While there, Mason manages to snap Adler out of his Perseus brainwashing and back into the folds of NATO. On August 2nd, 1984, Mason managed to capture Adler and bring him to the same interrogation room that Hudson and Grigori Weaver put Mason in after killing Fredrich Steiner 16 years prior. " Oh god, what have I done?" - Adler, upon having his mind restored With this in mind, Hudson ordered Woods to have Mason bring Adler in. During a private meeting between Woods and Hudson, the two came to the conclusion that Adler had been compromised. Adler rushes into the firefight, acting of his own accord by stealing the data recorder and lying that it must have burnt up on re-entry.Īfter his outing in Algeria, Adler began working off the grid on an unknown project in Verdansk. A day after, Adler alongside Jabari Salah and other NATO operatives head to the crash site in Algeria to secure a data recorder from the satellite. One lands in Verdansk, while the other lands in Algeria. On June 26th, two satellites collectively known as the "Jumpseat Constellation" are crashed by Perseus operative Owethu "Jackal" Mabuza. Unfortunately for Stitch, Adler was rescued on June 10th and brought back into NATO's fold. With the data secure, Stitch intends to brainwash Adler and "entire nations" with the same method used by Dragovich and Steiner on Alex Mason. In the process, the duo destroyed the site so that the Soviets could blame the United States for the incident. On June 2nd, Stitch has Perseus operatives Freya "Wraith" Helvig and Roman "Knight" Gray retrieve Dragovich's data on brainwashing from a base in Mount Yamantau. Hudson orders the team to head to Verdansk and "bring our boy home". They interrogate the remaining bad guys in the safe house and search for intel which all pointed to Verdansk. They eventually found a safehouse where Nova 6 barrels were being stored but upon finding them they were empty and were used to draw in Adler and the Team.
The team eventually got "skunked" hard but were able to get through heavy firefights in the camps. Weeks later, Hudson contacts Wolf for a sit-rep and news on Adler. At the same time Frank Woods, Karla Rivas, Terrel Wolf and a small strike team chased after Naga and his men near a camp in Laos. A firefight ensued, which ended with Adler being captured by Stitch and transported onto a helicopter.īy April 19th, 1984, Adler was reported by Kapano "Naga" Vang to be headed to Verdansk. "Stitch" would give the order to kill all of the NATO operatives - save for Adler. Alongside a strike team, Adler arrives at the mall, only to be ambushed by Kuzmin and his soldiers and found Nova 6 barrels.
The fate of Bell remains unknown, but Adler managed to survive the encounter and return to the CIA.Īdler would soon find himself confronting Kuzmin again, where would be baited by the Perseus operative into coming to the Mall at the Pines after a raid on a CIA base in West Berlin. Adler would then tell Bell that he had to make one last sacrifice, and that it wasn't personal before both of them drew their pistols on each other. Adler would take Bell to a cliffside, telling them they were a hero for making sacrifices to stop Perseus. During his mission, he came across an injured operative of Perseus, who he subsequently captured and brainwashed into falsely believing they were a CIA agent who served with Adler in Vietnam, alongside nicknaming the operative "Bell".ĭespite breaking through the conditioning, Bell still managed to assist Adler and his allies in stopping Perseus' plot to detonate nukes across Europe. On January 13, 1981, during a mission with Frank Woods and Alex Mason in Turkey, Adler discovered that the Soviet agent Perseus became active and four days later Jason Hudson tasked Adler to build a team to track down and eliminate Perseus. Despite his interrogations, Adler was unable to force Kuzmin to disclose any critical information in retaliation for what Lev Kravchenko did to fellow CIA operative Grigori Weaver back at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Adler stabbed Kuzmin's left eye with a knife. One such operation was the raid of Rebirth Island, in which he was responsible for capturing and interrogating Vikhor Kuzmin, a Soviet operative in charge of overseeing Nova 6's production on the island. His deep knowledge of covert tactics, fluency in Russian and German, and mastery of espionage make him one of the few key operatives that the CIA can consistently rely upon. Russell Adler later joined the Special Activities Division in 1966 and was assigned to the MACV-SOG in 1967 to investigate Soviet activity in Vietnam.Īfter Vietnam, Adler disappeared from and only sporadically appears in the CIA's records but continued to be affiliated with a number of clandestine operations. He was recruited into Central Intelligence Agency in 1959.
