Ice! Wake the hell up!
― Tarasov after Morozov's death
Senior Sergeant Morozov (nicknamed Ice) is a minor character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Background[]
Morozov is the designated marksman of Captain Tarasov's strike team. As with the rest of the team, he was part of the Stingray 3 crew. After the helicopter crashed in Zaton, he and the rest of the squad made it to Pripyat with the help of a stalker named Noah.
Appearances[]
Call of Pripyat[]
Morozov appears in Pripyat, backing up Tarasov when Major Degtyarev and his squad escape the Jupiter Underground. He has no speaking role.
Morozov stays in the Laundromat until the player opts to assist Tarasov in capturing the unidentified weapon. When they move out, he's given an SVUmk-2 and ordered to cover the squad from a maintenance building between the two apartment blocks. The initial ambush proceeds flawlessly, but as the Major and Tarasov investigate the corpses, the Preacher appears on a rooftop above, launching a counter-attack. Morozov is killed instantly when the Preacher opens fire.

Trivia[]
- Morozov, unlike Tarasov, Valentyr and Podorozhny, cannot be saved. This is because the Preacher is scripted to have unlimited health until he snipes Morozov. His death is also scripted: no matter where he is, the Preacher will always hit him with his first shot, even if the player uses a glitch to have Morozov staying behind the maintenance building.
- Morozov often notices the Preacher, and will sometimes take aim, but never gets a shot off.
