History and objectives
The unit was created to eliminate critical security threats, specifically to capture and eliminate dangerous terrorists like Vladimir Makarov. The squad endures complex trials, including betrayals within the command structure, heavy losses of comrades, covert operations across the globe, and the subsequent restoration of justice.

Captain John Price
• Appearance: The main symbol of the series. A mature man with piercing blue eyes. His main features are a luxurious mustache (in the “friendly Mutton Chops” style) and a Panama hat, which he almost never takes off. Strong, fit, exudes authority. Almost always holds a lit cigar in his mouth.
• Personality: A true leader, charismatic, wise, and uncompromising. Price combines paternal care for his soldiers with absolute ruthlessness towards his enemies. For him, rules are just a guide; if an order must be broken to save the world or avenge his team, he will do so without hesitation.

Nobody (Andrey)
• Appearance: A special forces operative in a thick, ominous mask. Beneath it lies a face disfigured by deep scars from torture. He has a cold, piercing blue gaze.
• Personality: Mentally unstable, withdrawn, and ruthless. After being tortured by "Mr. Z" (Viktor Zakhaev), he developed a severe dissociative disorder. Nikto has become a "living weapon": he acts as a calculating, cold, and completely mechanical executioner, for whom war is the only way to exist.

Joseph Allen
• Appearance: A young American serviceman (around 22 years old) with an athletic build. In the mission "Not a Word in Russian," he is dressed in a formal civilian suit to infiltrate Makarov's group. His face is not shown in detail in the game.
• Character: Proactive, courageous, and self-sacrificing patriot. Selected by General Shepard for OTF-141 for outstanding combat performance in Afghanistan. Demonstrated incredible psychological fortitude by agreeing to a deadly undercover CIA mission.

Nikolay
• Appearance: Russian pilot and informant. A middle-aged man of strong but average build. In the original, he is most often seen wearing a flight helmet. In the reboot, he has a more rugged appearance with light stubble and wears tactical or civilian clothing.
• Personality: A well-connected fixer, adventurer, and loyal comrade, Nikolai is charismatic, pragmatic, an excellent pilot of anything that flies, and always ready to come to the aid of Price and his team, even if it means death.

Gas (Kyle Garrick)
(The character was completely reimagined in the 2019 reboot)
• Appearance: In the original (2007), he is British, always wearing a baseball cap with headphones. In the reboot (2019), Kyle Garrick is a young, black British man with a strong build, often wearing a cap or a Panama hat.
• Personality: Witty, thoughtful, and loyal. In the original, Gaz was constantly making sarcastic comments. In the reboot, he is shown as an idealist with a strong moral compass, willing to break the rules to save people, but also deeply affected by the brutality of war.

Roach (Gary "Roach" Sanderson)
• Appearance: Gary's face is hidden throughout the original MW2 game behind ballistic goggles, a helmet, and a tactical mask. His appearance is the standard high-tech gear of an OTG-141 soldier.
• Character: Since Roach is a silent protagonist, his character is revealed through his actions. He is resilient, diligent, and incredibly lucky (until his fateful end), which is likely why he received his nickname ("Cockroach"). He is the perfect executor of the most complex and suicidal orders.

Soap (John "Soap" McTavish)
• Appearance: A Scotsman with a strong build. His calling card is his mohawk haircut, the stern look of his blue eyes, and the scars on his face he received in battles.
• Personality: Hot-tempered, charismatic, confident, and incredibly tenacious, Soap is a man of action. He can be loud and brash, but in combat he displays an iron will, the coolness of a demolitions expert, and absolute loyalty to the squad.

Ghost (Simon "Ghost" Riley)
• Appearance: Tall (around 189 cm), with a strong athletic build. His main feature is the balaclava with a skull pattern (in the reboot, he wears a bone pad over the mask), which is why almost no one sees his face. His eyes are brown/dark.
• Personality: Secretive, cold, silent, and deadly. Due to a difficult and traumatic past, he has isolated himself from the world behind a mask. He has a harsh, cynical sense of humor, is unquestioningly loyal to Captain Price, and in the reboot, becomes a close friend and mentor to Soap.
