Cordis Die is the main antagonistic faction in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Although it portrayed itself as a militant populist movement, its true purpose was as a tool for Raul Menendez to take revenge against the United States of America for its numerous transgressions against him.
The movement was created on 22 June 2014 and spread rapidly thanks to the charisma of Menendez, who was operating under the aliases, Odysseus and Ulysses. With none aware of its leader’s identity, Cordis Die gained a global following thanks to social media, even attracting armed groups like the Mercs and Yemeni Militia. Shortly after its creation, Cordis Die launched major riots in Iran and North Korea.
In 2025, Cordis Die successfully launched a cyber attack on China, causing 1 billion dollars to drop from the Chinese stock market. Believing that the United States was behind the attack, China leveraged its economic power against its rival, causing the value of the dollar to drop and launching a second Cold War. Deciding to bring an end to Menendez’s reign of terror, the American government deployed a squad of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operatives to capture him.
The squad successfully stopped Cordis Die from taking control of the American drone fleet and captured Menendez before executing him. Shortly after his death, a video of Menendez was uploaded to YouTube wherein he called for his followers to launch a global revolution, spreading anarchy across the globe.
By the time of 2065, Cordis Die seemed to have died out as a movement.
Battle vs. League of Shadows (Nolanverse) (by MovieStuff65)[]
No battle will be written.
Winner: Cordis Die
Expert's Opinion[]
While the League of Shadows' dedicated training and skill was a devastating factor, Cordis Die was simply too well-armed for them to take this fight. Bane's tactical and fighting skills were definitely a mighty barrier, but Menendez's charisma was more than enough to counter that. With the better leader and logistics, Cordis Die managed to take this fight.
