With all the other Zombies characters from the Aether story unable to feature, Eddie is the only Zombies-related option left for the role. Outside of Richtofen or a fresh character, the only other possibility is someone from the Call of Duty campaigns. Right now, the best candidate from the story modes would be Jason Hudson. Admittedly, there is a one piece of evidence that supports this, and that is the fact that the director knows Weaver well.
This indicates a past working relationship between the two, and with Hudson and Weaver teaming up in the original Black Ops campaign, this would make sense.
However, there is a fair bit to disprove this theory as well. For starters, Weaver and Hudson seemed to view each other as equals in the first Black Ops game. With Hudson also being a bit too smart to accidentally send secret documents somewhere that they are not supposed to go, he is not a good fit for the role. The final things working against the Hudson theory, however, are seen in the end cutscene of the Mauer Der Toten easter egg quest. While some may see the white dress shirt and thingk of Hudson, he is wearing his watch on the wrong arm.
Even more damning, though, is the mug that he uses. As such, a silly mug and a general disrespect for his fellow Requiem members seem to disprove the Hudson theory. While Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies features campaign characters prominently, its director will likely be someone fans know and love. However, if he is the scientist-turned-director, he will have been in the background all along.
Twitch reverses its fifth ban against popular streamer Amouranth, allowing her back on the streaming platform after just three days. Richtofen's body is currently still alive, but brain dead, following the events of Buried. It is revealed in an audio log from Tank Dempsey, that the crew is traumatized by the events of Moon, having felt betrayed by Richtofen, and puzzling his actions following the destruction of Earth. However, in an audio log revealed by Pernell, a guard witnessed a zombie enter the Groom Lake facilities, and approach the cell of the brain-dead Richtofen, seconds later, transferring his soul into the body, turning the zombie into a pile of ash.
Richtofen awakens, making a loud noise, and cackling. Thus, Richtofen returning back to his body, for the first time after transferring souls since Moon. Moments later, the Primis crew teleport in the cell, being led by Primis Nikolai. What kind of war? The Great War. Both the Ultimis and Primis versions of Richtofen, alongside their comrades, made their way to Camp Edward in Nevada in an attempt to gain access to the Elemental Shard.
There, they were assisted by the Broken Arrow A. I Rushmore in crafting special variants of the Ray Gun Mark 2 , as well as defeating Cornelius Pernell, who had taken control over the undead in the facility and renamed himself "Avogadro". Meanwhile, the child version of Richtofen that was in Agartha was, along with Samantha, teleported to Camp Edward by Maxis in an attempt to save the children from a wrathful Doctor Monty.
All three Richtofens were present when Samantha gave a speech regarding the group's plan to destroy the Aether and kill Monty. Sometime after their journey to Camp Edward, Ultimis and Primis made their way to a forest, where they celebrated the eventual destruction of Element and the Apothicons.
All of them passed out drunk, save for the children, Primis Nikolai, and Ultimis Richtofen. Unbeknownst to the rest of the crew, Ultimis Richtofen somehow awakened Victis who were still at Alcatraz and teleported them near Tunguska.
From there, he instructed the crew to build an "Agarthan Device", and thanked Stuhlinger for complimenting him. He then proceeded to laugh menacingly, having returned to his undead form.
Elsewhere in the forest, Nikolai informed Samantha with Eddie nearby that she was the only person who is able to kill "the one who perpetrated all of this".
With the rest of the crew poisoned and dead around them. Ultimis Richtofen informed Stuhlinger that he hadn't forgotten about him or his friends. Nikolai then informed Richtofen that it was time for the Multiverse to end. As Victis faded from existence into the Dark Aether, Richtofen apologized to Stuhlinger for deceiving him, before Nikolai shot him with a Welling.
On July 17th, , Edward Richtofen's parents died. Guiding himself, on August 11th, , Richtofen began his studies at Heidelberg University, under the tutelage of Doctor Ludvig Maxis. Having lost his parents, Richtofen came to view him as a father figure. Years later, on July 3rd, , Richtofen and Maxis join Group , a organization dedicated to improving the human condition.
On August 25th, , the journal of a Sir Pablo Marinus , Knight of the Great War between humanity and the Apothicons from the 13th century, is discovered by Group Regarding Element 's power, he noted that a site in Northern France contains massive deposits of the element.
On March 23rd, , using information gathered from Pablo's Journal, Group began work at a dig site in northern France, where they discover a series of underground tombs. A month later, after finding the main chamber, but unable to access it, soldiers listened to a Gramophone to alleviate their frustration. When listening to a recording of "La Source Noire", the entrance to the main chamber unexpectedly opens.
The camp's exposure to Element began. Using information from Pablo's journal and the tomb's main chamber, Maxis drew schematics for the creation of four Elemental Staffs and instructed Richtofen to begin their construction.
On September 22nd, , Richtofen noted that in spite of Group 's progress at the dig site, he was troubled by Maxis' growing obsession with Pablo's diary and with Element On May 13th, , Richtofen learned from Pablo's journal that the northern France dig site may be the single largest deposit of Element on Earth. He believes this explains why it has affected so many at the site.
Maxis, who is now completely obsessed with a girl in his head named Samantha Maxis , who is his daughter from the Original Timeline who had traveled through a rift to gain his help in freeing her from Agartha, and on May 14th, , swore he would not serve Group 's mission in order to advance his own agenda with Samantha.
On June 4th, , Element completely awakened the undead knights from The Great War and quickly consumed the camp. Maxis was rendered catatonic by the element. Richtofen removed his brain before he turned.
The four uniting marks the return of Primis from the original Great War, as the group were reincarnated versions of them. Samantha, who had been freed and sent to the House, then sent Primis to their next destination.
Maxis' brain arrived in Agartha and Doctor Monty , a Keeper, decided to step in. Monty brought Maxis' brain to the house and wiped the Maxis' corrupted by the Dark Aether from existence. Monty revealed his plan to build his perfect world and instructed Maxis to retrieve a book called the Kronorium, which contains the location of another artifact known as the Summoning Key. Maxis in turn relayed this task to Richtofen. Richtofen, through unknown means, manages to make contact with his undead self in the original timeline, and instructs him to pursue Victis.
At the same time, he also instructs Stuhlinger to get the others to follow his plan. They jump to a Broken Arrow base on June 24th, to acquire a shard of Element , then arrive at the Empty Earth, where an alternate Maxis built Zero Base to house various artifacts, including the Kronorium.
Once the Kronorium is acquired, Richtofen then makes his way back to Dimension 63 in July 4th, , with the construction of the Alcatraz lab completed. At the same time, the Victis group arrives and hands him the Kronorium. He then reads it, and discovers various excerpts documenting the fates of Richtofen and various other individuals. He then writes "I know what I must do - E. He then jumps back to Alcatraz in Dimension 63 in , 8 days before the execution of Billy Handsome , Salvatore "Sal" DeLuca and Michael "Finn" O'Leary , and acquires blood samples of the latter two, contained in 4 blood vials.
He travels further back in time to give two of them to a younger version of himself. He jumps back to July 4th, , and then puts the Victis group in cryogenic sleep, preserving them for when they are needed next. Moments after, a future version of Richtofen, along with Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo arrive, and receive blood samples of the Victis group from the younger Richtofen.
Once the Primis group leaves, Richtofen then sets off for his next destination: Morg City in Dimension 63 , where he attempts to intercept a reporter who has just retrieved the Key, locked inside a crate sealed with magic. In self-defense, Richtofen killed the reporter, and placed the crate containing the Key in a truck in the back alley of Easy Street in Morg, due to being unable to break through the magic seal. Richtofen watched behind the scenes as four individuals residing in Morg City are manipulated by the Shadowman into using the Key to unleash the Apothicons upon the city, and their attempts to assist the Keepers in preventing the apocalypse.
After the massive Apothicon in the sky was defeated, Richtofen arrives and swipes the Key from the Keepers, thanking the four Morg residents for their efforts, before leaving. With the Key acquired, Richtofen then jumps to Dimension , and acquires an innocent Richtofen soul, which would be sent to the House and be known as Eddie. Primis Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo, having been teleported to the original dimension in and somehow learned of Richtofen's travels, formed a plan to stop him.
In the following two years, they traveled across dimensions, following Richtofen's trails and encountering various versions of himself at the same time. They return to the original dimension and meet at the Der Riese facility on October 13th, , just moments after Ultimis Richtofen trapped Maxis and Samantha in the teleporter with Fluffy.
Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo confront Ultimis Richtofen, telling him that there is a chain of events that must be carried out, and prompt him to awaken the original versions of themselves.
As the zombie horde approach them from outside, Richtofen ignores the three's warning and turns on the teleporter, only to find Primis Richtofen inside. Primis Richtofen then shoots the Ultimis Richtofen in the head, killing him instantly. This triggers a fracturization across the original timeline. While the group expresses disappointment in Richtofen for tampering with history, he defends his action, believing that what he does will be to secure a better future.
While the others fend off the zombies, Richtofen pretends to use the Summoning Key to acquire the original Richtofen's soul, which Dempsey notices. Eventually, the four activate a beacon in the facility, allowing Maxis from another dimension to locate them. The Germans had captured Ultimis Dempsey's cryo chamber from being experimented on by Ultimis Richtofen and planned to bring him to Griffin Station, now fully ran by Dr. Groph in Ultimis Richtofen's "absence", with Primis close behind until a German soldier fires a Panzerschreck at the Giant Robot, disabling it before it could retrieve Ultimis Dempsey.
After arriving at Griffin Castle, the young four watch as a rocket containing the Ultimis Dempsey launches to the Moon.
After making radio contact with Dr. Groph, Richtofen masquerades as his Ultimis, older self in order to fool Groph. However, Groph becomes suspicious of Richtofen's change of personality and announces him as an imposter. Using the Death Ray, the young four manage to bring the rocket containing the Ultimis Dempsey back to the castle, much to Groph's anger, who activates a failsafe so they couldn't touch the chamber.
Using the Vril Device obtaining from the crash site, the young four awaken a ghost Keeper and help it return it to its physical form before it returns the favor and brings the M. However, the Keeper becomes corrupted, forcing the four to battle it, eventually defeating it. After defeating it, Groph expresses his extreme anger, vowing to destroy them and the castle itself.
In order to tie up these loose ends, the four use the Summoning Key to launch several missiles towards the Moon, destroying it, ultimately destroying Griffin Station and killing any Group scientist at the station, including Groph. After walking towards Ultimis Dempsey's cryo chamber, Richtofen activates the Summoning Key, forcing the others to levitate in the air. Here, Richtofen's plan is revealed to the others. Richtofen plans to kill the Ultimis versions of themselves to be put in the Summoning Key like he supposedly did with his own at the Der Riese facility.
When Dempsey himself sadly put his older self down, Richtofen briefly comforted him after it was done, showing that he had laid his previous dislike of Dempsey off to the side. Richtofen then captures the Ultimis Dempsey's soul in the Key.
Richtofen and the other three then travel to a different fractured timeline, to an island, arriving on a Japanese vessel heading for a Division 9 Facility on October 18th, , before being caught and the Summoning key being taken away from him.
A brief fight ensues with the Japanese soldiers with Richtofen burning one alive before he notices the Key rolling toward the ocean, luckily Takeo had managed to barely catch the Key by his fingertips much to Richtofen's relief. The four then are forced to swim to a nearby island after the ship blows up. Later, Richtofen was present when the Ultimis Takeo Masaki was cured from being a Thrasher to collect his soul.
After the Ultimis Takeo honorably sacrificed himself for a better future, Richtofen then preserved his soul. Initially Dempsey suggested going after the Ultimis Nikolai but Richtofen said a "chain of events " must be set in motion.
Realizing that he wants to save his three comrades from their eventual fate, Richtofen then takes them to Alcatraz on July 4th, , where he meets his younger self and acquires the Victis blood samples. Primis then jump to another fractured timeline, in a war-torn Stalingrad on November 6th, , to kill the Ultimis Nikolai and place his soul in the Summoning Key.
Eventually the four are teleported out of the sky and parachute in front of Ultimis Nikolai's mech while he is distracted with vodka and listening to "The Ace of Spades" on his radio. Upon seeing them the Ultimis Nikolai attempts to kill them until a dragon throws him into a building.
Later, Richtofen and the others make a temporary truce with the Ultimis Nikolai in order to kill the dragon. Afterward, Richtofen and the other three demand Ultimis Nikolai to surrender to which he refuses and betrays them.
After this, he calls to Maxis, telling him that they'll be meeting him soon. Soon after the events of Gorod Krovi, Richtofen along with the rest of the Primis crew finally arrive at the house.
There Richtofen reunites with Maxis, the two then destroy the MDT to ensure the house would remain safe. Letting his guard down Richtofen leaves the Soul key on a table unaware of who was trapped within.
The voice inside calls out to Maxis and influences him due to his lack of soul making him easy to control. Maxis opens the Soul key releasing the Shadowman inside, exploring his new surroundings, he opens a portal to Agartha and unleashes an Apothicon invasion. Monty enlists the help of the Primis crew to defeat the Shadowman and save his perfect world from destruction. With the help of Maxis and S. A , Primis manages to kill the Shadowman and banish the Apothicons to places unknown.
As the world returns to normal Monty becomes concerned as Primis remains in front of him. Noticing the empty blood vials he becomes angered claiming that they are putting his realm at risk. Initially he decides to simply wipe them from existence but decides to instead send them somewhere else. The 4 then end up in the year , in northern France just as the Great war comes to an end causing the cycle to continue. Set before the events of Gorod Krovi, Primis enters the pocket dimension of Alcatraz to pick up the blood vials.
Ending up far from their intended target, the group enters the underground lab and find another Richtofen. He gives the vials to the group and instructs Richtofen to re-read the Kronorium. Richtofen scans through pages exclaiming that pages have changed and that his blood is needed. He becomes enraged and throws the Kronorium before hearing a horde of zombies. The group then makes their escape but before entering the portal Brutus destroys it trapping the group within the twisted version of Alctraz.
Beside a mysterious machine known as the Dark Mechanism, The Primis crew battle against Brutus, Whom is being resurrected time and time again. Richtofen realized what the Kronorium meant and that the machine was intended to draw his blood, and stepped inside, sacrificing himself to free the others. With Brutus finally unable to resurrect, the rest of Primis is joined by a post-Revelations Richtofen, who informed them that the future had changed, and that Nikolai had to keep his soul to defeat Doctor Monty.
The future Richtofen explained that the cycle was broken, and that he wished he could say he was sorry to his younger self. Taking the Summoning key the future Richtofen handed Nikolai the Kronorium telling him he would need to read it to defeat Monty. The remainder of the Primis members and the original Dimention 63 Richtofen entered through one portal each, leaving the new Richtofen alone and scared, the machine continuing to drain his blood. In order to prepare for the coming battle; Primis makes a stop at Groom Lake to gain some allies.
Within Hanger 4 the Ultimis crew were being held seemingly after the events of Moon, With Richtofen also retaining his body. As Ultimis Nikolai expresses glee at being able to drink uninterrupted, Primis Nikolai emerged from a portal asking his alternate self if drowning his sorrows in vodka is the best choice.
The Primis crew rallies their alternate selves and recruit them to fight in the coming battle. A Great war. Meanwhile, Eddie, the child version of Richtofen that was in Agartha was, along with Samantha, teleported to Camp Edward by Maxis in an attempt to save the children from a wrathful Doctor Monty. All of them unconscious, save for the children, Primis Nikolai, and Ultimis Richtofen. Later, Nikolai informed Samantha with Eddie nearby that she was the only person who is able to kill "the one who perpetrated all of this".
After Victis retrieves the Agarthan Device, it is transported to Ultimis Richtofen and Primis Nikolai, with the rest of the crew having apparently poisoned and dead around them, including Primis Richtofen. Not much is known about Eddie's early life, or how he grew up compared to the other versions of Richtofen.
All that is known is that he resided in Dimension At some point while he was still a child, Eddie was visited by a grown-up counterpart of himself from Dimension 63, who killed him and acquired his soul with the Summoning Key, as part of his plan to "secure a better tomorrow". There, he would meet Ludvig Maxis , who introduced him to his young daughter, Samantha.
The two became friends and would spend much of their time playing with toys gifted to them by Monty. Interestingly, some of these toys seemed to bear a resemblance to his other, older counterparts. During the cycle, the souls of "Tank" Dempsey , Takeo Masaki , and Nikolai Belinski would each be captured and sent to the House after Nikolai's soul was captured.
There, the souls would be transformed into children by Monty and met up with the others. They were all quick to befriend each other, and all of the children would live in peace. However, this would be disrupted by the arrival of the Shadowman and the Apothicon invasion of the universe. The Apothicons would be stopped and defeated once and for all by Primis, but sent to the Great War.
After this, the fate of Eddie is left unknown. However, when the cycle was broken , things went awry. He and Samantha still lived in relative peace until Primis Nikolai began his master plan to rid the universe of Element and to solve the Paradox of the Multiverse. Monty soon found out that Primis and Maxis were working behind his back. Feeling that the children would be threatened by this, Maxis brought Eddie and Samantha into the basement, teleporting them out of Agartha and to Camp Edward before Monty devoured him.
If you blow up the earth, Richtofen switches souls with Samantha and her body is released in a shrine. If playing as Richtofen you can converse with Dr. Maxis via a computer. They talk about how they worked together on the DG-2 and how they were meant to change the human condition. In each of the three maps, he speaks to a survivor named Samuel Stuhlinger, who he enlists to help him polarise three towers in order to reinforce his link between the Aether and Earth.
If all towers are powered in his favour, Richtofen destroys Maxis' soul and then shares Samuel's body. But if the player chooses to follow Maxis instead, he becomes the Demonic Announcer, replacing Richtofen, and begins the process of destroying the earth in order to reach Agartha to reunite with Samantha.
In the meantime, Maxis banishes Richtofen's soul from the Aether and he is to be condemned to eternal damnation as a zombie. This is considered the canonical ending. In the final map for Black Ops II, named Apocalypse, an alternate version of Richtofen appears as a playable character, alongside younger, alternate versions of Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski and Takeo Masaki, since the map is where all four character meet for the first time in the Origins Timeline.
Eventually the group frees Samantha from Agartha and she reunites with Maxis. Two years after Origins Richtofen learns of another universe where he is a child playing a casual game of zombies with Samantha Maxis and he is an innocent child. Wanting to protect this version of himself and Samantha, Origins Richtofen goes to multiple dimensions and kills all of his incarnations.
The other three attempt to stop him but ultimately fail. Eventually Richtofen stops in one particular realm in order to take the Summoning Key to set a universe right, he thanks the Shadows of Evil cast for the key before leaving through a portal, leaving the four for dead.
Following this, the Origins Timeline Richtofen ends up in a slighlty altered version of the original timeline, only a minute after his original self attempted to murder Maxis and Samantha.
Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo from Origins attempt to warn the original Richtofen to not open a teleporter but he ignores them and finds his alternate self.
