I will put a spoiler warning just to be safe.

SPOILERS FOR CAMPAIGN OF BO6.

Here is my theory: Case is Adler's kid.

Here is my evidence:

1) Adler worked at the lab that Case was at, the same time Case was there.

2) Adler is very trusting of Case and can be seen joking, and even calling him kid (Assuming Case is in his 30s.)

3. Why would Adler's file showing the children part redacted? (It could be a nod to Harrow, but that some mental gymnastic.)

but the Red Door specifically was Bell’s defense against brainwashing.

and thanks to Season 6’s intro, we know the destruction of the Verdansk station was beneficial to the CIA, but not for the Perseus Faction, meaning Adler, who’s hinted to be behind it, acted on someone else’s order. It’s not a new concept of someone intercepting brainwashing, Viktor Reznov did the exact same thing in BO1 for his own revenge plot against Kravchenko, Dragovich, and Steiner. It fucks you up, but as evidenced by Mason, there is hope of recovery.

But who in the Perseus Faction would want to sabatoge the progression of Stitch? Maybe the one that lost the most.

I’m putting down the theory of Bell surviving the assassination just as Adler did, but they’re only sabatoging Perseus because they want to send a message not to abandon one of their own.

Yes, it’s true Perseus had been looking for Bell, but it was a “Dead Or Alive” deal. And Volkov wasn’t too keen on the “alive” part, (e.g: “Only a grave can cure a hunchback.”)

I like to think this is Bell’s way of saying, “You can’t get rid of me so easily.”

Adler appears shocked of what he's done, since it's strange since you would think he would be kinda happy that he did something Stich didn't want. Then Mason tells him, that it wasn't him, probably meaning that he had no control over his actions during his time in Verdansk, so it's clear that someone else got Adler to do it, since they knew that would be the first person Stich would blame... so who is that who?

Is it possible a certain gender bender mute, that made Adler do it. Since we saw a red door, during a specific red door scene that is seen in campaign. You know where there a jungle and a red door, plus videos of war going on a TV. I'll get to the point, I think it could be Bell, yeah they are probably dead, but they seem like the only one likely, sure they probably are mad at Adler for the brainwashing and shooting them , bu hey maybe these to met and talked things out, besides maybe Bell is tired of being forgotten and knew of what Stich was doing was bad, just like in the Canon ending they probably knew Perseus nuking all of Europe was bad. But this is just my idea, it's probably not Canon but remember folks, it's a theory a
