"Grab your ass! We got a fight on our hands!"
— Weaver in "Executive Order"


Special Agent Grigori "Greg"[1] Weaver is one of the non-playable characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops and is voiced by Gene Farber.[2] He is part of the CIA the squad in the mission "WMD." The callsign for his squad during "WMD" is Kilo-1. He also appears in the mission "Numbers" alongside Jason Hudson as the two torture Dr. Daniel Clarke. He loses his left eye during "Executive Order" after Lev Kravchenko gouges it out. Later, it is revealed that he and Hudson are the ones interrogating Alex Mason.

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.

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."

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."

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.

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 It is also the only time a throwing knife is actually seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops, as it has been replaced by the Tomahawk.
  • 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.
  • 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.
    • 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 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 Big Boss of 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.
  • He is the third character to lose an eye in the series. The first was 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", possibly due to his eye getting stabbed out earlier in the game.
  • Weaver late at game likes Mason for rescue him with Woods, probably have friendship with Mason as he offer proposition as said above, ironically dislikes him and say he (Mason) should end with two in chest and one in head, but smiles at him at last mission probably to show he respect Alex.
