- "Do you know what an artist and a sniper have in common? Details. Like when a touch of color is out of place. When a shadow does not match with its surroundings. Or when a shape is not where it is supposed to be. The only difference is the stakes. Mine are higher."
— Glaz
Timur "Glaz" Glazkov (Russian: Тимур Глазков) is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.
Biography
Glazkov was born and raised in Vladivostok, Russia where his father worked in the shipping industry. Glazkov studied art in secondary school, until the Beslan school hostage crisis inspired him to transfer to the Cadet Corps and pursue a career in the armed forces.[1]
Psychological Profile
While Timur doesn't thrive in large groups, he is engaging and expressive in one-on-one conversations. He has a patient temperament and can be very introspective. His background as an artist, his curiosity, and attention to detail has trained him to be mindful and precise. This trait makes Timur an excellent spotter and sniper.[2]
Gameplay Description
A Medium Armored Operator, Glaz's unique gadget is an HDS Flip Sight for his OTs-03 marksman rifle. Whilst Aiming Down Sights with it, it also comes with a Thermal Feedback System which can outline long-range marks even through smoke for easier shooting.
- Glaz spawns with the Flip Sight down. Pressing the gadget key will make Glaz flip up the Flip Sight, allowing its effects to apply when aiming down sights on the OTs-03.
- With the Flip Sight on, the OTs-03 has an increased level of zoom when aiming down sights.
- As an additional flip-up sight fitted behind the OTs-03's original sights/optics, the player's original sight reticles are retained when the Flip Sight is on.
- The Flip Sight features a Thermal Feedback System, highlighting any enemy players in sight in bright yellow, even through smoke.
- The Thermal Feedback System is at full strength only when Glaz is standing still. Yellow bars visible on the side of the scope indicate if the Thermal Feedback System is active; when the bars are full, the system is at full strength. When the bars deplete, the system is weakened.
- Any movement will cause the Thermal Feedback System to weaken, reducing the visibility of yellow highlights and the visibility through smoke.
- Continuously turning in one direction for over 90 degrees will cause the Thermal Feedback System to weaken.
- The Thermal Feedback System is deactivated through 2.5 seconds of movement, and fully reactivates if Glaz stands still for around 2.5 seconds.
- The OTs-03 is the only weapon capable of destroying the otherwise bulletproof windows on the Presidential Plane.
- The OTs-03 can penetrate 2 surfaces at once, allows his rifle to pierce through non-reinforced walls (which are made up of two surfaces) with ease.
- Unlike other rifles, the OTs-03 can destroy unreinforced hatches by firing 2-3 shots at them.
Synergies
- Glaz works well with any Attacker that comes equipped with a Smoke Grenade in their arsenal, allowing a wider range of coverage for Glaz to work with.
- Capitão works especially well with Glaz because his Micro Smoke Grenades cover a much larger area than normal Smoke Grenades.

- Glaz (Russian: Глаз) means "eye" in Russian, this coincides with his stealth and marksmanship.
