"Yes? hello? You are... Americans? English? This is... I am Mikhail! How did you...I...No, we need your help. We need you to take down the airship, the largest one overhead. Our forces cannot get close. See if you can lure it into range."
— Mikhail Saburov during the battle of Berlin


Captain Mikhail Saburov (Russian: Михаил Сабуров), better known as Mountaineer, is a character within Call of Duty: WWII Nazi Zombies, officer of the Soviet Red Army and member of the Bureau of Archaic Technologies.

History[]

Mikhail Saburov grew up in Ruskeala, he was trained as a sniper in the Red Army. During the battle of Berlin, dozens of Zeppelins led by Peter Straub dropped hordes of zombies into the city as a counterattack against the Soviets. Mikhail got in contact with the Raven team of the MFAA seeking help to shoot down Straub's Zeppelin.

After the battle, Mikhail was recruited by Hank Rideau to be part of the Bureau of Archaic Technologies. He was part of the caravan to transport the pieces of the Sword of Barbarossa from Luxembourg to Málaga, Spain.

Following the arrival of the Bureau convoy in Antarctica, Mikhail guided the Raven team to New Swabia as part of their mission to reforge the sword. The mission was a success and the group took a plane to regain Deception Island. Unfortunately, the plane was taken down by a surge of Geistkraft near the Ronne Ice Shelf; Mikhail survived the crash and kept the sword with him while looking for the Raven team whose footprints showed them moving deeper inland.

The rescue party sent by Rideau and led by Vivian Harris came across Saburov who told them what happened, Harris, under the influence of the God-King, took the sword with her to bring it back to him. Mikhail was then recovered by Rideau and his team and they headed towards Thule to regroup with the Raven team.
