Background
Russell Adler, along with other characters from Black Ops Cold War, was created with the Black Ops Cold War Universe by The Creator. When he first met The Creator, at first Adler thought that The Creator was a Soviet spy "tampering with the universe" but after listening to The Creator's explanation, Adler understood the situation, knowing that he was a character created in the DreamWorld. Later on, Adler became best friends with The Creator. While The Creator is away from the DreamWorld, Adler's task is to oversee any Nightmare Disturbances in any universe and investigate and neutralize it immediately with the help of his US Marines or his CIA team.
