Like it ended for Captain MacTavish? Tell me, Price: how long did it take him to die? I've destroyed your world piece by piece. It's only a matter of time until I find you.

Modern Warfare 3 Makarov's dossier, from Modern Warfare 3; click to expand In this game, Makarov presses war on the western world. Trivia During the opening cutscene, where Shepherd gives a briefing on Makarov, you can see that he is 5' 11", and weighs lbs. Makarov's height is inconsistent between Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. According to Shepherd's briefing in the second game, he is 5'11" and weighs lbs.

In Modern Warfare 3, intel suggests that he is between 5'7" and 5'9". The fact they are inconsistent could be a mistake with Infinity Ward or alluding to how little is known about him. Modern Warfare 3's height listing could fit with the fact Makarov looks shorter than his compatriots in No Russian.

Again, it could be a simple canonical change since the game was made by Infinity Ward, with some of the same employees from The other explanation is that IMDb credits Roman Varshavsky, Makarov's voice actor, as being 5'9", Makarov is an anagram of Kamarov - the name of the Russian soldier who arrives with help at the end of Call of Duty 4.

Kamarov appears again during Modern Warfare 3, and the two are quickly linked together, though not as allies or as enemies. Makarov only appears once in the Modern Warfare 2 story - you can hear him other times, but you can only see him in the mission 'No Russian'. This is not the case in Modern Warfare 3, where you encounter him several times.

The 'Infamy' trailer was released on the Makarov's birthday; October 4th. Makarov's eyes are two different colors: one is blue, while the other is green. This changes in Modern Warfare 3, with both of his eyes simply being green. In Modern Warfare 2 he has heterochromia iridum. In the Modern Warfare 2 briefing, Makarov's name is shown as V.

Makarov using the patronym, derived from his father; an example of this would be Vladimir Romanovich Makarov, etc. In Modern Warfare 3's dossier, it is marked as "V. Makarov" instead. As well, he appeared as a customization option in Call of Duty: Ghosts. He was the grand mastermind behind World War 3 and the cause of the entire series' events, always pulling the strings from behind the lines as the puppet master.

Makarov, a ruthless yet cunning strategist, often outmaneuvered his enemies and made them play by his rules. Taking the zero-sum game to heart, he did whatever was necessary to gain the upper hand without any regard to the loss of human life in the process, even shooting Yuri his only known friend to reach his objective.

Makarov truly believed the end justified the means and until his death at the hands of John Price , Makarov's tactics would dictate the course of history. Most likely, it was for this reason why he held a grudge against Price and Soap. The news articles showed that Makarov was responsible for the terrorist attacks in London and Moscow , threatening the removal of the Ultranationalist Party that was controlling Russia. In the early nineties, he was stationed in Berlin during the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

Later on in his career, he made it into the Spetsnaz and served two tours in Chechnya during the First Chechen War. It was believed a company under his command was involved with some of the most brutal "cleansing" raids. At some point, the U. Makarov's name appeared at the top of the list that was presented by an EU Investigation panel, but the inquiry was dropped when Makarov opted for discharge from the armed forces. This incident would mark the beginnings of his pathological hatred and jealousy toward the West and the Russian government for giving him no other option but to leave the armed forces.

At some point, the leader of the burgeoning Ultranationalist Party , Imran Zakhaev , took notice and allowed Makarov a position within his anti-Western movement.

It was said Makarov was "kept in check" by Zakhaev during this partnership. In , Makarov along with his fellow soldier Yuri were present in Pripyat when Zakhaev was trading the fuel rods for the gold to fund the Ultranationalists and witnessed Zakhaev being shot and having his left arm mutilated by Lieutenant Price during the deal. Makarov drove Zakhaev away from the area, saving his life and earning his trust. Makarov was present during the U.

He gave the order to detonate a nuclear device after receiving a phone call from Al-Asad Who was actually hiding out in his safehouse in Azerbaijan watching the detonation from Al-Asad's safehouse, with Yuri being the only one to witness this. The blast resulted in the deaths of over 30, Marines.

Among the dead were Sgt. Paul Jackson , Lt. Vasquez , Cpt. Pelayo and Lt. This was the start of Makarov's madness as his hatred escalated even further. This event would also be a reason for Lieutenant General Shepherd 's Who served as the invasion force's supreme commander motives in After the Ultranationalists became the victors in the Second Russian Civil War through the Russian presidential election on August 10, , Makarov played some part in the new Ultranationalist Russia under the mainstream party's newly elected leader and President Boris Vorshevsky.

However, Vorshevsky and the other moderate Ultranationalist leaders knew Makarov's extreme tactics would deter any hopes of trying to distance the party from its violent past and winning the support of the Russian people and for Makarov causing strained relations with the United States and the Russian Loyalists.

Another reason behind his removal was his vision to see Russia return to autocratic rule, which was the time of the Tsars. His vision could have incurred the wrath of a large number of members in the party including Vorshevsky, because this vision endangered their position as the new ruler of Russia.

To ensure the Ultranationalist position as Russia's legitimate representative to the world, Vorshevsky, backed by a strong majority of members in the party, removed Makarov and his men with immediate effect and tried to improve relations with the United States and the Russian Loyalists.

Furious with Vorshevsky's decision, Makarov vowed to kill Vorshevsky and his inner circles by calling all of them traitors to their cause. A news clipping in his safehouse confirmed this newfound hatred, explaining continuous attacks that conducted by the Inner Circle toward Russia and the Western interests for the next five years.

Most likely, Zakhaev's death was the reason why he held a grudge against Price. The other news articles showed him responsible for several attacks in London and Moscow, threatening the Ultranationalists' removal from the government, fulfilling his vow to eliminate the traitors to their cause. In , General Shepherd and his Task Force were seemingly responsible for capturing Makarov and bringing him to justice.

Shepherd inserted Allen within Makarov's terrorist cell, seemingly for the purpose of some deep cover operation. However, unknown to the young soldier, Makarov knew who he was and saw him as a pawn to further escalate the tensions between the Russian government led by Vorshevsky and the U. Makarov and his men launched their terrorist attack on Zakhaev International Airport with their latest member, Alexei Borodin, Joseph Allen in tow.

By the end of the assault, it was apparent that Makarov knew Borodin was an undercover CIA operative. He killed Allen and left his body at the scene of the massacre, implicating the American soldier in the attack. Makarov explained to his men his actions were meant to bring a full-scale war between the United States and Russia. Incidentally, General Shepherd also wanted a war between the United States and Russia as part of a plan to become a national hero and deliberately sent Allen to die.

Yuri tried vainly to stop the massacre, only to collapse due to the massive loss of blood from his wound. Eventually, he was rescued and held a deep grudge toward Makarov for his betrayal and his violent acts against his own countrymen since then. The war ensued and General Shepherd was given supreme command over the military and a mandate to continue his search for Makarov, who the General truly needed dead so he could bury any evidence of foul play.

Makarov and his men were tracked down to two possible locations. One element of the Task Force was sent after Makarov in his safehouse in the Caucasus Mountains and another was sent to assassinate him at an airplane graveyard in Afghanistan. Shepherd began to purge his own Task Force of anyone who knew about his involvement with the airport massacre and the surrounding events. Makarov present at the Airplane Graveyard and unlikely to evade Shepherd for long without his forces or safehouse was contacted by Captain Price , who asked for intel on Shepherd's whereabouts.

Makarov knew of Joseph Allen's identity when he accepted him and later blew Allen's cover to frame America and wage war to kill ultimately thousands of Americans. He knew that it wouldn't take much to send the whole world into chaos, and that massacring an entire airport in Russia was enough to push the country into seeking vengeance against America, whom he turned into his own scapegoat.

Knowing his only survival is to get rid of Shepherd , Makarov let Price give the location of Shepherd at Site Hotel Bravo and go into hiding. He also somehow found out about Price, Soap and Yuri's intended assassination for him in Prague, taking full advantage of it and using it as an opportunity to kill Soap for killing Zakhaev.

However, which his intellect made him quite arrogant as while he knew killing Soap would enrage Price so much to kill him, he never considered that he would undoubtedly find him. And so, fittingly, his arrogance and pure evilness are what led Makarov to his well-deserved death at the hands of Price. Makarov is highly regarded as the franchise's best and yet most hated villain, as well as one of its most popular characters to date. Edward Richtofen Dr. OpFor Khaled Al-Asad.
