  +
===Early life===
 
According to Weaver's CIA dossier, he was born in the [[Soviet Union|Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] on November 10, 1936. His father was a local political figure who was killed during Stalin's Great Purge and his mother defected to the U.S. during World War II.
   
  +
===Operation Flashpoint===
According to Weaver's CIA dossier, he was born in [[Russia]], 11/10/1936. His father was a local political figure who was executed during Stalin's Great Purge and his mother defected to the U.S. during World War II.

{{Dialogue a-b|Joseph Bowman|What happened to Weaver?|Frank Woods|He's been compromised!|Bowman and Woods, during "Executive Order"}}
After the [[Executive Order|Baikonur mission]], Weaver develops a 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 advises Hudson to deal with Mason with "two in the chest, one in the head."
 
   
  +
Weaver was assigned to infiltrate Dragovich's launch facility and disable the rocket that is set to launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the USSR. However before he could do that he was compromised and captured by [[Nikita Dragovich|Dragovich]]'s second in command, [[Lev Kravchenko|Kravchenko]]. Later [[Woods]] and [[Alex Mason|Mason]] spotted him via a pair of binoculars, he was tied to a chair and interrogated near a Mi-8. Kravchenko then called Woods on the radio and told them that he would be spared if they surrendered.
After the attack on the ''Rusalka'' and Dragovich's death, Weaver declares victory, but Mason reminds him that they are only the victors "for now."
 
   
 
When Mason and Woods do not comply, Kravchenko buries a knife into Weaver's eye and moves him into a nearby building where he was eventually rescued by Mason. After the [[Executive Order|Baikonur mission]], Weaver develops a 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 advises Hudson to deal with Mason with "two in the chest, one in the head," thus deeming him unfit to continue any further operations.
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; by 1978, Weaver, Hudson and Mason are marked for termination under [[Operation Charybdis]].

===Interrogation of Clarke===
<ref>[[:File:Cod7 additional cast.PNG]]</ref>
 
  +
{{quote|We can do this all day! We got plenty of windows!|Weaver while torturing Clarke}}
  +
  +
After Mason and the [[Studies and Observation Group|SOG]] unit recovered a file from the Soviet Defector that had intel on [[Dragovich]], they discovered a man named [[Daniel Clarke]] had helped create [[Nova 6]]. Weaver and Hudson were sent to [[Kowloon]] to interrogate him. Afterwards he reveals that he was working on Nova 6 for Dragovich, and that a Nazi scientist named [[Steiner]] was also involved pertaining to the experiment. The group was then forced to flee across Kowloon after an attack by Soviet [[Spetsnaz]] infantry.
  +
  +
Shortly before reaching the LZ, a slippery roof causes Clarke to fall and hang from Hudson's arm. Before he can reveal important information about Nova 6, Clarke is shot through the head. Weaver and Hudson continue on and are eventually rescued by other CIA agents. They immediately head to the Soviet Union to retrieve Steiner.
  +
  +
===Mount Yamantau===
  +
{{quote|We're clear. Hudson, shut down the relay dish.|Weaver to Hudson}}
  +
Weaver, Hudson, [[Brooks]], and [[Harris]] travel to the Yamantau Complex, taking on waves of Soviet troops in the blizzard with support from a Blackbird piloted by Captain [[Mosely]] and Major [[Neitsch]] using elements of stealth to keep themselves hidden.
  +
  +
Harris falls to his death when the bridge he is standing on is crippled by an RPG, forcing Weaver, Hudson, and Brooks to parachute from the cliff to escape the resulting avalanche. Failing to locate [[Steiner]], they discover the location of Dragovich's targets. Steiner contacts the [[CIA]] and reveals his location at Rebirth Island, and that only he could translate the number codes.
  +
  +
===Death of Steiner===
  +
{{quote|We have to stop him NOW!!!|Weaver witnessing Mason execute Steiner.}}
  +
It is revealed that Mason, who they thought died in [[Victor Charlie|Vietnam]], was alive and had set out with Reznov to kill Steiner. Weaver, Hudson and the [[CIA]] reach Rebirth Island, fighting through waves of [[Spetsnaz]] through clouds of weaponized Nova 6. Upon reaching the base, they see Mason attacking Steiner on the other side of a bullet-proof window.
  +
  +
A delusional Mason proclaims that he himself is [[Viktor Reznov]] and that he will have his revenge. Once through the glass, Mason shoots both Steiner and Weaver, but Hudson knocks him out. Weaver suggests that they find Reznov but Hudson says they won't because he was never there. Upon the revelation that Reznov was never on the island, it is accepted that Mason is the only link to finding the broadcast station. He is then taken into custody and interrogated by the CIA.
  +
  +
===Mason's Interrogation===
  +
{{quote|You want to die with him? Your choice!|Weaver as an interrogator.}}
  +
Following Steiner's death, Weaver and Hudson interrogate Mason for the location of the numbers station. When he tells them he doesn't know what they're talking about, they put him through the major events in his life from Bay of Pigs in 1961 to the present day.
  +
  +
However, Hudson does most of the interrogating, getting few answers out of Mason, who rants on about Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, and his delusions concerning Reznov. Later Weaver gives up and tells Hudson they're at DEFCON 2 and need to get to the bunker. Hudson chooses to stay in a last ditch effort to jog Mason's memory. Weaver tells Hudson it's his choice if he wants to die with him and walks out.

  +
{{quote|Mason, It is over. We won...|Weaver, congratulating Mason.}}
  +
However, Hudson does jog Mason's memory and finds out that Castro gave Dragovich a ship called the Rusalka which was the numbers station. They clear out the ship but find out the broadcast station is really underneath it in a supply station. Hudson calls in the airstrike but Mason insists they go after Dragovich. Once Hudson agrees he tells Weaver to take the rest of the squad out.

  +
{{Canonunknownstart|[[Intel#.22Redemption.22|Intel from Call of Duty: Black Ops]]}}
  +
According to unlocked intel, Mason never fully recovered from being brainwashed and still hears Reznov. This made him a person of interest to the CIA. The CIA then decided he was a threat to national security. Weaver and Hudson also became people of interest due to their association with Mason. Mason, Hudson and Weaver later escaped to South Africa.

===October 28, 1978===

*Until 1977, Weaver didn't know he still had a blood relative that survived the Great Purge. But unknown to him, Kristina, daughter of his sister Olga, is a GRU agent, and a double-agent who works for the CIA.
*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]].
 
 
**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".
*It is very unusual that a Russian is a member of the CIA during the Cold War, though the most likely reason he was recruited was because of his Russian background and that would have proved useful in black operations and undercover operations in the Soviet Union.
 
  +
*Weaver has been misled by Mason's reports from Vietnam and even believed that Reznov was with Mason, stating at the end of Rebirth that they had to find [[Reznov]].
*Until 1977 Weaver didn't know he still had a blood relative that survived the Great Purge. But unbeknownst 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.
 
  +
*Obtainable intel states that Weaver is a gifted mechanic.
**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.
 
  +
*His Russian accent throughout the game varies; the most notable example being in "[[WMD (mission)|WMD]]" in which he states "RPG on the Ridge!" in a deep Russian accent; however, earlier on in the level, he states "Ready when you are" with an American accent.
** 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".
 
  +
*In most trailers, Weaver can be seen without an eye-patch in WMD, which means he didn't have an eye-patch in early production.
*The Arctic Black Ops multiplayer character is similar to Weaver.
 
  +
*One of Weaver's nicknames is "Cyclops", a reference to his having only one eye as the mythical creature did.
*His signature weapon appears to be an [[AUG (Black Ops)|AUG]].
 
  +
*He was born the same day as [[Joseph Bowman|Bowman]].
*At the start of "[[Numbers]]", Weaver can be seen using a [[SPAS-12]]. He is later seen with a [[Kiparis]].
 
  +
*In the mission "Old Wounds" in Black Ops II, when Woods stabs Kravchenko during the interrogation, he references Weaver by saying, "You believe an eye for an eye, huh?"
*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.
 
  +
*Weaver's personal information in the Numbers and Redemption cutscenes detail that he was born in Portland, Oregon even though the intel says that he was born in Russia.
*In an email from [[Weaver]] to [[Mason]] entitled "Proposition" (sequel to "Thanks"), Weaver tells Mason that he is trying to set Mason up with a "smoking blonde down on the the first floor" who is named [[Sarah]]. Weaver states that apparently her fiancé had a thing for prostitutes and now the wedding was off. Weaver then tried to hook up with her, but failed, and now had a managed to hook her up with Mason.
 
*In second part of the mission "Rebirth", Weaver can be seen without a respirator coming out of the residential area after the Nova 6 gas attack.
 
*Weaver's general appearance (including the lack of an eye as well as the use of an eye-patch) may be an homage to the character [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Boss Big Boss] of [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_series Metal Gear] fame.
 
*Along with Hudson, it can be easily noted that Weaver is one of the interrogators responsible for interrogating Mason, when he does speak, his particular Russian accent can be heard through the voice-altering.
 
*It is reported that the Treyarc team toyed with the idea of Weaver receiving his eye injury during a brutal rape scene in the Russian Gulag, but this was promptly dismissed as the production team felt it would be beyond the graphic abilities of the Playstation 3 processor to accurately simulate a 12 man gang rape.
 
*He is the third character to lose an eye in the series. The first was [[K. Pyle|Pvt. K. Pyle]] in'' [[Call of Duty: World at War]] ''by a Japanese interrogator, the second would be General Shepherd from ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2''. Weaver is the first character of the latter two to survive the mission he lost his eye in.
 
*Even though he is Russian, he keeps his American accent while breaching in "[[WMD]]", which may mean that Weaver was originally meant to be American.
 
*Earlier pictures of Weaver show him with both of his eyes, which might mean that making him lose an eye was not originally intended.
 
*Most of the times, Weaver has a very deep accent, but sometimes, he has no accent at all. For example, in WMD, during the rappelling sequence, he has no accent (stated above), while during the avalanche he has a deep accent.
 
*In "[[Numbers]]", Weaver notifies himself as "Redeye", This is in reference to a week long bout of pinkeye he picked up during his 2nd tour of duty in Vietnam.

"Grigori Weaver... his mission was to sabotage the rocket."
Alex Mason


Special Agent Grigori Weaver (Russian: Григорий Уивер) was one of the secondary protagonists and a non-playable character in Call of Duty: Black Ops. He is a member of the CIA Special Activities Division and part of the squad in the mission "WMD". The callsign for his squad during "WMD" is Kilo One.

He also appears in the mission "Numbers" alongside Jason Hudson as one of the two who interrogate Dr. Daniel Clarke. He loses his left eye during "Executive Order" after Lev Kravchenko gouges it out with a knife, and wears an eye patch throughout the remainder of the campaign. Later, it is revealed that he and Hudson are the ones who were interrogating Alex Mason.

Weaver returned in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 as a character in the Blackout mode during Operation Dark Divide.

Biography

Early life

According to Weaver's CIA dossier, he was born in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on November 10, 1936. His father was a local political figure who was killed during Stalin's Great Purge and his mother defected to the U.S. during World War II.

Operation Flashpoint

Joseph Bowman: "What happened to Weaver?"
Frank Woods: "He's been compromised!"
— Bowman and Woods, during "Executive Order"

Weaver was assigned to infiltrate Dragovich's launch facility and disable the rocket that is set to launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the USSR. However before he could do that he was compromised and captured by Dragovich's second in command, Kravchenko. Later Woods and Mason spotted him via a pair of binoculars, he was tied to a chair and interrogated near a Mi-8. Kravchenko then called Woods on the radio and told them that he would be spared if they surrendered.

When Mason and Woods do not comply, Kravchenko buries a knife into Weaver's eye and moves him into a nearby building where he was eventually rescued by Mason. After the Baikonur mission, Weaver develops a 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 advises Hudson to deal with Mason with "two in the chest, one in the head," thus deeming him unfit to continue any further operations.

Interrogation of Clarke

"We can do this all day! We got plenty of windows!"
— Weaver while torturing Clarke


After Mason and the SOG unit recovered a file from the Soviet Defector that had intel on Dragovich, they discovered a man named Daniel Clarke had helped create Nova 6. Weaver and Hudson were sent to Kowloon to interrogate him. Afterwards he reveals that he was working on Nova 6 for Dragovich, and that a Nazi scientist named Steiner was also involved pertaining to the experiment. The group was then forced to flee across Kowloon after an attack by Soviet Spetsnaz infantry.

Shortly before reaching the LZ, a slippery roof causes Clarke to fall and hang from Hudson's arm. Before he can reveal important information about Nova 6, Clarke is shot through the head. Weaver and Hudson continue on and are eventually rescued by other CIA agents. They immediately head to the Soviet Union to retrieve Steiner.

Mount Yamantau

"We're clear. Hudson, shut down the relay dish."
— Weaver to Hudson

Weaver, Hudson, Brooks, and Harris travel to the Yamantau Complex, taking on waves of Soviet troops in the blizzard with support from a Blackbird piloted by Captain Mosely and Major Neitsch using elements of stealth to keep themselves hidden.

Harris falls to his death when the bridge he is standing on is crippled by an RPG, forcing Weaver, Hudson, and Brooks to parachute from the cliff to escape the resulting avalanche. Failing to locate Steiner, they discover the location of Dragovich's targets. Steiner contacts the CIA and reveals his location at Rebirth Island, and that only he could translate the number codes.

Death of Steiner

"We have to stop him NOW!!!"
— Weaver witnessing Mason execute Steiner.

It is revealed that Mason, who they thought died in Vietnam, was alive and had set out with Reznov to kill Steiner. Weaver, Hudson and the CIA reach Rebirth Island, fighting through waves of Spetsnaz through clouds of weaponized Nova 6. Upon reaching the base, they see Mason attacking Steiner on the other side of a bullet-proof window.

A delusional Mason proclaims that he himself is Viktor Reznov and that he will have his revenge. Once through the glass, Mason shoots both Steiner and Weaver, but Hudson knocks him out. Weaver suggests that they find Reznov but Hudson says they won't because he was never there. Upon the revelation that Reznov was never on the island, it is accepted that Mason is the only link to finding the broadcast station. He is then taken into custody and interrogated by the CIA.

Mason's Interrogation

"You want to die with him? Your choice!"
— Weaver as an interrogator.

Following Steiner's death, Weaver and Hudson interrogate Mason for the location of the numbers station. When he tells them he doesn't know what they're talking about, they put him through the major events in his life from Bay of Pigs in 1961 to the present day.

However, Hudson does most of the interrogating, getting few answers out of Mason, who rants on about Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, and his delusions concerning Reznov. Later Weaver gives up and tells Hudson they're at DEFCON 2 and need to get to the bunker. Hudson chooses to stay in a last ditch effort to jog Mason's memory. Weaver tells Hudson it's his choice if he wants to die with him and walks out.

Death of Dragovich

"Mason, It is over. We won..."
— Weaver, congratulating Mason.

However, Hudson does jog Mason's memory and finds out that Castro gave Dragovich a ship called the Rusalka which was the numbers station. They clear out the ship but find out the broadcast station is really underneath it in a supply station. Hudson calls in the airstrike but Mason insists they go after Dragovich. Once Hudson agrees he tells Weaver to take the rest of the squad out.

After the attack on the Rusalka and Dragovich's death, Weaver declares victory, but Mason reminds him that they are only the winners "for now."

1978

Scout Leader MW3
Perhaps our intel was off!
The following text contains information that only appears in Intel from Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Therefore, the canon status of this information is unknown.

According to unlocked intel, Mason never fully recovered from being brainwashed and still hears Reznov. This made him a person of interest to the CIA. The CIA then decided he was a threat to national security. Weaver and Hudson also became people of interest due to their association with Mason. Mason, Hudson and Weaver later escaped to South Africa.

October 28, 1978

The CIA formed a joint task force with MI-6 in order to find and kill Mason, Hudson and Weaver in what they dubbed Operation Charybdis. While Mason and Hudson survived, Weaver is not mentioned by either Mason or Hudson in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
