Farid

Farid (Arabic: فريد) is a playable character in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II campaign. Not only is Farid the tech expert of SEAL Team Six as he guides the team through Colossus in "Karma", he is also a mole in Cordis Die under deep-cover for the C.I.A.
==Biography==
He is playable in the mission "Achilles' Veil". On account of him being unable to be marked as friendly, he must fight with Yemeni soldiers in order to keep his disguise as a member of Cordis Die. Raul Menendez was aware that there is a mole in his operation since the start of the mission, and at the end, after shooting down a VTOL with Mike Harper inside, he instructs Farid to kill Harper to show his allegiance to Cordis Die. The player, however, is given a choice of either shooting Menendez, who is behind Harper, or shooting Harper himself.
Shooting Menendez leads to Farid being killed by Menendez, whereas shooting Harper leads to Farid being killed by Salazar or DeFalco in "Odysseus".

== Personality ==
When Menendez orders Farid (the player) to shoot Harper, he may chose to shoot Menendez in Achilles' Veil, but will be shot in the chest, lectured about loyalty, then shot again in the face, by Menendez, ultimately giving his life to save Harper. If he shoots Harper, he will be seen as shaken and mourning his fallen friend, but alive, He later will die from either taking a bullet for Chloe Lynch, being shot by DeFalco or shot in the head by Javier Salazar.
These all show that Farid is a truly selfless, kind man. He doesn't like to see others in pain and would rather die than let someone else die. He is nicknamed "egghead" by Harper, and the two share a close bond. This being shown when Farid either is killed in Harper's spot or kills Harper, but then wants to be close to his body, mournful and shaken.
Farid seems to have a strong bond with Mike Harper, as he looks to be shaken if he kills Harper. In addition, he and Harper often converse and Harper gives him the nickname of "Egghead" and later used it to communicate to Farid in front of Menendez. If Farid survives, he stays near Harper's body as a retrieval team arrives. If he dies, Farid selflessly sacrifices himself to save Harper, further hinting that the two had a strong friendship with one another.
