Friedrich Steiner

Dr. Friedrich Steiner is one of the main antagonists in Call Of Duty Black Ops. He is featured in the campaign missions Project Nova and Rebirth.

War And After
Steiner was a general in the German army. He was reassigned to help make a biochemical weapon for Hitler to use against the Allies. The plan failed however, as the allies bombing runs destroyed most of the wreckage.

Russian General Nikita Dragovich, wanting Project Nova for himself, recruited Steiner. Viktor Reznov and his men retrieved Steiner and the Nova 6 remains.

Dragovich betrayed Reznov, and tested the Nova 6 on his men. A few survived and blew up the ship, but the threat wasnt over, and Reznov was sent to Vorkuta.

Stiener brainwashed Alex Mason, programming him to kill president John F. Kennedy. Reznov howerver, sabotaged him and put Dragovich, Stiener, and Kravchenko to the list. Mason later escaped from Vorkuta.

Last Hours
Before the imminant release of the Nova 6 on the west, Stiener knew his time was up. Dragovich was removing all his lose ends, and contacted Jason Hudson to rescue him. However, Alex Mason beat Hudson's Team to Stiener, and shot him. It wasnt really Reznov, who Mason believed to be with him throughout the campaign. After this, Mason was the CIA's last lead to the location of the Numbers Station.
