Eleazar "Lazar" Azoulay is a major supporting character and playable operator in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (and appears in Black Ops 6 and Warzone). ### Basic Info - Full Name: Eleazar Azoulay (nickname: Lazar) - Date of Birth: October 25, 1948 (Washington, D.C.) - Age in Cold War (1981): 32–33 years old - Nationality: American-Israeli (dual citizenship) - Voiced by / Likeness: Damon Dayoub ### Background & Career Born in Washington D.C. to professors of political science, Lazar’s family moved to Israel when he was young. He excelled as an athlete in school, studied at Royal Holloway, University of London (where he picked up the nickname “Lazar”), and then joined the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He was later recruited by Mossad, where he built a reputation as a demolitions expert with “explosive power” and legendary unflappability under pressure. After working closely with CIA agents on Middle East operations, he left Mossad and joined the CIA full-time as a Middle East specialist, leveraging his dual citizenship. In 1981, Russell Adler recruits him into the elite team hunting the Soviet operative Perseus. ### Team & Teammates Lazar is part of Russell Adler’s covert CIA task force operating out of a safehouse in West Berlin (and later other locations). The core team includes: - Russell Adler (leader, ex-CIA SAD/SOG) - Lawrence "Sims" Sims (quartermaster/tech specialist, longtime friend of Adler) - Helen Park (MI6) - Alex Mason & Frank Woods (Black Ops veterans) - The player character Bell (new recruit) He often serves as the team’s heavy hitter, protector, and bomb/disposal expert. ##Personality & Traits - Unflappable Protector: Lazar is the epitome of calm under fire — often described as a "brick wall" who remains steady and composed no matter how chaotic the mission gets. His legendary unflappability makes him the team's reliable anchor, the one who keeps everyone grounded when bullets start flying or plans fall apart. - All Brains and Brawn: A powerful combination of raw physical strength, athleticism, and sharp intelligence. As a former Mossad demolitions expert, he’s highly skilled with explosives, heavy weaponry, and close-quarters combat, but he also brings thoughtful strategy and regional expertise (especially Middle East operations) to the table. He’s not just muscle — he’s a calculated operator who excels at both planning and execution. - Quietly Loyal & Empathetic: Deeply loyal to his teammates, especially Adler’s crew, but he shows a softer, more compassionate side beneath the tough exterior. He’s the one who looks out for the new recruits (like Bell), expresses genuine concern, and even pushes back subtly against overly ruthless decisions. He values the people he fights alongside and doesn’t forget those who earn his respect. - Professional with Dry Humor: Direct and no-nonsense in his communication, Lazar keeps things mission-focused but has an understated, dry sense of humor that surfaces at the right moments. He’s not as openly sarcastic as Sims, but his deadpan delivery and occasional quips help lighten heavy situations without breaking focus. - Dedicated & Grounded: Driven by a strong sense of duty from his IDF and Mossad days, he brings a disciplined, principled edge to the team. He enjoys simple pleasures like good food (Chinese takeout or greasy burgers) and has a subtle personal side, such as his noticeable interest in Helen Park. Overall, he’s the steadfast heavy-hitter who protects the team while quietly caring about the human cost of their operations. Overall vibe: The imposing yet reliable protector of the group — a calm, powerful force who blends brute strength with brains, loyalty, and quiet humanity. He’s the one you want watching your back in a firefight or when things get morally complicated. Deadly competent, emotionally steady, and always ready to get the job done.
