Imran Zakhaev is the leader of the Russian Ultranationalists and the main antagonist of Call of Duty 4. He, his son, Victor, and his troops allied themselves with Khaled Al-Asad and his OpFor.

15 Years Before Call of Duty 4
In 1996, the SAS earned permission for its first assassination order since World War II. Their target was Zakhaev, then a simple simple black market dealer. A young John Price and Captain MacMillan were dispatched to find Zakhaev and bring him down. From atop a black tall building, they sniped him during a deal and supposedly killed him.

It turns out that Zakhaev survived the assassination that day. His left arm, however, wasn't that lucky. During President Al-Fulani's execution, Zakhaev was the one responsible for giving Al-Asad the gun that murdered Al-Fulani. Before Al-Asad was killed by the SAS, Zakhaev called him. The SAS turned their attention to finding him. Their biggest league was his son Victor. When they tried to question Zakhaev's son, Victor committed suicide. This angered Zakhaev telling all American and British forces to leave Russia immediately. He then released missiles that targeted the United States. His plan was foiled by the American Marines and SAS. Zakhaev made his final stand on a highway bridge where he personally executed Gaz and the marines before a wounded Soap kills him and his bodyguards.
