General

Soap's blood type is O+. Though Soap's biography in Multiplayer states that his name is "Johnny MacTavish," Ghost is so far the only known character to repeatedly refer to him as Johnny. Graves also calls him Johnny, but only once. This occurs during Ghost Team, while Soap and Rodolfo attempt to destroy his tank. Soap's backstory contains references to the campaign of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and its remastered variant, mainly the events of "F.N.G" and "Crew Expendable."Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Soap can speak Russian, as he said: "Show your hands" in Russian to Makarov in Flashpoint. During the credits, there is a picture of Soap shown in the background wearing an outfit similar to his original counterpart's outfit from the missions Back on the Grid and Return To Sender in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The "Hector BlackCell" skin's description, "Well, I wasn't in that tunnel", is a reference to a similar line said by Phillip Graves when he explained how he survived his apparent death.

They managed to free the Vaqueros and escape, with the help of Price and Gaz. The team was then informed of the truth behind Shadow Company's betrayal by Laswell.

Stopping Graves and Hassan

Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros formed a new joint group, Joint Task Force - Ghost Team, and launched an assault on the Fuerza Especiales HQ. Soap and Rodolfo eventually caught up with Graves, who commandeered a tank to kill both of them. Using explosives and other equipment on the training grounds, Soap managed to destroy the tank, believing that Graves perished along with it.

After the team retrieved Valeria, she revealed that Hassan was in Chicago with the last missile. Task Force 141 bade farewell to Alejandro and the Vaqueros, and headed to Chicago to stop Hassan once and for all. Soap, Price and Gaz infiltrated the building where Hassan was located, while Ghost provided overwatch. The missile launched to their dismay, heading toward Washington. Eventually, the team caught up to Hassan, and Soap grabbed the control case and hid from Hassan and Al-Qatala forces. With Laswell's help, Soap stopped the missile, but Hassan grabbed him and almost executed him before Ghost intervened by sniping him from afar.

Some times later, while celebrating in a bar, Laswell informed Task Force 141 that the Ultranationalists were behind the attack on Shadow Company that resulted in the missiles being stolen. Price quickly identified Makarov as their leader.

Meeting El Sin Nombre

Despite the successful capture, Task Force 141 is forced to release Hassan to avoid a political fallout. However, they planted a tracker on Hassan's phone, allowing Price and Gaz to follow up on him. Meanwhile, Soap, Ghost, Alejandro and Shadow Company acquired intel on a cartel estate party where the Las Almas Cartel leader El Sin Nombre might be. Soap infiltrated the estate claiming to have information. He was interrogated by the enforcers Diego Salgado and Valeria Garza, then was told to wait upstairs, where he linked up with an undercover Alejandro. They would later capture Valeria, after discovering her to be El Sin Nombre, and take her to the Fuerzas Especiales HQ.Stopping the missile

Valeria informed Task Force 141 that the missile was on an oil rig in the ocean, prompting them to infiltrate it alongside Graves and Shadow Company troops to find the missile and controls. Soap and Ghost swept the rig, but the missile controls were actually on the ship, leading Soap and Graves to go to the ship by boat and push up to the bridge through the containers. They managed to clear the bridge, and Soap and Graves found the missile control set just as the missile started launching, but with Graves' instructions, Soap managed to make the missile hit the oil rig, with the oil rig team escaping just in time.Betrayed

As the team returned to Fuerzas Especiales HQ, Graves announced a hostile takeover of the HQ on Shepherd's orders, with the Vaqueros in the base detained. A firefight broke out, with Ghost and an injured Soap escaping while Alejandro was captured. Later, under Ghost's remote instructions, Soap recovered and managed to evade Shadow Company troops, before reuniting with him and escaping to Alejandro's safehouse. The two met with Alejandro's second-in-command, Rodolfo Parra, and discuss their plan to break into the prison.After making their plans to extract Alejandro and Los Vaqueros, Soap, Ghost and Rudy infiltrated the prison.

Operation [REDACTED]

On May 22nd, 2022, Soap was deployed to Zaravan once more, accompanied by operators Manoel "Hammer" dos Santos and Void, to investigate a chemical bomb threat in Popov Power. Despite their attempt to defuse the bomb, it was too late to be stopped, and the operators had to escape before the bombs detonated, with unknown casualties. Later, Soap learned that there were additional bombs placed in Tokyo and Paris.[Canonical?]

Missiles Crisis

Raid in Al Mazrah

In October 2022, Soap and Ghost were tasked with apprehending Hassan Zyani, who declared war on the US for the death of General Ghorbrani. Alongside a squad of MARSOC marines, they boarded a helicopter and landed in a field in Al Mazrah, the transport helicopter being shot down shortly afterwards. At Ghost's orders, the squad cleared out a building attacking the crash site and then they go to the crash site. Soap, Ghost and the crash survivor defended the crash site from AQ soldiers and vehicles with help from Kilo 0-1. The team then went to clear another building, but on the way they were attacked by snipers, whom Soap killed with his EBR-14. They cleared the building but didn't find Hassan, but instead found a missile container carrying American ballistics missiles.Assault in Las Almas

After learning that Hassan escaped into Las Almas with the help of the local cartel, Soap and Ghost linked up with Colonel Alejandro Vargas and his squad, Los Vaqueros. They went through the town searching for Hassan. After being attacked by the Mexican Army, Soap, Ghost and Alejandro lured them through the mountain trails and down the river while the other Vaqueros escaped, with Shadow Company Commander Phillip Graves arriving and supporting them shortly after via a gunship. The squad regrouped at a possible location of Hassan, and they assaulted the compound with help from the Shadow Company gunship. They captured Hassan and drove to another town, where they were again ambushed by the Mexican Army/cartel

At some point, Task Force 141 returned to Bunker 11 in Verdansk, where they found that Zakhaev's body was gone. Though he was declared dead, rumors began to circulate about his survival.

Dark Aether Saga

Joining Operation Deadbolt

Several months after the events in Verdansk, in 2021, Zakhaev turned up in Zaravan, Urzikstan, where he unleashed a zombie incursion after breaking open a vial of Aetherium. Soap was called on to investigate the incursion, as part of Operation Deadbolt, working alongside Laswell, former Spetsnaz captain Sergei Ravenov and SSO Selma Greene. Soap often oversaw Operators working for the faction, tackling Terminus Outcomes resources, such as their weapon stashes, and their bases, in order to weaken their foothold on the city.

Shortly after joining the operation, Soap discussed with Laswell regarding the inclusion of Ravenov, whose records were heavily redacted with barely any identifiable details. Fearing a possible liability, Soap asked for permission to handle Ravenov at his own discretion, should the worst case scenario happen. Laswell approved for him to do so. Later, while training at a firing range, Soap and Ravenov had a friendly banter, ending with a competition, allowing Soap to slightly warm up to Ravenov.Recruiting Ava Jansen

Eventually, Deadbolt operators found encrypted messages from one of Zakhaev's associates, Doctor Ava Jansen, who wished to be extracted from Zaravan. After the Deadbolt strike team rescued Jansen, she was interrogated by Soap, Ravenov, and Greene. Jansen offered her services to Deadbolt, and suggested they build an Aetherium neutralizer device in order to stop Zakhaev's plan. An operation to test-run the neutralizer was later performed, with Soap partaking and providing background support. Though the test was a success, Jansen requested for more time and resources to improve the neutralizer, as it only worked on flawed Aetherium at the time.

Soap later received a Gallantry Medal, the Victoria Cross, and the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross after an operation in Urzikstan during which his patrol was attacked by Al-Qatala. After the heavy machine gun malfunctioned, Soap stripped the weapon and reassembled it before firing 150 single shots, re-cocking the gun for every round. Soap claimed however that "any and all of his comrades would have done the same thing".[2]

In 2016, Soap almost faced disciplinary action for punching a Military Police officer, knocking him out and locking him in his own vehicle. No charge were filed to avoid embarrassment for the officer.[2]

Encountering Makarov

On April 6, 2019, Soap was deployed to Verdansk, Kastovia, alongside Price and several other SAS operatives, to stop Vladimir Makarov and his Inner Circle crew from terrorizing Verdansk Stadium. Makarov was captured and taken to a helicopter, where Soap, Price, Simon "Ghost" Riley and US General Herschel Shepherd interrogated him, before realizing his real target was the airport, which saw numerous explosions shortly after. Angered, Soap attempted to kill Makarov, but Price stopped him from doing so.Task Force 141

Following the death of General Roman Barkov in November 2019, and under the oversight of General Shepherd, Price established a new joint operations task force called Task Force 141 with the help of CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell. Soap was handpicked for this new task force by Price, alongside Ghost and Gaz.Death of Victor Zakhaev

Following the fall of Armistice in Verdansk due to Victor Zakhaev's actions, Task Force 141 was charged to hunt the Ultranationalist who remained hidden in the Kastovian city. After having tracked his location, Price caught Zakhaev and neutralized him before he could launch an ICBM towards the United States. Although Soap wasn't directly involved with the death of Zakhaev, he was still in the region and contacted Price not long after as "things were heating up" off of the city's coast.

Early life and career

Born in Scotland in the United Kingdom, John MacTavish was a lifelong football fan often playing as a goalkeeper.[2]

One day, MacTavish was invited by his cousin, a member of the 23 Regiment of the Special Air Service, to see how it was like to be in the British Army. Afterwards, MacTavish often visited his cousin on weekends. When he was 16, he tried several times to enroll in the SAS and while he lied about his age, he was caught every time.[2]

After his 18th birthday, MacTavish officially joined selection for the 22 Regiment, an elite squadron specialized in covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and hostage rescues. In 2014, while training in Hereford, MacTavish's evaluator was Captain John Price. Recognizing his natural skills, exceptional proficiency and relentless dedication, Price became tough and strict with MacTavish to make him the best trainee. MacTavish was also trained as a sniper and demolitions expert. His remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance and urban warfare earned him the nickname "Soap".[2]When selection came, MacTavish passed it with the highest possible marks on all 3 phases of the course, coming just a few seconds behind the record holder, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick. He became the youngest candidate to pass the SAS selection in the British Army history, earning him the reputation of a perpetual FNG.[2]For his first mission, Soap joined Price's Bravo Team, traveling to the Bering Strait to secure a cargo manifest for potential WMDs. While Soap retrieved the manifest, but the vessel was scuttled by Russian aircrafts forcing the team to leave.Being the last to exfil, Soap almost fell to his death if not for Price pulling him to safety. Soap felt indebted to Price ever since. After this mission, Soap continued to carry out covert and overt operations worldwide.[2]
