User blog:IamLucifer69/PE Keep Proposal - Khaled Al-Asad

My next PE Keep Proposal is about Khaled Al-Asad from the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare game.

What's the Work?
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter videogame released in 2007 and the fourth instalment in the Call of Duty franchise. While its predecessors were set during World War II, this was the first one to be based on warfare during today's time era. It is regarded as the franchise's best game and its success lspawned two sequels, a remaster in 2016 and now an upcoming reboot.

Who's the Candidate?
Khaled Al-Asad is the game's secondary antagonist. He is a Saudi Arabian military dictator and the founding leader of the OpFor. He is also an ally of the Russian Ultranationalists and is a member of the Four Horsemen. His primary goals was to take over the Middle-East and remove the Western Civilization people by force, as well as assisting the Russian Ultranationalists in their goals as well.

What Has He Done?
At the beginning of the game, he is labelled as the second most powerful in the Middle East and wanted to be "top dog". In the level "The Coup", he led a coup in taking over Saudi Arabia while executing President Yasir Al-Fulani on national television as he accused him of treason and prompted to remove Western people from the entire region. After this, he had men slaughter entire Middle Eastern cities while trying to seize control over the region and distract U.S. forces from Russia. During the level "Shock and Awe", he allowed a nuclear bomb triggered by Vladimir Makarov to destroy an entire city while killing 30,000 marines, and including his own men, as well. While this happened, he fled to an Azerbaijani safehouse while having Ultranationalist forces slaughter the villages in the means of "protecting" him.

Freudian Excuse/Mitigating Factors
There isn't anything about Al-Asad's past that may justify his actions. Nor should he receive sympathy for allowing the nuke to wipe out both the 30,000 Marines and his own men while he cowardly hid in a safehouse while having Ultranationalists slaughter the nearby villagers. While executing Al-Fulani, he smirked just as he pulled the trigger, showing that he took pleasure in what he was doing. During his final moments before his death, he pathetically begged for his own life while being beaten during interrogation.

Final Verdict
I will leave the decision up to you guys, but I'd say he should stay on as Pure Evil.
