of the overlords and leaves the characters to die which results in them tracking him down and trapping him in the Summoning Key on a ritual table with the help of the four gatekeepers in the Pack-a-Punch room.

However, before they could retrieve the Summoning Key, Richtofen comes out of nowhere and takes it saying that he needs it to "set the universe right." He then teleports away, dooming Jessica Rose, Nero Blackstone, Floyd Campbell and Jack Vincent.

In Revelations after Richtofen delivers the Summoning Key to Maxis with the characters' souls, Maxis accidentally releases the Shadow Man who then releases Apothicons into the realm after the Shadow Man tricked him into thinking he could save the world with The House, resulting in Maxis being trapped in the Summoning Key. He then unleashes the Apothicons into the dimension while referring back into his Apothicon form.
