"Velikan is a shadow of a shadow. Tales of his exploits are written off as fairytales at best and gross exaggerations at worst. Those who know him never speak ill of him. Whether it’s due to fear or respect, no one knows."
Modern Warfare In-game biography

Velikan is an Operator featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. He is a Shadow Company Operator for the Allegiance faction in Modern Warfare and an Operator for the KorTac faction in Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III.

In Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, Velikan was released on August 18th, 2020 as part of the "Velikan Operator Bundle" during Season Five of the game. In Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, he was released as part of the Season Five Battle Pass.

Initially, Velikan appears in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 as a boss in DMZ's Building 21 map where he will drop an RGL-80 and Stealth Plate Carrier on death. Additionally on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Velikan appears in the Veteran version of the Atomgrad Raid Episode 02 as a hostile enemy, similar to his Building 21 appearance.

Background[]

Next to nothing is known about Velikan, save for his mysterious identity and reputation as a highly trained assassin. At some point, he joined Shadow Company as a mercenary.

Following the war in Verdansk, Velikan served as a site commander and warden of the Shadow Company-occupied Defense Research Center's Building 21, until the Konni Group raided the compound and ousted him as well as other Shadow Company contractors in July 2023.

Following Phillip Graves' re-emergence and Operation: Rogue Arsenal, Velikan would fight alongside Shadow Company, now affiliated with KorTac.
