Grigori Weaver

"We can do this all day! We've got plenty of windows!"

- Weaver to Clarke on "Numbers".

Special Agent Grigori "Greg" Weaver is one of the non-playable characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops. He is part of the Studies and Observation Group and is a part of a squad (with the playable character) infiltrating a Soviet base during the mission "WMD". The callsign for his squad during "WMD" is Kilo-1. He also appears in the mission "Numbers" alongside Hudson, as they torture Dr. Clarke. He loses one of his eyes during the mission Executive Order. Later, it is revealed that he, with Jason Hudson, were the ones interrogating Alex Mason.

According to Weaver's CIA dossier, Weaver was born in Russia on 11/10/1936, his father was a local political figure who was executed during Stalin's Great Purge, he and his mother defected to the U.S. during World War 2.

After the Baikonur mission, Weaver developed a comradeship bond with Woods and Mason, for saving his life. However, Mason's deteriorating mental condition has caused rift in the friendship, from worry to mistrust, and by February 1968, Weaver was convinced that Mason is burnt during the latter's days in Vorkuta, and advised to Hudson once they got the info they need, they should deal with Mason as in "two in the chest, one in the head".

His association and support to Mason, along with incidents during the whole Nova 6 incident, have the higher ups suspect the trio's loyalty and reliability as an operational asset; and it all come to the point that, by 1978, Weaver along with Hudson and Mason, were marked for termination under Operation Charybdis.

Weaver is voiced by Gene Farber.

Trivia

 * In the full mission footage of "WMD", Weaver can be seen using a Throwing Knife on an enemy. This is the first confirmed NPC to use (and kill with) the Throwing knife. It is also the only time a throwing knife is actually seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops, as it has been replaced by the Tomahawk.
 * From the Gamescom demonstration (including the Gamestop commercial), Weaver is seen wearing an eye patch.
 * It is very unusual that a Russian is a member of the CIA during the Cold War, even if he was a double agent as Weaver was.
 * Until 1977 Weaver didn't know he still has a blood relative that survived the Great Purge. But unknown to him (or what X didn't tell him, to be exact), Kristina, daughter of his sister Olga, is a GRU agent, and a double-agent who works for the CIA.
 * According to her dossier within Ryan Jackson's account, Kristina's current GRU assignment is to locate, seduce and detain Mason. And that makes her the perfect candidate for operational asset in the upcoming Operation Charybdis.
 * According to Ryan Jackson's emails, Weaver approached Jackson shortly after X tipped him, to ask his help to dig up what info can be found for Kristina; but Jackson's superior, Richard Kain, told Jackson to feed Weaver whatever "to get him off his back".
 * The Arctic Black Ops multiplayer character is similar to Weaver.
 * His signature weapon appears to be an AUG.
 * At the start of "Numbers", Weaver can be seen using a SPAS-12. He is later seen with a Kiparis
 * In the introduction of Numbers, Weaver's birthplace was Portland, Oregon, USA - not Russia. Though this could either be a fake identity created for him or just a cover up to protect his Russian background.
 * In the pre-stages of Call of Duty: Black Ops, Weaver didn't have his eye patch. It could have been they never finish the storyline at the time. Or they didn't want to spoil the story.
