Call of Duty: Vanguard Reveals Main Villain for Campaign

[Animous]

Call of Duty: Vanguard is the next big title from Activision in the Call of Duty series, bringing the series back to WW2 again. Even before release players know quite a bit about it, including witnessing a glitch that turns dogs on the ones who called them.

While most players know Call of Duty primarily for the multiplayer, few titles in the series have skimped on the story, with truly memorable beats throughout the franchise. Call of Duty: Vanguard is creating a cast of characters designed to be colorful and over the top, and is now releasing more information about them, including the game's primary antagonist.

In addition to a brand new trailer highlighting the playable characters in Call of Duty: Vanguard's campaign, Activision has also posted brief bios of them over at the official Call of Duty website. In addition to the playable characters, the main villain of Call of Duty: Vanguard is also revealed. Surprising no one, he's a nazi and goes by the full title of SS Oberst-Gruppenfuhrer Hermann Wenzel Freisinger. Freisinger is a very high ranking official in the game, chief interrogator of the SS in fact, and the instigator of Project Phoenix.

Freisinger is, in many ways, the dark mirror of the protagonist team's leader, Arthur Kingsley. Both come from noble backgrounds with a family history in conflict, but while Kingsley was raised on stories of compassion and finding compromise in politics, Freisinger was raised on tales of glory. Serving as a courier during the later part of the first World War, he is now eager to uphold his family's warrior honor, no matter who or what must be sacrificed. He likely won't be the most nuanced character, and players are as likely to mock him for it as the "historiclally accurate" WW2 Call of Duty: Vanguard sounds they have already mocked.

Of course, it's important to remember that Call of Duty: Vanguard is going for a certain adventurous feel, not strictly accuracy. It wears its cheesy heart on its sleeve, to the point where its British leader protagonist is called Arthur Kingsley. Even with that tone, it's likely that Vanguard's multiplayer modes will still be fun enough to satisfy most.

That said, Freisinger's bio certainly paints him as interesting, particularly when it comes to his charisma. He is described as being able to turn people against themselves with his words, which could be frightening to see unfold with an ensemble cast. Hopefully he turns out to be an awesome antagonist so that more serious issues, like early weapon glitches in Warzone, can become the center of attention, so they might be fixed.

Call of Duty: Vanguard launches November 5 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
