Lawrence Sims

Captain Lawrence Sims is a supporting character featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and later returning in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. He is also an Operator of the NATO faction in Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone. 
==Biography==
Lawrence Sims was born on February 4th, 1942, at in . After the loss of his father, he developed a laid-back and lightly sarcastic persona, studying the world with detached amusement. Sims quickly immersed himself in the world of technology, both military and consumer, quietly focusing on following in his father's footsteps.
After receiving a scholarship and graduating from the , Sims entered the United States Army, where he served for two years before joining the CIA. There, he quickly became known for his keen intelligence, pragmatism, and ability to solve intractable problems.
In a twist of fate, his first major assignment was a placement on Russell Adler's MACV-SOG team in Vietnam, where he immediately became one of Adler's favorite cohorts and trusted friend. 
One morning in early January 1968, Lawrence Sims left Da Nang Air Base with USAF Airman Darren Kopp for a routine recon mission. After experiencing mechanical difficulties, their chopper touched down in a jungle clearing fifteen miles outside the base.
While waiting for assistance, they were ambushed by Viet Cong and forced to flee in the jungle. Kopp was killed in combat. Sims, ammo exhausted, took Kopp's knife and circled the clearing perimeter. He managed to take out three soldiers by hand before reinforcements arrived and secured the malfunctioning chopper.
Sims has continued to be a constant presence on Adler's teams ever since, including the fateful operation that would bring him face-to-face with Alex Mason and Frank Woods.
===Hunting Down Perseus===
In 1981, Sims was contacted by Adler once more to join his team, in an effort to hunt down the enigmatic terrorist Perseus. They were joined at CIA Safehouse E9 in Berlin by MI6 agent Helen Park, Mossad fixer Eleazar "Lazar" Azoulay, and a rookie operative codenamed "Bell", alongside Mason and Woods. Sims took on a support role for the team, handling requisitions rather than getting involved in direct combat.
The team first retraced their step by reminiscing Operation Fracture Jaw, a mission undertaken by Adler, Bell, and Sims in Vietnam, 1968 to secure Soviet intel from Viet Cong forces. Afterwards, Bell managed to decrypt the intel they remembered, leading them to Russian mobster Anton Volkov, who was one of Perseus's associates. Sims also briefed Bell on two smaller jobs, involving Perseus's allies: rogue KGB officer Vadim Rudnik and ex-CIA agent Robert Aldrich. Sims provided Bell with the intel they had on the targets, giving them clues on how to pinpoint Rudnik and Aldrich's locations in order to eliminate them.
After several missions, the team learned that Perseus was after Operation Greenlight, a top-secret US program to detonate nuclear bombs across Europe in the events of a Soviet invasion. The team faced a major setback when they attempted to secure a sleeping agent in Cuba, which resulted in the death of Lazar. Sims was later present at Safehouse E9 where he, Adler, and Park attempted to interrogate Bell, revealing their true nature as one of Perseus's top agents who was betrayed and left for dead, and that Adler and Park used an advanced brainwashing technique to turn Bell to their side. Having recovered their memories, Bell was left with the option to either assist Adler or lie to him. Ultimately, Bell told them the truth, leading the team to assault Perseus's base on Solovetsky Island and stop the nuclear attack from happening.
===1984===
In April 1984, Sims was part of a rescue team led by Woods, who was sent to Laos to save Adler, who was captured three months prior by Perseus operative Vikhor "Stitch" Kuzmin. The mission, however, was unsuccessful, as Adler had already been moved to Verdansk, Kastovia, before they got there.
===1991===
Sometime after the Perseus Manhunt, Sims left the CIA, disturbed by the agency's increasingly questionable ethics. He re-enlisted in the United States Army, eventually attaining the rank of Captain and was assigned with US Central Command. In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, Sims was deployed to Iraq, where he was contacted by his former superior, Russell Adler, who sought his assistance with the Pantheon conspiracy. Despite a strained relationship with Adler, Sims reluctantly agreed to support the mission, but he insisted that it would be his final operation with the CIA. Adler accepted this condition, and Sims mobilized his task force to assault Al-Makheel International Airport.
With the goal of capturing Gusev, Sims, Adler, and Case fought through intense Pantheon resistance intent on delaying their advance. Throughout the operation, Sims grew increasingly uneasy with Adler's relentless drive to capture the Pantheon scientist, though he continued to offer his support. Ultimately, their efforts succeeded, and Sims reluctantly took part in Gusev's interrogation. When Adler deemed Gusev no longer valuable, he ordered Case to execute him. However, an enraged Sims quickly intervened, taking custody of Gusev. This action marked Sims’ final break with Adler, as he permanently severed ties with the team and departed.
