Formation: Shortly after Roman Barkov's death, Captain Price met with Kate Laswell at a teahouse to discuss the formation of a new task force, intended to tie up loose ends that would inevitably be created in the void left behind by Barkov. Laswell initially dismissed the idea, saying she could “fund assets, not outlaws”, though she stopped and mentioned that Victor Zakhaev, the son of the late Imran Zakhaev, sought to claim Barkov's throne when Price threatened to leave. Laswell added that Zakhaev was a big fan of Hadir and that he would break him out of Russian custody, furthering Price's argument to give him want he wanted. Relenting to Price's request, Laswell handed him the files of multiple candidates handpicked by Price on behalf of General Herschel Shepherd for his task force. Upon going over the files of Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, and Simon "Ghost" Riley, Price explained to Laswell that the rest of his candidates were "need to know", unless he had a deal with her. When questioned by Laswell on what he would call the task force, Price eagerly responded: "1-4-1". Eventually, Task Force 141 was officially created, with Price inducting his handpicked members into the organization. War in Verdansk On March 3rd, 2020, Al-Qatala, reformed under the leadership of Khaled Al-Asad with support from Victor Zakhaev and his weapons business, launched a surprise invasion of Verdansk, Kastovia. In response, the Armistice initiative was established, which launched several assaults to terminate Al-Qatala operations, assets and resources across the region. However, Ghost soon discovered that Armistice operators had been targeting each other after clouds of deadly gas were released all over Verdansk due to Zakhaev's efforts, eventually leading to the dissolution of the initiative. After escaping the gas attack, Ghost arrived at a classified location in Urzikstan occupied by Ultranationalists, being joined by Charly, Talon and Alex Keller, the latter having barely survived the explosion in Georgia. Stopping Zakhaev With the situation in Verdansk slowly worsening, Price and Gaz joined the fight in Verdansk shortly after learning of Zakhaev's plan and the hidden bunkers across the city containing nuclear weapons. Later on, Price discovered Zakhaev had been using the subway tunnels beneath the city to move around undetected alongside supplies, though the subway system itself had been deactivated. In a joint effort between Nikolai and Farah Karim, the two were able to reactivate the subway system throughout the city and continued their search for Zakhaev. In December, the team, which Farah and Nikolai were now members of, along with Marcus Griggs' Demon Dogs, assaulted the Bunker 10 missile silo to find Zakhaev, who was preparing to launch a dormant nuclear warhead. Simultaneously, Price managed to infiltrate the silo from another entry point and managed to shoot Zakhaev in the shoulder. While the launch prepped in the background, Zakhaev mockingly greeted Price, who responded by calling Zakhaev "a dead man" before pulling him up. Zakhaev exclaimed that he started a war and that killing him would achieve nothing, to which Price explained that he wasn't going to kill him directly, but rather "the fall will", hoisting Zakhaev over a railing and pushing him over the side to his death. With the help of Nikolai, Price managed to shutdown the nuclear launch just in time, averting Zakhaev's plans. Following this, Price, along with Nikolai, Alex, Ghost, Kyle and Farah, regrouped atop to the Verdansk Dam to witness the continued fighting of former Armistice soldiers between one another. Soap then contacted Price to inform him of a developing situation half a click off the coast, and the team parachuted off of the dam together to meet up with him. Missiles Crisis Assassination of Ghorbrani On July 15th, 2022, Ghost was deployed to Al Mazrah in the United Republic of Adal to assist Shadow Company with the assassination of Quds Force General Ghorbrani while he was amidst an arms trade with Russian forces. Ghost ventured through a nearby canyon to an overlook and confirmed Ghorbrani's arrival, giving Phillip Graves permission to neutralize the target. Soon after, Shadow Company launched a ballistic missile at the arms trade, which completely decimated the site upon impact, killing Ghorbrani as confirmed by Ghost. Discovery in Al Mazrah In October 2022, Soap and Ghost were tasked with apprehending Hassan Zyani, who sought to destroy the US for the death of General Ghorbrani. Alongside two squads of MARSOC marines, they boarded a helicopter and landed in a field in Al Mazrah to search for Hassan, but failed, then, the one of the Marines spotted Al-Qatala soldiers' activity near a warehouse, prompting the team to search it, where they found a missile container carrying American ballistics missiles. Fighting the Cartel in Las Almas After learning that Hassan escaped into Las Almas with the help of the Las Almas Cartel, Soap and Ghost linked up with Colonel Alejandro Vargas and his unit, Los Vaqueros. They assaulted a Cartel safehouse looking for Hassan, but only found a flag of the Quds Force before being attacked by Mexican soldiers paid off by the Cartel. Only Soap, Ghost and Alejandro managed to escape with the support from Shadow Company's AC-130. With the help from Shadow Company, the team assaulted a Cartel compound and successfully captured Hassan. However, they were ambushed by Cartel members and Mexican soldiers near the village of Olmeda but managed to repel the assaults and extract with Hassan. Capturing El Sin Nombre Despite the successful capture, Task Force 141 and Shadow Company 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, which leads to a cartel smuggling base in Spain. Meanwhile, Soap, Ghost, Alejandro and Shadow Company acquired intel on a cartel estate important meeting, where the Las Almas Cartel leader El Sin Nombre alongside with important members and associate of the Las Almas Cartel have gathered. The team decided that this was their best shot, with Soap volunteering to infiltrate the mansion, which prompted Alejandro to do it as well. When Soap got inside the mansion, he was brought down to the basement and was interrogated by the El Sin Nombre's personal sicaria, Valeria Garza, where he gave her all the information that she wanted, then Soap was told to wait upstairs, where he linked up with an undercover Alejandro. They would later capture Valeria, where it became known to them that, she was El Sin Nombre, a Shadow Company contractor then brought her up to the helicopter and took her to the Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters. Neutralizing the second missile Through interrogation, Valeria revealed to Task Force 141 that the missile was on an oil rig in the ocean, prompting them to assault 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 by Shadow Company As the team returned to Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters, Graves revealed Alejandro's men were detained and Shadow Company took over the base with the support of General Herschel Shepherd. A firefight broke out, with Ghost and an injured Soap escaping, while Alejandro was captured. Later, with Ghost's instructions, Soap managed to evade Shadow Company contractors and reunited with him and escaped to Alejandro's safehouse. The two met with Alejandro's second-in-command, Rodolfo Parra, and discuss their plan to break into the Prison. Soap, Ghost and Rodolfo Parra planned to rescue Alejandro and free the remaining Los Vaqueros forces. After planning it out carefully, they then broke in and head to the security room, where Ghost told Soap to guide him through the cameras while he plants C4s to create diversions. After Ghost had planted all the charges, Rodolfo managed to locate Alejandro. They then regrouped and breached the prison cells and rescued Alejandro alongside with other Los Vaqueros operators. While Soap, Ghost, Alejandro and Rodolfo, alongside Los Vaqueros operators were exiting the prison, they were stopped by a helicopter, which was shot down by Price, who then deployed ropes to get them out, Price ordered Gaz, Soap and Ghost to overwatch and cover fire for the Vaqueros. They all exfiled, and Price tells the Task Force why Shadow Company betrayed them. Retaking Los Vaqueros Headquarters Task Force 141 alongside with Los Vaqueros formed Joint Task Force - Ghost Team and launched an assault against Shadow Company, who is occupying the Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters. Team 1, consisting of Price, Alejandro, Gaz, and a Los Vaqueros operator infiltrated the base from the underground, while Team 2, consisting of Soap, Ghost, Rodolfo and other Los Vaqueros operators attacked from the front gates. Gaz and Alejandro then secured Hangar 3, where Shadow Company is holding Valeria, Team 2 then managed to reach the Headquarters, where they spotted Graves fleeing, as they pushed into training grounds, Price's helicopter was shot down, which prompted Ghost to help him, forcing Soap and Rodolfo to fight on their own against Graves, who was in a tank. With clever maneuvering combined with the usage of C4s, Soap managed to destroy the tank, seemingly killing Graves. Stopping Hassan After they retrieved Valeria, Task Force 141 wanted to know the whereabouts of Hassan and third missile, Valeria then told them: "Chicago", Price then handed Valeria to Alejandro and Task Force 141 left Las Almas. Then Task Force 141 was deployed alongside MARSOC Marines to eliminate Hassan and disarm the final missile. But, even with their best effort, the missile was launched. Price and Soap regrouped with Gaz and eliminated all the enemies, they went near the door of the room where Hassan is hiding, but before Soap could use the snake cam, the door was breached, and they were knocked out, Gaz managed to get up and brought both Soap and Price to a safe location. Soap then rushed into the elevator, there, the elevator exploded after Hassan fired the RPG-7, and started to fall down. Soap had the chance to get the missile control from a stunned Hassan, Hassan then armed himself to attack Soap but was distracted by Gaz, allowing Soap to run away with the missile control, then, with Laswell's guidance, Soap managed to disarm the missile, then he killed the Al-Qatala soldiers in the area, being shot in the back by Hassan. Hassan then tried to finish off Soap, but was killed by Ghost before he could do so. KorTac is a private military contractor. KorTac was founded following the death of Hassan Zyani as special forces for hire to conduct various international operations. KorTac and SpecGru would frequently face off against each other at various locations around the world and amass new operators over time. At some point, KorTac started operating within Al Mazrah and Ashika Island.

(Shadow 3-3=6'3, muscular with fat, black, Haitian, black dreads, deep brown eyes.) Formation: Shadow Company was founded by Phillip Graves in 2017 as a global risk management, protection, and private military firm that specializes in troop, air, and maritime deployment anywhere in the world as it mainly employs former special operations members globally. It saw its fair share of success and controversy and was frequently contracted by General Herschel Shepherd of the United States Army and once by Allegiance. War in Verdansk Following the collapse of Armistice, Shadow Company was hired by Allegiance to locate Victor Zakhaev in Verdansk. Operating outside the boundaries of the original alliance, the PMC could take the war directly to Zakhaev and Al-Qatala.[1] After receiving intel from Allegiance about radio chatter originating from the Acropolis National Arena, a small team of Shadow Company contractors led by Marcus "Lerch" Ortega flew to the stadium, seeking to intercept the potential source of the signal: Victor Zakhaev. As Lerch and the team arrived, Rozlin "Roze" Helms used explosives to blow open the roof of the stadium, allowing Lerch's team to land inside and begin their hunt for Zakhaev. Despite their efforts, Shadow Company was unable to locate Zakhaev, who was later discovered to have used the underground metro system to escape undetected. Meanwhile, operators from Shadow Company remained in Verdansk to continue the fight against Al-Qatala. Assassination of Ghorbrani On July 15th, 2022, under Shepherd's command, Shadow Company was tasked in accordance with Task Force 141 operative Simon "Ghost" Riley to assassinate Quds Force General Ghorbrani while he was amidst an arms trade with Russian forces in Al Mazrah, United Republic of Adal. Once Ghost identified the general, Shadow Company launched a ballistic missile at the arms trade, which completely decimated the site upon impact, killing Ghorbrani. Missiles Crisis Black Bag Operation One month later on August 12th, Shadow Company was hired by Shepherd to transact American ballistic missiles to American allies fighting Russian forces in the Middle East, though the transport team was kept privy to their cargo's contents. While Shadow Company was transporting their cargo of three missiles through Al Mazrah in the middle of the night, the convoy was intercepted and ambushed by Konni Group contractors hired by Ultranationalists. Unfortunately, the transport team was unable to repel the assault and were all killed by the mercenaries, allowing the missiles to be stolen. The situation also allowed Konni to learn that Shepherd conducted the operation through hijacked Shadow Company communications, and Russia subsequently handed off the stolen missiles to Major Hassan Zyani, Ghorbrani's second-in-command who sought direct retribution against the United States. Due to the illegal and off-the-books nature of the operation, Shepherd and Graves were both forced to cover up and redact the incident, hiding the fact that there were now three American missiles out in the wild and the hands of terrorists. Hunting Hassan Zyani Two months later following the cover-up and the discovery of one of the stolen missiles in Al Mazrah, Shadow Company was hired by Shepherd to provide security for Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros in Las Almas during their hunt for Zyani, in addition to locating the whereabouts of the remaining stolen missiles Zyani was transporting closer to the United States. On October 30th, Graves and a Shadow Company team utilized an AC-130 to provide close air support and assistance for the team capturing Zyani. However, Zyani was eventually released as the team had no jurisdiction to legally hold him prisoner. Capturing El Sin Nombre Intel recovered by Kate Laswell eventually pointed to the leader of the Las Almas Cartel, the elusive El Sin Nombre who helped transport Hassan and his stolen missiles. On November 1st, Shadow Company was put on standby for additional support as Task Force 141 operative Johnny "Soap" MacTavish infiltrated the house of a Las Almas Cartel lieutenant where El Sin Nombre was meeting with VIPs of the cartel to discuss recent events. As part of the plan, Soap would give intel to the cartel relating to the effort to capture Zyani to gain their trust and meet El Sin Nombre, providing the cartel information regarding Shadow Company and its leader, handing them a patch of the group's insignia given to him by Graves as proof. It was soon revealed that El Sin Nombre was a woman named Valeria Garza, and once Soap and Alejandro Vargas found her, she attempted to flee. However, she was cornered by a Shadow Company helicopter on the penthouse terrace, allowing Soap and Vargas to apprehend her. Stopping the Second Missile Through interrogating Garza, the team learned that one of the stolen missiles was being set up on an abandoned oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that the Las Almas Cartel was using as a smuggling dead drop site. On November 2nd, a Shadow Company-led operation with support from Task Force 141 and Vargas assaulted the rig via speedboats to prevent the missile's launch. While Shadow 1 and 2 led by Graves, Vargas, and Soap underwent the main infiltration of the rig, Shadow 3 and Ghost were assigned to assault the nearby cargo ship anchored northwest of the rig. However, upon reaching the missile as it began its first priming stage, it was soon discovered that the controls for the missile were relocated to the nearby ship, forcing Graves and Soap to link up with Ghost and Shadow 3 via boat. Together, the team fought across the deck of the ship toward the bridge, where the missile controls were. Soap and Graves managed to override the missile's original target of New Orleans to the rig itself upon seizing the controls, and after Vargas and the remaining Shadow Company forces on the rig were evacuated, Soap and Graves launched the missile into the rig, destroying both. The Truth Emerges With two of the three missiles destroyed and Garza in their possession, Shadow Company was given jurisdiction by Shepherd to finish the mission themselves to finally put their cover-up to bed. Not long after the oil rig mission, Graves and Shadow Company soon acquired the Fuerzas Especiales base belonging to Vargas and his men, revealing to Ghost, Soap, and Vargas at the base's checkpoint that Shadow Company was taking the base for themselves while the others were no longer needed to hunt down the last missile and Zyani, much to the three's chagrin. When it came to light that Shepherd was supporting Shadow Company's actions and Vargas' men were detained, Vargas attempted to attack Graves, though he was immediately apprehended. Soap and Ghost both dispatched a few Shadow Company soldiers before they were forced to flee into the nearby town. Graves ordered his men to find and kill them, and soon after, Shadow Company forces combed through Las Almas to find them. During this, Shadow Company invaded numerous homes and rounded up resistant civilians, cartel members, and even corrupt policemen alike, interrogating them for any intel regarding Zyani while executing them afterward. Meanwhile, Soap and Ghost managed to evade Shadow Company and escape the city. Upon reaching Vargas' safehouse, Soap and Ghost learned from Rodolfo Parra that Shadow Company was keeping Vargas and the rest of Los Vaqueros prisoner at an abandoned maximum-security penitentiary outside Las Almas. The trio soon infiltrated the prison, sabotaging Shadow Company vehicles along the way and liberating the prisoners. Shadow Company attempted to stop the breakout, though they were unsuccessful as the infiltration team and prisoners escaped with additional help from Task Force 141 members John Price and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick. Afterward, Price revealed to the others that after Shepherd went dark, Laswell used her CIA connections to uncover information regarding the failed Shadow Company missile transaction. Attacked by Ghost Team Desiring retribution for Shadow Company's crimes, Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros banded together to form a joint task force called Ghost Team to infiltrate the Shadow Company-occupied Fuerzas Especiales base and kill Graves. In the afternoon of November 3rd, Ghost Team assaulted the base while Shadow Company attempted to defend it along with their commander. Ghost Team managed to reclaim the base, ultimately driving the remaining Shadow Company forces out. Graves was presumed deceased (he isn't) by Soap and Parra following the destruction of a Shadow Company tank believed to have been piloted by the commander and CEO. Eventually, Task Force 141 managed to locate Zyani and the final missile at a building in Chicago, Illinois owned by a shell company of the Las Almas Cartel through information provided once again by Garza. After infiltrating the building with help from MARSOC marines, Task Force 141 successfully neutralized the missile and Zyani, finally wrapping up the missile crisis caused by Shepherd and Shadow Company's actions. Los Vaqueros (English: The Cowboys) is an elite unit of the Mexican Special Forces. Known Members: (Alejandro Vargas=Male, Hispanic, 6’2, 41, slim, fit, muscular (beefy in the arms), brown eyes, thick eyebrows, short black slicked back hair, scruffy/scraggly dark beard. Honorable, easy going, humble, easy to make laugh, commanding, skilled. Colonel of Los Vaqueros.) (Rodolfo “Rudy” Parra=Male, Hispanic, 5’11, 39, honey brown eyes, black short hair, longer on top, combed back, shaved beard, little stubble. Athletic, fit, toned. Loyal, reserved, dedicated, focused. Sergeant of Los Vaqueros.) Founding The Los Vaqueros is an elite unit of the Mexican Special Forces, led by Colonel Alejandro Vargas alongside with his second-in-command, Major Rodolfo Parra. All soldiers of the unit are handpicked for their loyalty to the country and their skills. The raid on the son of La Araña In 2014, the Los Vaqueros worked with RED Team of the Mexican Special Forces, consisting of Valeria Garza, Jesus "Chuy" Ordaz and other Mexican Special Forces operator to arrest the son of La Araña to put an end to the La Araña Cartel. Unbeknownst to the Los Vaqueros, many operators of the RED team, including Valeria herself, were enforcers for the La Araña Cartel. They turned against their former teammates and escorted the son of La Araña to the mountains before executing him. Rise of El Sin Nombre Following the death of La Araña's son, the La Araña Cartel collapsed. And a new cartel arose from its ashes, the Las Almas Cartel, led by the elusive El Sin Nombre - "The Nameless". The Las Almas Cartel proved themselves to be more powerful than the previous one, bribing local Mexican Army units to protect them, while also developing the city to convince the population to support them. This prompted the Los Vaqueros to target and contain the new threat. The Las Almas Cartel is a powerful drug cartel, led by El Sin Nombre, the cartel controls the region of Las Almas. They also smuggled goods for terrorist groups, including Al-Qatala. Known Members: (Valeria Garza=Female, Hispanic, 5’6, 40, slim, athletic build. Bossy, manipulative, intelligent, teasing, mocking, likes to start a fight but can remain her own calm demeanor. Boss/Leader of the Las Almas Cartel, known as “El Sin Nombre”. ONLY 141 and Los Vaqueros know of Valeria as El Sin Nombre.) Founding: Before the cartel was established, Las Almas was plagued by the La Araña Cartel, which was led by the son of La Araña. At some point, the Mexican's Fuerzas Especiales launched a raid against the son of La Araña to arrest him. The Fuerzas Especiales RED team was tasked to cordon off the city to prevent any bloodshed against the civilian population during the raid. However, several members of the RED team, including Valeria Garza, were secretly enforcers for the La Araña Cartel. Turning against their own, the RED team escorted the son of La Araña to the mountains and executed him. Having created a power vacuum, Valeria established the Las Almas Cartel, becoming its leader under the nickname El Sin Nombre. To gain public support, the cartel built infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and roads. The cartel continued to bribe officers from the Mexican Army and police forces for protection, recruiting ex-soldiers as enforcers. Furthermore, the cartel owns a shell company in Chicago named Arch Industries. Smuggling American Missiles At some point, the cartel began smuggling goods around the world for terrorist groups like Al-Qatala, knowing that as long as terrorism will remain a global threat, the United States would be too distracted to take a hardline approach toward on War on Drugs. As part of their deal with Al-Qatala, Las Almas smuggled two ballistic missiles to the United States and helped Hassan Zyani crossing the border between Mexico and Texas right before Alejandro Vargas and Rodolfo Parra of the Los Vaqueros could intercept him. The two operatives also crossed the border but were unable to retrieve Hassan, who fled back to Mexico. The cartel continued to protect Hassan in Las Almas, with the help of rogue elements of the Mexican Army, as Los Vaqueros and Task Force 141 assaulted a cartel compound to capture Hassan. Hassan was already gone, and many members of Los Vaqueros were killed before they were saved by Phillip Graves' Shadow Company. The private military company used a AC-130 to assist the two teams in capturing Hassan from another cartel compound and stop an ambush from the cartel. Apprehension of El Sin Nombre However, Hassan was let go and disappeared. Two days later, Los Vaqueros, Task Force 141, and Shadow Company began searching for El Sin Nombre to get information about Hassan and the missile's whereabouts. Johnny "Soap" MacTavish entered the mansion of a cartel lieutenant, Diego Salgado, claiming he had information about the recent attacks against the cartel. He was brought to Valeria, who posed as a sicaria, and revealed what happened. With the help of Vargas, they reached the room where El Sin Nombre was said to be and realized it was Valeria. Shaken, Vargas was startled by the revelation, as both served together. The two then assaulted the room, killing Salgado, Valeria tried to escape, but was captured by Graves. Valeria was brought to the Fuerzas Especiales headquarters and made a deal with Graves, revealing that one of the missiles was brought to an abandoned oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico occupied by Al-Qatala. The different teams launched an assault against the rig and successfully destroyed the missile. Not long after, Graves and Shadow Company took charge of the operation under the order of General Shepherd hunting down not only Hassan but also Los Vaqueros and Task Force 141. Shadow Company began executing anyone affiliated with the Las Almas cartel including sicarios and bribed police officers, taking and separating children from their parents, as well as burning their houses. Los Vaqueros and Task Force 141 formed the Joint Task Force - Ghost Team and launched an assault against the Shadow Company headquarters, destroying Graves' tank, and retrieving Valeria. As she was sent away, Valeria claimed she was going to be freed in less than a day and challenged Los Vaqueros to prove she did anything. New Operation In April 2023, Valeria was broken out of a Mexican prison by members of her Cartel, leading Vargas to pursue her. She soon launched a new operation in Al Mazrah and the Las Almas Cartel occupied the Hafid Port, despite efforts to counter them. The Las Almas Cartel, supported by Al Qatala, were contracted by Konni Group to feign discovering the buried entrances to the Koschei Complex in Rohan Oil, Al Mazrah City and Taraq Village. Shadow Company's "Phantom-5" sniper team, tasked with surveying the Cartel's activities, were later eliminated following their discovery of these entrances. In August 2023, all Cartel members vacated the Koschei Complex and Hafid Port as Konni Group invaded Al Mazrah. Following Operation Rogue Arsenal, Konni's employer: Milena Romanova brokered a deal with the Las Almas Cartel, tasking them in distributing the stolen gas from Vondel to other places across the globe.
