Samuel J. Stuhlinger

"Oh, you can't tell 'em about the flesh... what I did! They'd kill me if they knew."

- Samuel Stuhlinger, in Die Rise cutscene

Samuel J. Stuhlinger is one of four playable characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies mode.

Background
Samuel is incredibly paranoid, often suggesting that simple occurrences, such as running low on ammunition, are linked to a conspiracy of some sort. He likes food, especially cheese. He is also the only character in Green Run that is able to hear Richtofen.

In Die Rise's opening cutscene, it is revealed that he has eaten the flesh of a human arm, which he has kept a secret from the other characters, claiming they would kill him if they found out. It is likely that the flesh was that of a zombie, as he has the unique ability to hear Richtofen, makes remarks about being hungry after killing zombies, and frequently hears zombie-like groans in Die Rise.

He is named by both various in-game quotes and game credits.

Appearance
Samuel is a Caucasian man with a mustache, charcoal sweater, green vest, khaki shorts and glasses. He has short, grey hair, and appears slightly overweight.
