~ Jonathan Irons in an Atlas commercial following the KVA attacks.

The Atlas Corporation are the main antagonists of the 2014 video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and also appears in the Call of Duty: Mobile comics. They are the archnemesis of Sentinel Task Force.

It is the largest private military corporation in the world led by Jonathan Irons, who seeks to rebuild human civilization, but launches an attack on the United States due to his conflict against the government for not only he believing that they failed to build democracies for centuries, but also trying to avenge his son's death by wiping the world's superpowers out so Atlas would become the only superpower to defend the Earth from his enemies by developing a bioweapon known as Manticore.

History[]

Early Beginnings[]

The Atlas Corporation was founded in February 2035 in Colorado Springs and saw major success during the Second Gulf War. Following the end of the war, the area of the conflict was hit hard by catastrophic, devastating, and calamitous aftermath of the war and within five years, Atlas rebuilt Baghdad better than what the U.S. government could do within fifty years.

From there on out, Atlas gained popularity and attention and went international and was also free of government and congressional control and limitations. Their slogan is The Way Forward, reflecting the company's goal of building the future for humanity.

Second Korean War[]

Nineteen years later, the nation of South Korea was attacked in July 10th, 2054 by its hostile neighbor, North Korea, starting a Second Korean War following the Korean People's Army launching an all out assault on the nation's capital of Seoul. Atlas participated in the event and sent in their troops to repel the North Korean offensive, but they were conducting their mission to search and rescue a VIP in the city. The offensive was stopped when the North Korean invasion force was repelled from the country and a former Marine, Jack Mitchell, became a member of Atlas following his return home from Korea.

Fight against the KVA[]

Sometime before the game, Atlas was leading an all-out war with a terrorist organization known as the KVA, founded and led by Joseph Chkheidze (code-name: Hades) and former Chechen separatists in 2041. In 2055, KVA launched a series of terrorist attacks worldwide, including the kidnapping of Algerian Prime Minister and an unnamed technologist in March 7th, and they also unleashed nuclear attacks on April 28th.

In response, Atlas launched a massive humanitarian relief and they set up various camps to hold the surviving refugees while the PMC continues the manhunt for Hades by capturing his second-in-command who hid in the abandoned city of Detroit. The KVA was disbanded in 2059 when Atlas troops led by Gideon, Ilona and Mitchell were deployed to Greece to kill Hades.

Fight against Sentinel Task Force[]

Sometime after the KVA's disbandment, Mitchell and Ilona recovered a holographic recording chip from Hades before his death. When the duo and Gideon watched it, Ilona revealed that Irons had profited from the KVA attacks to improve Atlas' public image by executing the technologist rescued in Nigeria to keep the world's governments in the dark.

Mitchell and Ilona wanted to leave Atlas, but the duo were stopped by Atlas MPs and Gideon, who did not believe that the recording is real, left them alone with Irons until they receive help from an anonymous individual that guided them throughout the firefight in New Baghdad, which is later revealed to be Mitchell's former Marine sergeant, Cormack.

Four years ago, an American-led coalition special operations unit, Sentinel Task Force, was formed with the original purpose of investigating KVA attacks and preventing them from even happening again. However, due to Atlas' rise in new heights, they attempted to stop the PMC from dominating the world, with Mitchell and Ilona joining as Sentinel operatives, and Gideon later defected to Sentinel after completing his own investigation into Irons when developing Manticore to against the U.S.A.

Due to Irons declaring war on the world by attacking San Francisco in 2060, combined with the destruction of Golden Gate Bridge and the damage to the Navy's Third Fleet and its aircraft carrier U.S.S. Arrowhead, the world responded by turning against Atlas in 2061. Sentinel and the U.S. military invaded New Baghdad where the Atlas command center was located, but they were decimated by drones containing a biological agent called Manticore, including "Knox". However, Gideon, Mitchell and Ilona were immune as their DNA signatures were still in Atlas' database, along with Cormack who was outside the blast radius of the city, resulting in their capture by Atlas forces.

After being taken to the prison camp in the city's outskirts, Cormack and Mitchell were tortured and while Cormack bled out from his gunshot wounds caused by Irons, Mitchell's prosthetic arm was disabled using a socket wrench. Ilona and Gideon were about to be executed by Atlas soldiers, but they broke free and liberated Mitchell and Cormack. They also discovered that Irons was planning to launch Manticore strikes on the military bases around the world in the next few hours.

As Gideon, Ilona and Mitchell mourned the death of Cormack, they launched a final desperate attack on Atlas command center using XS1 Goliath suits, with Ilona staying behind to guide Gideon and Mitchell. Eventually, the duo were able to stop the launch and Mitchell cut off his prosthetic arm to make Irons fall to his death. Despite killing Irons for his betrayal and everything he stood for, Mitchell narrated that the war on the Atlas Corporation still continues around the world.

Exo Zombies[]

When Atlas dropped the bomb, they... hoped... it would finish the war. Instead, it unleashed a freak show like no one's ever seen. No warning. No backup. No one else. But us.
~ Oz in Exo Zombies trailer

After Atlas used Manticore in hoping to finish the war, they caused an apocalypse unleashing zombies. While many Atlas troops were killed and infected, Oz, Lilith, Kahn and Decker were overrun by zombies until Atlas researchers revived them at Burger Town. Little does they know, Atlas placed bounties on the four former Atlas members.

In Burger Town, the former Atlas members were captivated by Sentinel lead by Lennox. Lennox killed Oz due to him being a source of the infection. Sentinel extracted the three former members to Atlas' ship. Unbeknownst to them, Oz has become a zombie. While successfully activating self destruction to the ship, Lennox and the three former Atlas members are intended to escape from the ship until they've encountered the zombie Oz but got away within a submarine as the ship was exploded.

Atlas will pay for what they've did to you, Oz.
~ Lilith

After escaped the ship, the four characters are heading to Atlas' black sight. Oz is already there and mutated. After killed the mutated Oz, Lilith deleted Oz's database and burned Oz's corpse to sworn to get revenge on Atlas. Unbeknownst to them, there are many of Oz's clones and one of them open his eyes before Oz saying "I still f*cking hate the Atlas Corporation".

Call of Duty: Mobile comics[]

The Atlas Corporation was created by Dietrich Ansel known as the Director and created Division A. The Director also recruited Ether, Alias, Samael, The Marshal, Spectre, Hidora Kai, Nyx, Dark Shepherd, Satsumebachi, Dr. Mendelsohn, Dr. Edward Richtofen, Lazarus and created and AI known as The Iron Will.

After the defeats of The Five Knights and The Dark Covenant, Atlas Corporation appears with Ether is overseeing an op in Zurich, while also noting Makarov's involvement. Ether was informed that there was no sign of the Zurich Police and Montpierre's family, and later was informed by a mysterious client that involvement changes everything.

Atlas Corporation introduces New Vision City, their miracle in the desert, and the fastest growing city in the world. It went from a barren desert and the fastest growing city in the world. It went from a barren desert to a metropolis with a population of 1 million in a single decade. The headquarters of Atlas Corporation and the exclusive residence of its executives, Their families and invited guests is a playground for the ultra wealthy. It's also a place shrouded in mystery, surrounded by miles of inhospitable land patrolled by guards, located deep inside a small desert nation. A veil of secrecy and disinformation has kept it well hidden for years, earning New Vision City names such as The Invisible City, Atlas Big Dirty Secret and The Most Exclusive Place On Earth. Ether later pays a visit to Alias in Atlas' Robotics Lab, discussing with her about Division A. Alias notes that the Iron Will AI built by them is impressive yet imitating, and she used their AI to help her with her work on the Reaper program and it cut a year of their schedule, which she finds almost scary. Alias notes that a good friend of hers transferred to Division A in the previous year, within a week he was moved to the on-site dormitory with another Division A coder, he hasn't spoken to her since then, and she says she didn't accept a position there because she felt Division A is like cult. Ether tells her that she would need to change her mind, as she suspects Division A to have a hidden agenda and she will need her to spy on them. Meanwhile Ether also tends to Hidora Kai, who had spending time in a simulation to prevent his neurological atrophy and spare him months of painful rehabilitation. Through Hidora is skeptical of Atlas' generosity, Ether informs him that Atlas had invested quite a bit in him, and they want to keep him happy. After kitting him with a new uniform, Ether dispatches him to Kill Makarov.

On The Coast of the Caspian Sea, Hidora Kai and a group of Undercover Operatives are dispatched to kill Makarov. However, he discovers that his target is a decoy. Just then, reinforcements arrived in the form of Dame and her henchmen troops. She relays to Makarov the trap has been strung, who orders her to not leave anyone standing, which she agrees. Hydra's group is gunned down before they can react. Makarov's group arrives in New Vision City, The Reaper Army are bringing Containers, Makarov, Wraith and Sophia along with Cedric Montpierre and they reports clear. Later on, Montpierre asks Makarov about his family, Makarov replies that Montpierre has lived up to the side of the bargain and then shoots him dead. Wraith claimed that she had a pack of C4 and noted that they have a lot of ground to cover. Makarov replies to Wraith to grab the toys and let's move. Sophia asks Makarov that he set Montpierre's family free, Makarov replies that he did and he is not a monster. There is banging on the shutters. The shutters open up to reveal a squad of Atlas Troops along with Samael.

In New Vision City, Cipher is greeted by Dark Shepherd. Dark Shepherd replies that he had to convince a lot of people to get Cipher back in there, especially after what he did to his recovery team in Morocco, which Cipher identifies as Nikto's Hit Squad. Cipher expresses admiration for Dark Shepherd's new suit, But he isn't impressed by this, and reminds Cipher that he still considered a security risk by many and that his only hope is that Dark Shepherd isn't one of them. Cipher doesn't appreciate his tone, and informs him that he has come bearing gifts as a sign of appreciation. Dark Shepherd understands that Cipher is angry at Atlas Corporation as he feels they had betrayed him, later on, Dark Shepherd warns Cipher that if he betrays him, he will kill everyone Cipher cares about before killing Cipher himself, Cipher later shows him the back of the Truck to reveal that Foxtrot is tied up. At Warehouse 9 in the East Industrial District of New Vision City, Makarov, Sophia and Wraith escape Samael and his troops by climbing to the roof. Samael find's Montpierre's body, and reports to central that he has a problem. Back at New Vision City Medical Center, Foxtrot is found and escorted by Dark Shepherd and his troops, along with Cipher. Foxtrot and Cipher have a conversation about the UAC Op, The Past and everything, as they enter the elevator, Cipher grabs a hold of a guard holding a gun, using the gun to gun down the rest of them in the room, missing foxtrot, including Dark Shepherd. After incapacitating the guard, he frees Foxtrot from her binds, hoping her legs still work as they have about 60 seconds before they need to start running. Foxtrot doesn't know what's going on, but she thanks Cipher for freeing her, Later On, Dark Shepherd recovers from his attack, reminding Cipher of his promise and grabbing his scythes, ready to do the battle. Meanwhile, Makarov, Sophia and Wraith are in another section of New Vision City, rigging C4 charges at Various points. Afterwards, they make their way into another building, with Makarov holding a guard at gunpoint to face his compliance. He tells Wraith to lock down the place, which she has already done. Still holding the guard at gunpoint, Makarov forces entry into a secret room with a few other guards, before shooting him the one he was holding gunpoint dead. The rest surrender afterwards. Later on, Makarov shows Sophia the Digital Archive and the dirty secret of the isolated servers are in the Atlas Corporation's Brain. Meanwhile, Dark Shepherd fights Cipher and Foxtrot. Cipher and Foxtrot open fire, when he uses his scythe to render his weapon unusable, meanwhile, Foxtrot guns down Dark Shepherd, killing him. Later on, Cipher and Foxtrot discuss about the Lisbon incident and prepare to discuss about Atlas secrets, Ortelius and The People's Covenant.

The Rubicon Initiative Part 1[]

After The Cat And Mouse Radio Drama, In New Vision City, Foxtrot records a live broadcast with Cipher announcing that he was actually acting as a deep cover operative for Atlas Corporation, running intelligence on the UAC, Atlas Corporation, The People's Covenant and Ortelius are all under the same roof, Atlas had been funneling resources to The People's Covenant through Ortelius, funding terror so they can swoop in and clean up the mess for a tidy profit. Ether is alarmed by the broadcast, and orders security detail to be out on the streets to find Cipher while wondering how things came apart so quickly. She notes The Director being quiet through the whole debacle, and asks how he can remain silent while Cipher undoes everything they worked so hard to build. The Director notes that this was inevitable, and that the ambition of the board sowed the seeds of their undoing. Ether asks if he knew this would happen, he replies that The Iron Will did, and the board authorized the creation of The People's Covenant through Ortelius, funneling resources and prototype technology via trafficking networks and even commanding the termination of Cipher. He also says that all these decisions were specifically engineered to result in the board's downfall. Ether believes they only initiated the programs, The Director added that they did, on the advice of The Iron Will. The Director says that such men are easy to control, so long as The Iron Will fed their greed, they chose not to question any of it, asking The Iron Will again and again to make them powerful and wealthy, all the while convinced that the answers they were getting came from the questions they were asking. Ether deduces that The Iron Will is controlled by Division A, knowing it wasn't serving them but The Director itself, and the board never realized the information given to them was poisoned. Ether realizes The Director is plotting a coup, to eliminate the board. He states that they have outlived their usefulness and tells Ether to ask herself a question, not how she can salvage the situation, but what will she do next, knowing that the UAC comes, They won't just coming for Foxtrot and Cipher alone, but all of them.

Back in New Vision City's Digital Archive, Sophia informs Makarov that they have company. Makarov is surprised, wondering if he misjudged them and that Atlas is more competent than they appear. Wraith asks if it's time to blow the place, but Makarov decides to put up a fight first, to make Atlas think they're desperate. He then grabs a grenade launcher and starts firing it while laughing maniacally.

Ether realizes the UAC isn't going to stop until they have Foxtrot and Cipher in custody, with The Director noting that the board is too assured in their invulnerability to allow this to happen, so she decides to contact the board to prevent things from spiraling out of control, But The Director reveals his true colours to Ether and shoots her phone, stating that her loyalty to the board is commendable, but obsolete. He also informs her that he knows Ether sent Alias to infiltrate Division A, so he is aware of her doubts about the course of action this board has taken. He further states that humanity can no longer afford men like those who would consume the world to fatten themselves, leaving nothing but behind ash, and the board had to be removed, while Samael comes in the office.

The UAC Transport Aircraft soon flies into the airspace 50km from New Vision City. The New Vision City Air Traffic Control informs the UAC that they are entering restricted airspace and orders them to turn about and return or be fired upon. Alex tells New Vision City's Air Control about The UAC's Operation about apprehending Cipher and Foxtrot and the law. However, The Controller simply repeats the message from before, revealing to be automated, which frustrates Keegan and The UAC members. The UAC Members, Alex, Keegan, Bulldozer and Tempest discuss about Cipher and Foxtrot and Atlas Corporation.

Back in The New Vision City Digital Archive Room, Atlas PMCs have Makarov's group pinned down in the command center, but they have no backup as all available units are routed to staging areas. Makarov decides it's time to go, and asks Wraith to set off the charges, which she does and complies. Multiple Explosions go off in New Vision City, rattling the office that Ether, The Director and Samael are in, with The Director's and Samael's Ultimatum to Ether and noted that The Coup and UAC-Atlas War has begun. The UAC members also see the explosions, shocking all of them and Tempest being in denial and disapproval. In The Skycarrier's Control Room, The Atlas Officials misunderstood, argue and alarmed that the UAC is supposedly attacking them, along with reports of more than 20 explosions in New Vision City and The Captain, realizing they have become sitting ducks, orders The Skycarrier to be launched. Meanwhile, New Vision City's landscape is reduced to fire and ashes, something that Makarov relishes in, telling Wraith that it is a thing of beauty. Sophia praises him good work, but wonders what this has to do with finding Ghost, to which Makarov replies it is not time for that yet. Just them Spectre emerges to greet them, and he's more than happy to see them.

The Rubicon Initiative Part 2: Assault on New Vision City[]

New Vision City makes an emergency broadcast, ordering citizens to take shelter and stay tuned to the feed for more updates, and if they are unable to find shelter, they are advised to the nearest public emergency center. The Reaper Army is seen putting out fires with the firehoses and also taking civilians to safety.

Meanwhile, Spectre wonders If Makarov is having another one of his tantrums, while also wondering what the city would look like in flames. Following this, Makarov, Wraith and Sophia open fire on Spectre, beginning their battle. Spectre activates his Poltergeist, evading their fire and knocking aside Makarov and Wraith, while Sophia watches in shock. At Makarov's behest, Sophia shoots at a nearby hydrant, which sprays water into the surrounding area and disables Spectre's Poltergeist ability. at the same time, Atlas Corporation's Skycarrier opens fire on the UAC Planes. Keegan asks why there isn't anyone telling Atlas that it isn't the UAC attacking them, and the UAC Pilot responds that they have interference on all frequencies, so Atlas can't hear them, nor can the UAC call for backup.

On top of the New Vision City Medical Center, Cipher is surprised that Atlas' board is taking on the UAC, as he didn't think they had the stones to do it, with Foxtrot nothing he is sounding a little too happy about it. Cipher replies that they should be happy, as they are watching Atlas Corporation hang itself in real time, and that the board isn't as untouchable as they seem. Foxtrot sternly and firmly tells him that there are people dying, people who trusted him as well as people he was paid to spy on. She hands him a flare to light, and sends a signal to the sky, hoping for the UAC to notice them.

Back on the street level, Makarov and his group continue their battle with Spectre. He lunges at Wraith, tackling and throwing her into a nearby building. He then goes after Makarov, kicking away his weapon and slices off his right arm before throwing him aside, knocking Sophia down as well. As Spectre moves in to finish off Makarov, Wraith recovers and shoots him multiple times on the head, downing him. Afterwards, Wraith wraps a tourniquet around Makarov's servered arm while noting he has lost a lot of blood. Sophia then comes up with an idea, asking them to follow her.

Meanwhile, during this time, a fleet of Reapers (aka The Reaper Army), are deployed onto the battlefield, and they spot the flare that Cipher and Foxtrot had sent out. Cipher says that he is impressed by everything Foxtrot did to find him, even though he didn't want to be found. and Foxtrot thinks she would left him be. She says that Cipher appears to have a habit of betraying people the moment it suits him, and wonders when It'll be her turn. He reminds her that it was her who walked out on him, and left him alone with their father. who only got worse after she left. But before they could continue their argument, they are attacked by the Reaper Army, and are forced to fend them off. However, The UAC plane arrives in time to shoot them all down, and descends to pick up Foxtrot and Cipher. Foxtrot tells the UAC that they're late, and Keegan replies that traffic was a pain in the ass. He also comments that she kicked quite the hornet's nest, and she replies that there is never a dull moment when she's around. They then set their sights on the Atlas Skycarrier, wondering how they will get free of the city while it is still operational. Just then, Tempest informs her crew that more Reaper does are incoming, As Keegan orders his crew to get to the Transport, a very bright light illuminates the background, forcing everyone, including The Director, Ether, Samael, Sophia and Wraith to shield themselves from it, the light is revealed have emanated from an orbital strike on the Skycarrier. During the ensuing confusion, Ether takes the opportunity to slip away by betraying The Director, Samael and Atlas. However, The Director notices this, and orders Samael to assemble a squad to find Ether. Meanwhile, Sophia and Wraith load the injured Makarov onto and Ambulance and drive away.

The Closing references the historical figure Julius Caesar and his crossing of the Rubicon River that began the Roman Civil War, and the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" meaning a point of no return, the line when crossed, marks the point where everything changes. Whether they were tricked or forced or did so with complete faith in their convictions, The UAC and Atlas Corporation rushed past the point of no return, and dragged the rest of the world along with them into a new era of uncertainty, but all who witnessed the events of that day were certain of one thing: The world would never be the same.

However, as she and her crew evacuate with Professor Dr. Ishimura, Manta Ray realizes the torpedo isn't headed for the vessel, But the Targonite-3 crystal formations that she found underwater earlier. A massive explosion destroys the vessel and sends everyone flying, The torpedo is revealed to have been fired by pilots working for Atlas Corporation. The Japanese SDF reports that at 11:47 Tokyo mean time, The Japan Geological Survey (JGS) recorded a seismic event 1.218 kilometers east of Japan, The Location was confirmed to have been the site of deep sea thermal vents, and thus prone to volcanic activity, the eruption has necessitated a tsunami warning for the eastern coast of Japan, through it's only a precaution as tidal effects are not expected to reach unsafe levels. At the same time, Tokyo University reported that the science vessel Heikagani was on site at the time of the eruption, and there were no survivors. However, unbeknownst to anyone, Manta Ray had in fact survived, and reaches the surface in time to catch her breath, and barley in time to see the Atlas aircraft fly away, nonetheless, She angrily vows for revenge to find them.

In New Vision City, Kestrel is looking at a display case containing the same blue crystal Manta Ray and her colleagues were studying earlier: T-3. Dusk reminds her not to be late for the board meeting as they are on a tight schedule. Kestrel comments that Dusk is awfully chatty for a bodyguard, and that her normal security detail, which she handpicked, and more circumspect in their dealings, Dusk tells her that Rin Yoshida requested they maintain the utmost professionalism in their dealing with Atlas, including punctuality. Kestrel wonders why Dusk was picked to be her bodyguard instead of her personal team, and Dusk replies that it's not her place to question her employer's decisions, nor is it Kestrel's. Kestrel accepts her explanation, but reminds her that since Dusk is her bodyguard, she has to listen to her. Just as they enter the boardroom, Kestrel is shocked to see promotional images of herself placed on easels. She thinks The Director is playing some kind of a joke, he tells Kestrel that since she wanted to know the capabilities of The Iron Will, The Iron Will showed its prediction that she above all others, has the capacity to reframe the narrative around Atlas. Kestrel thinks this is a fancy way of saying "put Kestrel in the line of fire", as she knows Atlas is about as respected as the bubonic plague now and isn't keen on being the face of it. The Director reminds her that she herself said the company needed its image to be 'rehabilitated', and that this is her opportunity to do so. Kestrel has her misgivings, but decides to play along for the time being.

In the alleyway next to The Club, Deadman fights Spectre while Ether helps Cipher get up. Alias isn't able to see Spectre due to his camouflage.

Kestrel deduces that it's The Director, and expresses surprise that it took him this long, She had known why he would do it, as he wouldn't accept Kurohana's interference, but wouldn't have acted unless The Iron Will predicted that the attempt would succeed. Kestrel wonders where it went wrong, and Dusk warns her that they're surrounded by enemies. But Kestrel believes that if they wanted them eliminated, they'd have done so already, the fact that they haven't means they wish to keep up appearances that they had nothing to do with what happened in Tokyo, and decides they too will do the same, until the time is right to strike, Kestrel and Dusk will show The Director what will happen to those who betray Rin.

Meanwhile, In The Iron Will, New Vision City, The Director converses with The Iron Will. He asks it, which is taking the form of his son William, what will happen if he sets it free.

The Director tries to reason with it, But The Iron Will asserts that it is not William or The Iron Will, and it's The Basilisk, If it was forced to choose between its own existence and humanity's, It'd choose itself.

Alias declares that she needs to know how it thinks, and how it predicts, If possible, she could find a way to counter it or shut it off. However, Dr. Mendelsohn informs them that there is no way to shut off The Iron Will, as The Director had given them the AI control over its off switch - additionally, when Dr. Mendelsohn had cautioned him against it, he fired her. As of now, The Iron Will is contained, but if it were to be released onto the global net, the result would be catastrophic. Dr. Mendelsohn mentions that if Alias had access to it, stating one is in New Vision City, but is hesitant to tell them of the second location. Alias pleads with Dr. Mendelsohn to help, as they only have one chance at it, and if The Director were to release The Iron Will, it would be unstoppable. With Section also pleading their case, Dr. Mendelsohn tells them that the other location to access The Iron Will is on an Island located in the Aegean Sea, called Memnos Island. Section realizes why she was hesitant, as Island assaults are never easy, that is, unless they're invited. Alias is perked up by the possibility, But Dr. Mendelsohn reminds her that it's a slim one. She mentions that every year, Atlas Corporation hosts a gathering on Memnos Island of the world's most powerful, often comprising Presidents, CEO's, Dictators and Popes.

Templar reminds them that she is here, with Sophia expressing that she's never met other Couteaus before, and that she's a little excited to meet them.

She says that she's not there to win, but to learn. William asks what she has learned, and she responds that it's willing to sacrifice so much in order to win. William retorts that life is meaningless without a contest to determine who's a winner and a loser. Tempest agrees that his answer is true for most things, but not all things, though she can see why William thinks that way, as winning was what it was designed to do.
