"I think it's time you woke up don't you?" - John Taylor
John Taylor is the tritagonist of Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
He is voiced by Christopher Meloni.
Taylor is the Commander of the Winslow Accord Black Cyber Ops. He ended up being under the influence of Corvus, an A.I. created by bugs from within the Direct Neural Interface. After being killed by Hendricks, Taylor's personality and memory remained in the DNI of the Player, and assist him/her in stopping Corvus.
It is later revealed that the player actually dies, but his/her conciousness ends up reliving Taylor's missions (in which the missions involving hunting down Taylor's team was actually Taylor and Hendricks hunting down their former teammate Dylan Stone and his team). When Taylor finds Stone, he was severely injured. After Stone's death, he was selected for Bio-Augmentation and was joined by Sebastian Diaz, Sarah Hall, and Peter Meretti. The latter three die after Corvus infects them. Eventually, the player dies, causing Hendricks to launch a terrorist attack. Hendricks kills Coalescence head Sebastian Krueger, which forces Taylor's hand to kill Hendricks. He was able to fight Corvus, possible due to being a glitch himself in Corvus' system, and wiped him from existance.
