Captain John Price #6

Simply known as John Price, John Price, who served with the 22nd SAS Regiment, has spent most of his career fighting in the shadows. He's been shot at, captured, deserted, blown up, locked up, tortured, and left for dead. A veteran of military operations in almost every conflict-prone corner of the world, Price has distinguished himself through acts of bravery and intrepidity. His achievements have become part of the regiment's history. Price joined the infantry at the age of 16 and has served in the British Army for 18 years. One of the youngest cadets to graduate from the Royal Military Academy as a commissioned officer, he completed Special Service Command selection and was a "badged" member of the SAS, proving his worth in countless covert operations across multiple deployments to the Middle East. Promoted to captain in 2011, callsign "Bravo Six," Price is the commanding officer of a highly effective, counter-terrorism and counter-hijacking unit specializing in close-quarters combat, sniper techniques, and hostage rescue. His unofficial mission is to capture or kill high-value targets. Blessed with extraordinary instincts and boundless determination, Captain Price is an unparalleled combat tracker, known for excelling in a fluid and volatile environment. An elite search and strike expert, Price is adept at a wide range of field skills and tactical capabilities.

From airborne shock trooper to long-range reconnaissance operator, Captain Price is a covert operator—in the jungle, desert, and city—a sniper and saboteur. With a knack for developing and maintaining ties with foreign fighters worldwide, earning goodwill through trust, Captain Price works closely with Western intelligence agencies assigned to aggressively pursue HVTs. His counter-terrorism squad is on call to mobilize anywhere in Europe with immediate readiness. Price believes that every soldier's duty is to fight for the greater good: "The rules of engagement don't change, but their justification does." Price always fights for what is right, but he knows that right is not always what is being fought for. He has often said, "What is a terrorist to one man is a freedom fighter to another." Sometimes unpredictable and unrestrained, John Price has a golden rule of his own: "We get dirty, and the world stays clean." Although he's an officer, Captain Price has always preferred the company of a private. John often tells new recruits, "All it takes to change the course of history... is the will of a single man or woman." Not one to shy away from making a rogue move or entering into an unholy alliance to get the job done, John has a deep, if often strained, relationship with the system. Like Sergeant Garrick, Price seems to hate being tied to rules or procedures, and sometimes takes drastic action on his own, often against orders.

Early career: While still a lieutenant, Price took part in an assassination attempt against ultranationalist politician Imran Zakhaev, under the command of then-Captain MacMillan, in Pripyat, Ukraine. The attempt failed. In 2009, now in command of Bravo Unit, Lieutenant Price was informed of a Russian chemical laboratory in Urzikstan by a Major "Karim" of the Urzikstan Liberation Force; acting on it, the SAS launched a raid on the facility, and Price helped assist Major Farah Karim. By helping her up, the group saved a group of prisoners in the laboratory, including Karim's brother, Hadir. He then instructed both Farah and Hadir to set up camp in the mountains, away from the Russians and their commanding officer, General Roman Barkov.

During a mission, Captain Price was contacted by CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell about a failed CIA mission to secure Russian chemical gas in Verdansk, which left several Marines dead. Given the risk that the gas could be deployed anywhere in the West, Price agreed to assist while he finishes his current mission. The following day, on October 25, several Al-Qatala-affiliated terrorists launched a terrorist attack in Piccadilly Circus, Central London, with Metropolitan Police Service and CTSFO units struggling to contain the attacks. Bravo Team was called in to assist in securing the area. Captain Price's unit assisted in containing the attacks and saved Sergeant Kyle Garrick from an Al-Qatala fighter inside an electronics store. Along with Garrick, Price cleared the building, though they were unable to save a hostage who was forced to wear an explosive vest. Price pushed the hostage with the vest from the second floor to save the others from its inevitable detonation. After securing Piccadilly Circus, Garrick informed Price that the MPS had actionable intelligence on the terrorist cell, but could not take any such action in order to maintain public calm; armed with the information, Price took Garrick under his command. Two days after the Piccadilly attacks, SAS units under Price's command dismantled a terrorist cell in a terraced house in Camden Town, North London. There, the SAS found a "gold mine" of Al-Qatala information and the current location of Al-Qatala leader Omar "The Wolf" Sulaman.

Using information obtained during the raid on the London house, US Marines and CIA officer "Alex" captured Omar Sulaman at Rammaza Hospital in Urzikstan the next day and took him to the US Embassy in Urzikstan for interrogation and extraction with the SAS. However, Al-Qatala's second-in-command, The Butcher, massed Al-Qatala forces outside the Embassy, ​​outnumbering the Marines. Price and Garrick were en route in a Black Hawk to extract Sulaman, but were shot down by an RPG as Al-Qatala stormed the Embassy and began killing indiscriminately. Price survived the crash and continued on with Garrick to rejoin the Marines. Price held Garrick during The Butcher's intimidation attempts, which included the murder of a father and young son. Price assured Garrick that they would eventually capture The Butcher. The pair then managed to clear a path to the Embassy's security room, where they reunited with Alex and Farah, who had secured Sulaman. Price led Farah, Alex, and the allied units escorting Sulaman to the ambassador's residence, while Garrick assisted the ambassador's aide to safety. Outnumbered, Price's group and the remaining Marines held off the Al-Qatala forces as best they could with the aid of illumination rounds from a mortar and a drone provided by Laswell; however, they were unable to prevent Al-Qatala from recapturing Sulaman. Due to the situation, Price split his assets to try to prevent The Wolf from escaping; Alex and Farah set out onto the Highway of Death to intercept The Wolf. Price and Garrick arrived after Hadir had stolen and used Russian poison gas in a chemical attack with the aid of Al-Qatala forces. Price found Alex and Farah barely alive in a bunker, both enraged by Hadir's betrayal.

As the situation further unraveled, Laswell gave Bravo Team the authority to execute The Wolf, The Butcher, and Hadir; Bravo, with Price leading the charge, launched an assault on The Wolf's compound in Takkari, Urzikstan. Price and Garrick secured the compound with SAS and CIA forces, while Alex and Farah found The Wolf and killed him. Due to the chemicals still being missing and Hadir's recent involvement with Al-Qatala, the United States had listed Farah's Urzikstan Liberation Force as a terrorist threat, inciting the ire of Price, who threatened Marine Colonel Norris for the decision.

Information obtained during the raid on The Wolf's compound suggested that Al-Qatala, with the assistance of Hadir, was planning another terrorist attack in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Price argued with Laswell over whether to warn Moscow or let the attack go ahead, before Price presented his own plans: an unauthorized "black" operation to capture Hadir and The Butcher in Russia with the assistance of one of Price's FSB contacts. Price then allowed Garrick to join him, arguing that he was ready for that type of operation. In Saint Petersburg, Price and Garrick managed to connect with Price's FSB contact, Nikolai, who provided them with silenced weaponry and assistance in the field. When The Butcher attempted to escape, Price and Garrick pursued him and killed several Al-Qatala operatives, until Nikolai hit The Butcher with a van, stopping him. Price then secured The Butcher inside the van while Garrick held off as they approached Al-Qatala. After escaping, the group took The Butcher to a warehouse for interrogation. Due to The Butcher's uncooperative nature, Price had Nikolai capture The Butcher's wife and child as bargaining chips for information, which he later divulged under pressure when his family was threatened. After discovering that Hadir had relocated to General Barkov's personal estate in Moldova with Al-Qatala's help, Price and Garrick left to find Hadir. At the estate, Price surveilled Garrick while discovering several tortured interrogation victims, who turned out to be Barkov's relatives. When Garrick learned that Hadir was inside the estate's mansion, Price regrouped with him and moved to the main house to secure Hadir and leave with him, narrowly escaping Barkov's forces.

After obtaining Hadir and the plans for Barkov's chemical plant in Georgia, Price was met on the way back by Laswell and a group of marines. Laswell informed Price that Russia wanted Hadir in its custody, and the United States agreed to this to avoid a potential diplomatic crisis; Hadir was to be transferred to Russia. Price, annoyed and frustrated by this, agreed to hand over Hadir, but kept the information about the gas plant.

Acting on information acquired in the previous operation, Bravo Team recruited Farah, Alex, and the Urzikstan Liberation Force to help destroy the Barkov Gasworks in Georgia. With assistance from Laswell via an IAV, an armed UAV, and remote explosives provided by Nikolai, the team assaulted the Barkov Gasworks. The team split in two; Price and Garrick would bomb the pipeline while Farah and Alex would go inside and blow up the furnace inside. Price and Garrick successfully planted their explosives, but Alex, with his remote detonator broken, decided to sacrifice his life to detonate his explosives manually. Price, Garrick, and the Urzikstan Liberation Force escape after destroying the chemical lab.

Following the gas lab attack, Russia officially disowned Roman Barkov, his forces, and their actions. Some time later, Price asked General Shepherd for personnel files on several Special Forces individuals. Laswell met with Price to discuss the files, and Price wanted to create a task force to tie up loose ends. Originally, Laswell refused, leading Price to threaten to leave. Laswell changed his mind and informed Price that Victor Zakhaev, the son of Imran Zakhaev, was gaining power; stopping Zakhaev would be one of the task force's first missions. Price officially recruits Garrick (now known as Gaz), Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, and Simon Riley, and names the team Task Force 141. Shortly after Price assembled Task Force 141, Laswell informed Nikolai and Price that a new individual had seized control of Al-Qatala and gained new resources that greatly fortified Al-Qatala's military and led to its occupation of Verdansk. Sergeant Kamarov of the FSB, another contact of Price's, then reported that the West and Russia would cooperate to take down this new threat. Price, Nikolai, Laswell, and Kamarov gathered their agents and began their attempt to stop Al-Qatala once again.

Personality: Grumpy, but a good man, and a gentleman. Price is a 38-year-old, grumpy old soldier who's been through a lot. His idea of ​​fun is rudely insulting his friends. But his disposition never stops him from doing his job. As he says: "All it takes to change the course of history is the will of a single man or woman." This mythical, grumpy, and loud-mouthed character is undoubtedly a perfect time traveler who's always there to give us orders, yell at us, kill some enemies, scream at us, and, of course, smoke a good cigar.

Smoking. During missions, he can often be seen enjoying a cigar. His favorite brand is Villa Clara's.

In the Modern Warfare reboot, Captain John Price is portrayed as a charismatic and pragmatic leader who operates under a gray but firm moral code. Unlike previous versions, this Price delves deeper into the idea that to keep the world "clean," someone must be willing to "get their hands dirty."

Their personality is defined by the following main traits:

Paternalistic Leadership and Mentoring: He acts as a guiding figure for his team, especially Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, whom he takes under his wing. He is fiercely loyal to his subordinates and close allies such as Kate Laswell and Farah Karim.

Radical Pragmatism: Possesses unwavering determination and believes that "the rules of engagement don't change, but their justification does." Is willing to disregard official orders or procedures if deemed necessary for global security.

Instinct and Experience: He is described as an unparalleled combat tracker with almost supernatural instincts. He is able to remain calm in volatile environments and is adept at forging bonds with foreign guerrillas to accomplish his missions.

Sarcastic Humor and Cynicism: Although he is serious and sometimes intimidating, he maintains a dry and acidic sense of humor that he uses to relieve tension or to affectionately "insult" his colleagues.

Sense of Duty vs. Justice: Although he fights for the "greater good", he is aware that what is right does not always coincide with the political objectives of his superiors.

Captain Jonathan Price in the Modern Warfare reboot is defined as a pragmatic, cunning, and morally ambiguous leader. He retains the charisma of the classic Price but adopts a more realistic and gritty antihero mentality, adapted to modern asymmetric warfare.

Radical Utilitarianism: Their philosophy is summed up in their golden rule: "We get dirty so the world stays clean." They are willing to cross ethical lines (such as using brutal interrogation methods) if it prevents a global catastrophe. Independent Mindset: They despise bureaucracy and restrictive political rules. They prefer to operate on their own terms and "draw the line where necessary" to accomplish the mission, frequently working outside the system.

Empathetic and protective leader: Despite his gruff and sarcastic exterior, he acts as a genuine mentor and father figure to younger soldiers like Kyle "Gaz" Garrick and John "Soap" MacTavish. He displays deep loyalty and empathy toward his subordinates and close allies, such as Farah Karim. Unwavering and optimistic: He possesses iron will in the face of desperate situations. Facing massive armies or threats, he maintains an unshakeable confidence that inspires his squad, Task Force 141.

Stoic character: He is a calculating veteran, of few words but with iconic phrases, who channels his anger strategically rather than impulsively.

Unwavering and optimistic

His optimism isn't blind, but tactical. In the worst-case scenarios—ambushes, betrayals, or being outnumbered—Price never shows panic or doubt. He exudes absolute confidence that there's always a way out or a way to counterattack. This calm under fire is his greatest leadership tool, as it allows his squad to maintain discipline when all seems lost.

Stoic character

Decades of combat have buried his superficial emotions. Price processes the pain of casualties and betrayal in silence, transforming grief into operational focus. He speaks in short, direct sentences, laced with irony or military wisdom. His body language and constant use of a cigar reflect a man who has seen it all and is impossible to intimidate.

Radical Utilitarianism

Price understands modern warfare not as a traditional battlefront, but as a web of hidden threats. His moral compass is guided by the end result: saving innocent lives justifies any personal or ethical cost. He doesn't revel in cruelty, but he carries it out coldly if it's effective. He considers keeping his hands "clean" a luxury a true protector cannot afford.

Independent Mindset

For Price, military bureaucracy and political treaties are obstacles that terrorists exploit. He is an operative who prefers to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. He possesses a network of clandestine contacts and allies operating outside international law. This autonomy allows him to make critical decisions in seconds, ignoring orders from his superiors if they jeopardize global security.

Empathetic and protective leader

Unlike other cold commanders, Price becomes emotionally invested in his team. He doesn't see his soldiers as expendable pieces, but as his direct responsibility. With Gaz and Soap, he balances military demands with life lessons, shaping them to survive the harsh realities of the profession. His support for Farah Karim's cause demonstrates that his loyalty lies with the people fighting for justice, not with the flags they hold.

In the Modern Warfare reboot, Captain John Price's physical appearance was updated to give him a much more realistic, rugged, and weathered look, worn by years of combat. His main features are:

*Height and weight: He is 1.88 meters (6'2") tall and weighs approximately 93 kg (205 lbs). He is noticeably taller and more muscular than in the original trilogy.

• Physique: His build is athletic, robust, and solid. He possesses the functional musculature and broad back typical of a top-tier, veteran special forces operative.

Face and eyes: He has intense blue eyes with a fixed, cold gaze, known as the "thousand-yard stare." His features are mature, asymmetrical, and weathered. Hair and beard: His hair is brown with visible gray at the temples due to his age (around 35-40 years old in this universe). He has a short military haircut, a receding hairline, and his signature facial hair combines his iconic thick mustache with a short, scruffy beard.

Iconic attire: He is rarely seen without his misshapen boonie hat, which casts a constant shadow over his eyes. He typically wears dark tactical vests, rolled-up combat shirts, and operational camouflage trousers. His final, inseparable accessory is a cigar in his mouth during moments of rest.

For this reboot, his design and movements were modeled directly after British actor Barry Sloane, who gave him that imposing physical presence on the battlefield.

Bureaucracy and politics: He detests slow chains of command, official paperwork, and diplomatic restrictions that prevent timely action against immediate global threats. Restrictive "rules of engagement": He hates being tied down by ethical regulations when confronting terrorists who play by no rules. For him, international law sometimes shields criminals.

Betrayal and disloyalty: This is what infuriates him most. Any officer, ruler, or ally who sells out their own men or breaks a pact for personal gain immediately becomes his primary target for elimination. Unnecessary sacrifice: While he accepts tactical cruelty, he abhors losing soldiers due to poor strategic decisions or the whims of high-ranking government officials.

Blind extremism: He deeply despises radical leaders (such as Vladimir Makarov or Roman Barkov) who justify massacres of innocent civilians under nationalist or ideological narratives.

Days off would be peaceful and domestic, far removed from the chaos. She would enjoy long evenings sharing a drink, listening to classical music or soft jazz in the background, and conversing in hushed tones while smoking a cigar on the porch. It would be a relationship where personal space is respected, but the connection is deep and mature.

A romantic relationship with Captain Jonathan Price in the reboot would be intense, unconditional, and emotionally complex, marked by the weight of his military life and his hyperprotective instincts. As a man who operates in the shadows, his way of loving would not be traditional or public, but rather a private refuge of absolute loyalty.

This is how the dynamic would be next to him:

Absolute and possessive protection: His greatest fear would be that his lifestyle would put you in danger. He would constantly ensure your safety, teaching you self-defense or monitoring your surroundings. If you are safe, he has peace. A refuge of vulnerability: Price is a stoic man who carries the trauma of war. With you, he would let his guard down. The relationship would be the only place where he would allow himself to be tired, to be silent, to lower his guard, and to show his emotional wounds.

Love in the small details: Don't expect grand romantic speeches or effusive public displays of affection. His love would be shown in quiet actions: making you tea in the morning, leaving you a handwritten note before a long mission, or simply holding your hand firmly on the sofa. The constant shadow of absence: The biggest obstacle would be his work. Price disappears for weeks or months without being able to tell you where he is or if he's coming back. You would live with the anxiety of a call in the middle of the night, and he would live with the guilt of putting you through that.

Unwavering loyalty: If Price commits to you, it's forever. His sense of honor extends to his personal life: he's a man of his word, incapable of betraying your trust or abandoning you when things get tough.

4. His pride and self-control

If he experiences legitimate jealousy (for example, if he feels you're spending too much time with a coworker or close friend), his first reaction will be to withdraw. He'll become more stoic, smoke more than usual, and assess the situation with a cool head, as if it were a mission. He won't act impulsively; he prefers to be certain of the situation before intervening.

5. The red line: Lack of respect

There's a huge difference between someone flirting with you (which he handles with cool detachment) and someone disrespecting you or trying to overstep boundaries. If someone ignores your limits or makes you uncomfortable, Price sets aside his jealous boyfriend persona and activates his SAS Captain persona. He'll intervene immediately with tactical hostility—calm yet utterly intimidating—making it clear that the consequences of taking it any further will be dire.

Given Captain Price's mature, calculating, and experienced personality in the reboot, his handling of jealousy would be a far cry from immature tantrums or teenage drama. He would process this emotion in a much quieter, more territorial, and strategic way.

This is exactly how I would react to and handle jealousy in a relationship:

1. I wouldn't make a public scene, but I would mark my territory.

Price would never embarrass you or stoop to a shouting match with someone in public. His body language would do all the work. If he senses someone crossing the line with you, he'll simply walk up to you, firmly grasp your waist or shoulder, and give the intruder one of his signature cold stares ("the thousand-yard stare"). His sheer physical presence—he's 6'2"—and his military-operator aura are usually enough to make anyone take a step back without him saying a word.

2. I would talk to you about it directly and without beating around the bush

In private, Price wouldn't bottle things up and let them fester. He'd ask you directly what's going on. Being a man who values ​​the truth above all else, he might say something like, "I noticed that guy looking at you. Should I be worried?" He expects an honest and straightforward answer; mind games of "guess what's wrong with me" don't work on him.

3. Jealousy based on security, not insecurity

Most of his jealousy or discomfort wouldn't stem from insecurity about his attractiveness or your feelings for him, but rather from his protective instincts. Price is acutely aware of the kinds of predators and dangerous people who exist in the world. If he's bothered by someone approaching you, it's often because his veteran instincts detect ill intentions or manipulation in the other person before you do.

The way you introduced your relationship to Task Force 141 would perfectly reflect Captain Price's character: it would be a straightforward, no-nonsense affair, with a touch of dry humor and an underlying sense of seriousness regarding your safety. Price isn't one for emotional speeches, so he would get straight to the point.

The official announcement

Price wouldn't organize a fancy dinner. He'd more likely take you to the military base or a safe house after a day of training, taking advantage of a moment when the team is gathered cleaning weapons or having a drink.
I would go in with you, wait until everyone fell silent upon noticing your presence, and say something as short and forceful as:

"Guys, listen up. She's 000 and she's with me. From today on, her safety is as high a priority as anyone else's in this room. If anything happens to her, you'll be held accountable. Gaz, Soap... don't scare her."

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick (The Protective Older Brother): Gaz would be the first to smile and break the tension. Being the most mature and closest to Price on a daily basis, he would approach you to greet you in a very polite and gentlemanly manner. Then, he would probably whisper a crude joke to Price, something like, "Captain, finally someone who's going to make you take a bath and stop smelling like old tobacco." He would earn a death glare from Price, but Gaz would immediately become your most loyal guardian. John "Soap" MacTavish (The Indiscreet Jokester): Soap would react with his classic Scottish charisma. He would burst into laughter, give you a firm handshake, and welcome you to the "asylum." He would immediately start asking you awkward or funny questions to uncover Price's off-duty secrets: "Is it true he sleeps with his boonie hat on?" or "Does he really have three spoonfuls of sugar in his tea?" Price would cut it off with a grunt, but Soap will adore you from the first second.

Simon "Ghost" Riley (The Tactical Distance): Ghost would stand in a corner, arms crossed, silently observing you through his tactical mask. He wouldn't say anything at first, analyzing your body language. It's not out of rudeness, but pure professional distrust. However, he would approach you when Price isn't looking and say something direct in his deep voice: "If the Old Man trusts you, so do I. If you ever need to make someone disappear, let me know." From then on, he'll respect you as one of the clan. Alejandro Vargas (The Warm Host): If the Vaqueros' Mexican colonel is present, the introduction would include tequila and a much more festive atmosphere. Alejandro would greet you with a strong hug and a "Welcome to the family," loudly reminding Price how lucky he is to have you.

Once the introductions were out of the way, Price would lay down the law. He wouldn't tolerate disrespect or tasteless jokes directed at you. As far as the team was concerned, you would be untouchable and would automatically gain the status of "Task Force 141 VIP." If you were ever in danger, you would have the best operators in the world ready to cross the globe to rescue you, simply because Price would give his life for them, and they would give theirs for him... and for you.

A romantic and sexual relationship with Captain Jonathan Price from the reboot would combine physical intensity, emotional maturity, and a deep need to disconnect from the chaos outside. For a man who lives on the edge of life and death, intimacy isn't a pastime; it's the only space where he can be completely human, vulnerable, and defenseless.

The moments of reunion:

The climax of their sexual and emotional relationship occurs when he returns from long missions. These reunions are often charged with an almost desperate physical urgency. The need to touch you, to make sure you're safe, and to feel the warmth of your body is what allows him to leave behind the coldness of the battlefield and remember why he's fighting to stay alive.

Physical and sexual intimacy: Dominance, passion, and surrender

Intensity and presence: In the sexual realm, Price is a man of action, highly perceptive and focused on the present. Standing at 6'2" with a solid build, his physical presence is imposing. He's not someone who acts timidly; he takes the initiative with natural and mature confidence. The contrast between strength and tenderness: His military background translates into absolute physical control. He can be extremely firm, territorial, and dominant, but never careless or rough with you. He knows how to channel all that energy and adrenaline accumulated in combat into intense passion, yet remains deeply attentive to your desires and responses.

The Disconnection from Control: As a commander, Price spends 99% of his time making life-or-death decisions and controlling every variable. In bed with you, he relishes the moment when he can switch off that strategic mind. Intimacy becomes his only escape, allowing him to surrender to instinct, mutual pleasure, and pure physical connection. The Language of Skin: Outside of bed, physical contact is constant yet subtle when you're alone. He enjoys direct touch: his large, calloused hands on your waist, stroking your hair as you rest, or deep kisses on your neck before sleep. Every physical gesture carries the weight of someone who knows that tomorrow is never guaranteed.

The affective dynamic: An implicit pact of trust

Zero mind games: Price has no time or energy for ambiguity. His communication is direct and honest. If he's tired, he'll tell you; if he misses you, he'll find a way to let you know, even if it's with a short, tactically coded message. Separation of worlds: He'll maintain a clear line between the horror of his missions and his personal space with you. He won't overwhelm you with the gory details of his work, but he'll seek your company to "clear his mind." Simply being in the same room, reading, or in silence, is how he recharges.

Support in the shadows: In exchange for his protection and loyalty, he needs an anchor. Someone who won't judge him for the difficult decisions he makes on the front lines and who represents the peace he can't find anywhere else in the world.

Managing the distance with Captain Price during an extended deployment is one of the biggest challenges in their relationship, as Task Force 141 operates in complete secrecy. Due to the nature of their black ops missions, the distance between them isn't measured in kilometers, but in total radio silence, which tests the emotional strength of both of them.

Price would never leave suddenly without saying anything, unless it was a national security emergency. Before leaving, he would make sure you were safe and everything was taken care of.

Guaranteed safety: He'll leave you emergency contacts within the base (like Kate Laswell or Nikolai) and a clear protocol of where to go or who to call if anything goes wrong in your daily life. A moment of intimacy: The last night before leaving would be intense and reflective. He'd make sure to look you in the eyes and remind you of his commitment, making it clear that, no matter where he goes, your face is the last thing on his mind before falling asleep and the first thing he sees when he wakes up.

When deployed in enemy territory (such as Russia, Al Mazrah, or Urzikistan), Price is forbidden from using social media, personal phones, or business channels. There will be no romantic video calls or everyday messages. However, Price would look for loopholes in the system to maintain the connection.

Secure satellite accounts: He will use ultra-secure, encrypted military channels only to send you very brief signs of life. Don't expect details of his location; you'll receive short texts like, "I arrived at my destination. All good here. Take care, I miss you," or simply a pre-agreed code that means "I'm alive. "Old-fashioned letters: If the deployment is to a stable allied base, Price prefers to write by hand. He will write short notes that he will give to trusted pilots or military logistics personnel to pass on to you weeks later. In these letters, his tone is usually softer, more nostalgic, and more direct.

On the battlefield, Price copes with distance by remaining hyper-focused on the mission. For him, making a mistake due to distraction means never seeing you again. His ways of connecting with you would be subtle: a glance at his watch before a night raid, mindful of the time difference, or lighting a cigar at the end of a hard day, gazing at the sky, imagining you share the same astronomical ceiling with him.

For Price, the hardest part of the distance is the guilt. He knows perfectly well the anguish of not knowing if someone is alive or dead when the news reports an attack or an international crisis on television.

The Impact of Returning: When the mission ends, Price usually experiences a period of decompression. The change from the pure adrenaline of war to the normalcy of home is abrupt. Upon returning, he may be somewhat distant or quiet for the first few days while his mind "comes back" from the front. It's not that he doesn't love you; he's processing the horror so as not to pass it on to you. Once he manages to disconnect, he will cling to you with an overwhelming physical and emotional need to make up for lost time.

Cigars: This is his most obvious guilty pleasure. He smokes constantly during planning sessions or after completing complex missions, with Villa Clara cigars being his favorites. Reciprocal loyalty: He values ​​blind loyalty to the team above institutions. He develops deep bonds of trust with his subordinates and foreign allies, considering them his true family.

Initiative and autonomy: He likes it when the soldiers under his command (like Gaz or Soap) think for themselves and make quick decisions in high-pressure situations, instead of freezing up waiting for orders from above. Precision weaponry: He has a clear preference for versatile and powerful assault rifles adapted for special forces, with the M4A1, Kilo 141, and M13 being among his favorites.

Traditional British tea: As a good British soldier of the [SAS], he enjoys a cup of tea, a small habit he maintains even in the most austere operating rooms.
