Dr. Daniel Clarke was an English chemist and inventor from Call of Duty: Black Ops who defended the Russians during the Cold War and helped Dragovich and Steiner develop the Nova 6 gas.

History

Nova 6
Daniel Clark was born in Oxford, England. In his younger years he was a strict communist, but when the anti-communism program was launched in the country, he soon found himself ostracized by his peers. In 1964, he made his way to the Soviet Union in search of allies, where he met Nikita Dragovich, for whom he was soon allowed to work on the nerve agent Nova 6, where his talents in biology and chemistry were welcome. Clarke never worked directly with Dragovich, but nevertheless he was aware that the latter would eliminate him once the project was completed because all loose ends would have to be tied up.

Escape, interrogation and death

Clarke escaped from Dragovich’s men and indicated that he would seek shelter at his brother’s apartment in Johannesburg, South Africa, but before he could be captured by Weaver and Hudson, he was on the run the entire time. Canisters of Nova 6 were found in his lab in Hong Kong, meaning that even while on the run he was constantly researching, however his investigation came to an end in Kowloon City.

Although he revealed that Frederick Steiner created the Nova 6 and that the main base is in the Soviet Union, he promises more information if Hudson and Weaver will get him to safety from Dragovich’s men.

The three of them fight their way across the rooftops of Kowloon during a storm and have almost escaped when a sniper pierces Clarke’s skull with a bullet just as he is about to say what the mysterious numbers are all about. Hudson lets go of the body and it falls deep down into an alley, whereupon Hudson and Weaver continue to flee until they are on the ground. They successfully escape with the information Clarke provided them with.

Trivia

• In the English version, Daniel Clarke was dubbed by Gary Oldman, who also voiced Viktor Reznov in each part.
• Clarke’s file claims that he was born on July 10, 1920, but the death report states that his birth date was April 16, 1921. The death record also states that he died in January, but the mission takes place in February.
• Clarke is the only friendly English character in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
• The calculations of his research are recorded on the windows of his lab, on his arms and on his face.
• He is the only character who has anything to do with Nova 6 and yet fights alongside the player.
• Clarke holds his CZ75 as if it were an assault rifle.
• Clarke also has a fully automatic G11.
• The markings on his face are identical to those of the Pentagon thief. It can’t be him because he was killed by a sniper in Kowloon. However, it is possible that his body was brought to the Pentagon and he was resurrected there. This theory is highly controversial.
• In the Wii version, his beard is black.

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
