Kamarov

"Welcome to the new Russia, Captain Price."

- Kamarov's greeting to Captain Price. Sergeant Kamarov (Russian: Камаров) was a Russian Loyalist, frequently tasked with helping Captain Price's S.A.S. squad, his Task Force 141 squad and the Czech Resistance. Kamarov features in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
He appears several times throughout Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and is known to Gaz and Captain Price, having worked with them several times; with Beirut being mentioned in one mission. He makes the SAS team stray from their objective by assissting loyalist Russian forces against the Ultranationalists before escorting them to Nikolai. At Kamarov's suggestion "...with just a bit more sniping-", Gaz threatens to throw Kamarov over a cliff to his death if he does not reveal the location of the informant. He later assists the SAS and Marines in a joint operation, the negative feelings between them having wore off by then. Kamarov appears once more at the end of the game when his unit comes to save what remained of the SAS team from Zakhaev and his soldiers. Kamarov then comes to MacTavish's aid, assuring him that he will be alright.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
In World War III, he helped the local Czech Resistance when the Russians invaded the Czech Republic. On October 10, he is assigned to Price and his team to assassinate Vladimir Makarov in Czech Republic. As everyone is in position, Kamarov fails to respond and the team goes in without him. After Price has entered the building, the elevator in front of him opens to reveal Kamarov tied to a chair strapped with C4, Kamarov having been captured by Makarov's men before he could report. He says ''"I'm sorry, Price." ''before the C4 detonates. Makarov comes on the radio saying "Captain Price, Hell awaits you." before Captain Price runs out. Though Price manages to escape, Kamarov is killed in the explosion.
