Captain Lieutenant Radoslav Barkov is a minor antagonist in the 2016 video game Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. He is an SDF member, the captain of the SDF Galaxius, and the man responsible for the abduction of UNSA personnel.
Biography[]
SDF Career[]
Captain Lieutenant Radoslav Barkov was a die-hard SDF member who fought in the Secession Wars, a series of wars waged by SDF leaders Salen Kotch and Caleb Thies to break away from Earth. After the SDF finally defeated the Earth forces, Barkov was put in charge of the Dire Brigade, an infamous group made up of the most sick, evil, depraved, vicious criminals of the SDF.
Operation Taken Dagger[]
During the war against the UNSA, Barkov abducts four UNSA engineers and steals a powerful weapon from the UNSA Europa black site, keeping both on board the Galaxius. As a result, Captain Nick Reyes of the UNSA Retribution launches Operation Taken Dagger to assault the Galaxius and regain the weapon. After Barkov's forces fail to repel Reyes' strike team, Barkov and his men take the hostages down to the ship's cargo hold and accesses the ship's terminal after Reyes enters the bridge, showing him footage of him and his men standing over the hostages, who have been forced onto their knees with their heads bagged, threatening to execute them if Reyes doesn't surrender. However, this prompts Reyes and his strike team to storm the cargo hold, resulting in Barkov, his guards and one of the hostages being killed in the crossfire. (Alternatively, all four UNSA hostages can be saved if Reyes takes a stealth approach.)
