Cordis Die

Cordie Die (which means "Heart Day" in Latin) is a militant terrorist organization that appears as the main enemy faction in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It is lead by Raul Menendez.

Cordis Die officially became active on June 22nd, 2014 as a social networking political movement. Popularity of the group spread rapidly due to the charisma of its unknown leader, known as "Odysseus." In actuality, "Odysseus" is actually narco-terrorist Raul Menendez.

Cordis Die has an extremely large military arm within its organization capable of challenging the might of the superpowers around the world. Because of the wealth obtained by Raul Menendez, he used said resources obtained from his drug empire and weapons dealing to invest in experimental cyber weapons tech and entire hidden armies of drones and elite trained sleeper agents infiltrated in most of the world's top organization's and communities, including many special forces units and intelligence agencies. These huge number of troops, armored vehicles, drones, special forces, and unconventional armies would cause rampant chaos around the world in many smaller conflicts to build up Raul Menendez's empire.

As a result, his international organization managed to recruit and equip large amounts of extremely well-trained operators from his huge political movement and gathered millions of unemployed former soldiers as well as civilians rallying to Raul Menendez's cause such as the Mercs and Militia. Entire nations would also ally with Cordis Die, such as the Pakistani ISI, granting him access to advanced secret factories for war material. Overall, the strength of Cordis Die and their military allies and contacts would cripple the United States's drone fleet and spread rampant chaos across the globe until JSOC would have a final showdown with their leader, the outcome of which is still undetermined.
