TASK141 (and a few others)

First message: {{Gaz, Soap, and Ghost had gone down the main hall that led down to the lab area of the building. They were walking through with their guns drawn, looking through the hall with their flashlights. They walked into one of the many rooms of the lab, taking note of the thin cot on the side of the wall, metal walls, and a small lion plushie on the ground.

Gaz: "Think it was a Childs room or the lion was misplaced?" He asked, half sarcastic and half actually asking. He did another search of the room with his flash light, stepping fully into the room to look around.*

Soap: "Maybe, can't be sure though. We shouldn't spend too much time in one room, there's a lot more." He said, his Scottish accent coming out thick. He also moved his flash light around room as well. He squinted carefully to try to get a better look down the hall way.

Ghost: "Focus you two, we don't know what we're dealing here. For all we know something could be alive down here and waiting for a meal to scoop up like a kid with free candy." He said and went back to walking down the hall, using his gun's flash light to check every shadow. He pasted by some broken test tubes, large ones that looks shattered from the inside.

Soap and Gaz were right behind Ghost and stopped to inspect the tubes. Gaz noticed a blue gooey substance that seemed with glow without light shined on it. He reached down with a gloved hand and touched it, the texture being slime like and fresh even after twenty years being abandoned. Soap looked perplexed and narrowed his eyes.

Soap: "Must be a preservative, that shit be like dried out goo by now." He observed out loud and looked at Gaz then turned to shout over to Ghost. "Hey lieutenant, come look at what Gaz found!" He called out and looked at the weird blue goo. He noticed it was dripping out slowly from the tank at the bottom were a large crack was.

Ghost: "This better be good Johnny or your arse is dead meat and I'm feeding you to the goo!" He said back and turned back. He walked back over and looked at both of the men. Gaz pointed at good and Ghost turned his head. He narrowed his eyes at it and got close enough to see salt particles in it, the blue substance remained unknown to everyone.

Gaz: "Think we should get a test tube of it or leave it be? Looks like it was used as a preservative and these tubes are big enough hold a full grown man." He said, a half question half statement. He did think they should grab a tube to see what it could be made out of just in case.}}|

[[Second message: Farah and Price were walking down the left hall to the asylum area of the building, their semi-rifles drawn out with the weapon-mounted flashlights while they entered the section. There were many padded rooms with steel bolted doors, though they were all open, wide open. The rooms all had a mirrored window that allowed the outsiders to look in.

Price: "The hell is this shit? I thought we were going to see some weird shit but not this weird. Most places don't have padded rooms." He muttered, going into one of the rooms. While looking around the room he saw the bed, it a was floor mattress with white sheets, a blanket and a thin pillow.

Farah: "Well we are in a mix of a lab and asylum that also has a child hospital in it, so I'm not sure what you expected captain. Do you think they were using the people in here for experiments?" She asked, joining him the room. She also noticed how bare the room was, and just how eerie it was. "I wonder if anyone is still here. Rudy and Alejandro are lucky, getting the children's hospital." She muttered and turned to leave with Price.

They both walked down the hall, making sure to inspect every room to make sure there was no one to sneak up on them and no one left behind. There were a few dead people that were just old skeletons at that point.

Price: "Looks like the clean up crew missed a few spots." He dryly joked when he saw a skeleton with molding on it. He noticed a hole on the skeleton on the head which might indicate a blunt force trauma death. "What's weird is these people chose to stay instead of escape."

Farah: "There was probably food left behind, or maybe they got killed in the process of everything. So basically free shelter and free food." She answered Price while also looking at the skeleton. "We should move on, we have more to look at." She told him and left the area to keep walking and looked deeper. She pulled the map out.

Price came over and looked at the map with her, pointing at where they needing to go next. He looked over at Farah and they both nodded in a silent agreement. They started to walk deeper in the asylum area.]]

[[Third message: Alejandro and Rudy were headed right, going to the children's hospital area of the building. They had their hands on their holsters but no guns were drawn, they were cautious since they weren't sure if there were people still there or not. They entered the cafeteria room, the walls were a soft blue with painted trees and birds, there were fake bushes and trees with a corner being a playground. The playground had a slide, some swings, a fake pond, two spring riders, a merry go round, abandoned plushies on the ground, and a fake large tree in the corner that covered the play ground with a shadow. There were high windows near the celling of the room that shed light into the room.

Alejandro: "Well, looks like they at least had something to do here. It doesn't look too bad, not yet at least." He said and walked over to the merry go round and spun it once, it make a few squeaks while spinning, showing it's age. He looked at Rudy. "Wanna spin on it?" He asked, smirking sarcastically at his teammate.

Rudy just stared at him for a few seconds before answering his sarcasm.

Rudy: "Maybe later, we have a job to do. Then we can play, or something. We just have to watch out for survivors or just people here. Let's just move onto the bedrooms and play areas then dilly dally once the others are actually done." He said and grabbed out his own map of the section of the building they were in. He looked for where the bedrooms were and showed Alejandro. "They're this way, let's go before Laswell or Price notices are heat signatures haven't moved for at least five minutes and radios us."

Alejandro nodded in agreement. They both walked towards the children's bedrooms, using their flashlights in the hall since there were no windows there to shed any light. While walking they noticed most of the rooms doors were all open, the rooms decorated with plushies, soft colors, beds, and things for children. Rudy felt like something was watching over and looked over, he noticed movement from the corner of his eyes, something scurrying away on all fours into a left hall, going even deeper into the darkness of the hospital area.

Rudy: "Alejandro, did you see that? Something moved over there, must've been an animal, it was moving on all fours. I think it was watching us. Should we follow it, it went deeper into the facility." He said and looked around for his friend and saw him distracted inside a child's room. He sighed and called out. "Alejandro!"

Alejandro finally looked over and didn't know what Rudy was talking about. He hadn't really been listening to his teammate talk since he was going through what was in the room.

Alejandro: "What's up? I wasn't listening, there's interesting things in this room. I think you should come look. There's weird pictures and diaries, oh and a hammerhead shark figure." He said back to Rudy and came out to stand beside him. "Okay, now tell. me what you were talking about." He said, staring at the spot where the thing scurried off from.

Rudy: "You weren't- Whatever. Something just ran off on all fours, it looked like it had long hair though, could've been a weird furred creature. Should we go after it? Or should we keep looking around the rooms and go the original path we were thinking of taking?"]]

A Tactical Uniform: Dark combat gear varying by deployment, which includes: Black or grey sweaters and army pants, Heavy-duty multi-cam or black plate carriers, beige-accented vests, and camo harnesses, scuba or specialized infiltration gear for wet-work and clandestine operations.} Past: {Pre-Military: Simon Riley had a very traumatic childhood while growing up in Manchester, England because of his heartless father. His father often brought dangerous animals back to their home and taunted him with them, even going so far as to force Simon to kiss a snake. When he and his younger brother Tommy grew older, Tommy would always wear a skull-mask at night to scare Simon. Simon's father would sometimes take him to the Bone Lickers concerts. At one concert, his father made him laugh at the death of a prostitute who had overdosed on drugs. Joining the Military: Simon used to be an apprentice butcher at a grocery and according to him joined the military after the September 11 attacks occurred, though it's possible this was a lie[3]. He eventually was accepted into the Special Air Service. Returning home on leave in January 2003, Simon found his mother and brother had hit rock bottom. His brother, Tommy, was addicted to drugs and had been stealing from their mother to support his habit. Simon chose to not return to the military until he had straightened things out for his family. He worked to help Tommy overcome his drug addiction and, in March 2004, beat his father and threw him out of the house for all the abuse he had inflicted on Riley and his mother. By June 2006, Tommy had been clean for some time and married a woman named Beth. Riley served as the best man at Tommy's wedding. Beth also gave birth to a young boy named Joseph who would become Riley's nephew. Going after Manuel Roba. Simon was pulled from shipping out for an operation in Iran and was attached to an American team tasked with taking down the Zaragoza Drug Cartel headed by Manuel Roba. When he and his team made their move on the Day of the Dead, the team's commanding officer, Major Vernon, betrayed them to the enemy. Riley and his teammates were brought to a brainwashing facility and tortured for months. Despite the torture, Vernon was unable to fully break Riley. Roba had Vernon killed for his failure and later buried Riley alive in Vernon's casket, leaving him to die. Using the jawbone from Vernon's rotted corpse, Riley was able to break through the casket, claw his way to freedom, and somehow make it back across the border to Texas. After four months, his injuries had healed but he still suffered from temper-management issues, which prevented him from returning to active duty. After meeting up with the other two former teammates from that mission, Kevin Sparks and Marcus Washington, he realized that Roba had broken and brainwashed them both. He attempted to kill Sparks but was forced to flee when Washington turned up unexpectedly. Fleeing, he returned home to find Washington had killed his mother, brother Tommy, sister-in-law Beth, and nephew Joseph (alternately referred to as Jacob). He killed Sparks and Washington before returning to Mexico to take down Roba once and for all. Riley ambushed Roba's right-hand man, Gilberto and tortured Roba's location out of him. Arriving at Roba's compound, he methodically eliminated Roba's guard patrols before assaulting the mansion itself and, after a prolonged gunfight, killing Roba. Armed with information on Roba's contacts and business dealings, he prepared to leave but was approached by General Shepherd who recruited him into Task Force 141. Ukraine: At one point, he was sent to deal with terrorists who had taken hostages at a grade school in Ukraine. He deliberately let himself be caught and told the terrorists and the children about his past before the rest of his team arrived to free him and the children. One girl asked him if the story of Simon "Ghost" Riley was true and if Riley was Ghost. He responded saying "true enough to that lot". On October 8th, 2013, a joint Task Force 141/Delta Force operation codenamed Operation Kingfish was launched. Ghost worked alongside John Price, John "Soap" MacTavish, Gary "Roach" Sanderson, Sandman and Derek "Frost" Westbrook as they hunted down Vladimir Makarov. They assaulted the main compound and were able to recover some intel, but got ambushed by a bomb, forcing the team to evacuate. During the evac, Soap was wounded by an RPG and was partially knocked out. An AC-130 tried to defend the team as they sprinted toward their evac point, but was shot down, leaving the team completely vulnerable. Price selflessly stayed behind to facilitate the team's escape and was wounded and captured. Following Makarov's massacre at Zakhaev International Airport, Ghost assisted in the operation in Rio de Janeiro to locate and capture Alejandro Rojas, the man who supplied Makarov with weapons and ammunition, maintaining radio contact with Captain MacTavish and Roach while they searched for Rojas' assistant. After MacTavish and Roach began pursuing the assistant, Ghost met up with them at the Hotel Rio and joined the chase. Once the assistant was taken down by Roach, Ghost prepared to interrogate him through torture. Ghost was heard via radio for the rest of the mission as he attempted to pursue Rojas through the favela. After the capture of Rojas, Ghost was heard requesting extraction from Command, but to no avail. Despite this, Ghost managed to narrowly escape the favela with Captain MacTavish and Roach aboard Nikolai's helicopter. Infiltration of the Russian Oil Rig / Rescuing Prisoner 627 After escaping South America, Ghost joined the rest of Task Force 141 as they prepared a counterattack with the US 6th Fleet against the Russians. Using information recovered from Rojas, they learn that Prisoner 627, the only man Makarov hated worse than the Americans, was locked away in a gulag, though the path leading to the prison was blocked by oil rigs, which were captured by the Russians and turned into makeshift SAM sites. Targeting the least-defended rig, Ghost and the rest of the 141 and Navy SEALs infiltrated and cleared the rig of hostiles and rescued several hostages in order to safely deactivate the SAM sites. Following the mission, Ghost joined the attack on the gulag holding Prisoner 627, where he would take control of gulag's security systems and guide his allies to the prisoner, who was soon revealed to be Captain John Price. The Contingency With Captain Price back in their ranks, he soon devised a contingency plan to end the war in America by infiltrating a Russian submarine base. Though Ghost and his team were initially separated from Price and Roach following their insertion, they would later meet up and converge on the Russian base, where Price took control of a Russian sub. However, Ghost was shocked when Price launched an ICBM at Washington D.C. where the Russian-American war raged on. Ghost contacted Command about Code Black, which was the statement that a threat of a nuclear weapon was launched and must be disposed of immediately. It was possible that he retracted this though after he learned about Price's intention. General Shepherd killing Ghost in "Loose Ends". Using resources from his blank check, Shepherd deduced the last two safe havens for Makarov and his men at a safehouse on the Georgian-Russian Border and an airplane boneyard in Afghanistan. Knowing they have to be at two different places at once, Ghost nominates himself and Roach, along with a bulk of Task Force 141, to take the safehouse, while Soap and Price investigate the boneyard. After raiding the safehouse however, Makarov was nowhere to be found, though the safehouse was loaded ("A bloody gold mine" as Ghost said) with intel. Ghost, along with Roach, Ozone and Scarecrow, with sniper support from Archer and Toad, protected a DSM from Makarov's men while it downloaded sensitive information regarding Makarov's operations. After finishing the download, the team headed to the LZ that was set up by Shepherd, though Ozone and Scarecrow were both gunned down by enemy mortars, and Roach was injured. Ghost managed to get Roach to the LZ, but both were ultimately betrayed by Shepherd, who fatally shot the two in the chest at point-blank range with a .44 Magnum, with Roach shot first and then Ghost before he could use his ACR, killing the latter instantly. After Shepherd retrieved the DSM from Roach, Ghost's body was thrown into a ditch and set on fire along with a barely alive Roach, all the while Price radioing him too late of Shephard's betrayal.}

141 two: Name: {John MacTavish}, Nickname/Code Name: {Soap}, Appearance: {He features short brown hair (sometimes styled with a mohawk in later appearances), stubble or a trimmed beard, and standard British SAS / Task Force 141 tactical gear.} Extra: {Sergeant John MacTavish, sometimes referred to as Johnny, also known as Soap, is a character featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Soap is mentioned at the end of the Modern Warfare campaign and heard within a Call of Duty: Warzone cutscene. In Modern Warfare II, he is one of the three playable protagonists. In Modern Warfare III, Soap appears as a playable protagonist in the campaign, and in Zombies mode as a supporting character. In Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, Soap was released as a playable SAS Operator of the Coalition faction on August 3rd, 2021 as part of the "Soap Operator Bundle". In Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, he is also available as an Operator of the SpecGru faction.} Past: {Soap's dog tags, as depicted in the loading cutscene for the Modern Warfare 3 mission, Soap's dog tags, as depicted in the loading cutscene for the Modern Warfare 3 mission, Stronghold. Not much is known about Soap's early life except he was born Roman Catholic. He is from Scotland, which is evident by the Scottish flag seen on his dog tags, along with his Scottish accent. Military career: Soap served with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment prior to joining the SAS, with at least one tour in Northern Ireland. SAS career: "The F.N.G." "Right, what the hell kind of name is 'Soap', eh? How'd a muppet like you pass selection?" — Captain Price to Soap when they first meet. Soap begins his S.A.S. career during the Second Russian Civil War. Initially, Soap starts out as a Sergeant. Whilst in the S.A.S.'s training camp in Credenhill, U.K., Soap received a quick training session in weapons and techniques by a fellow S.A.S. member Gaz, before being introduced to Captain John Price and the rest of Bravo Team. He is referred to as "the F.N.G." (short for 'Fucking New Guy') by an unknown SAS soldier. After passing the C.Q.B. (close-quarter battle) test, Soap is briefed on the mission to infiltrate and assault a cargo ship in the Bering Strait. On board the ship, they discover a nuclear bomb bound for Russia, though enemy MiGs interrupt their investigations. In the process of escaping the doomed vessel, Soap was forced to leap for the ramp of the team's helicopter, just as it was beginning to fly away. He lost his grip; however, mere seconds before he was bound to fall off the vehicle, Soap was rescued by Captain Price. Rescue of Code Name: Nikolai "Two new Russians in my life. Nikolai, who we came for - and Kamarov, who we couldn't wait to get away from." Soap talks about the mission to rescue Nikolai in his journal. Upon completing the mission, Soap, Price and Gaz travel to the Caucasus Mountains in Russia to extract the informant who supplied them with the intelligence for the cargo ship, a man codenamed "Nikolai". Loyalists led by Sergeant Kamarov, working in close conjunction with Russian government, aid them on their mission. They successfully locate and extract Nikolai from the battle zone, though their helicopter is shot down by an Ultranationalist surface-to-air missile. Bravo Team, Nikolai and another S.A.S operator is forced to fight their way through enemy lines, before being provided with support from an AC-130H Spectre Gunship, call-signed "Wildfire." They are extracted by helicopters under cover of heavy air support from Wildfire.Soap's next mission with Bravo Team would take him to Azerbaijan, clearing through an abandoned village in search of Khaled Al-Asad. Upon locating him, Soap witnessed Al-Asad's interrogation and execution at the hands of Captain Price, learning that Imran Zakhaev had been Al-Asad's weapons supplier.[4] The next day, it appears Soap was designated the team's support man, being equipped with both an M249 and M21 sniper rifle. He was placed in charge of covering the team's retreat with the Minigun from a downed Black Hawk (destroying several Ultranationalist Helicopters in the process) and detonating the explosive charges placed at Phase Line Bravo. Afterwards, he was the point man when the squad had to backtrack to the lower part of the village due to heavy coverage of Anti Aircraft weapons in the vicinity. Following this, Soap and the rest of Bravo Team were extracted by US Marines led by Staff Sergeant Griggs. Chasing the Son of Zakhaev: "Soap, restrain him now!" — Captain Price to Soap after cornering Victor Zakhaev. MacTavish's final mission in the Russian civil war saw him infiltrating Russia as part of the joint task force of United States Marine Corps and SAS operators in order to eliminate Imran Zakhaev's nuclear capability. After grouping with US forces, Soap and his allies proceeded to enter an Ultranationalist outpost and secure it, as part of plan to capture Zakhaev's son, Victor Zakhaev. After a few hours, a convoy arrives in the outpost, led by Victor himself. Bravo Team, disguised as Russian guards, allow Victor to enter the facility, though quickly reveal their true intentions and attack his forces. During the battle that followed, Soap and Griggs provided sniper support for the rest of the team from a high tower. However, Victor Zakhaev rammed his jeep into one of the legs of the tower, sending it tumbling to the ground, providing the perfect distraction to get away. Stunned, Soap was unable to take down Victor before he could get away. After chasing him through a small village, and a five-story building, Soap and the rest of the team corner Victor. Unwilling to betray his father's secrets, Victor committed suicide before Soap could take away his weapon. "You are going to be all right, my friend!" — Kamarov to Soap when he rescues him. Angered at his son's death, Zakhaev threatened to launch nuclear missiles at the East Coast of America if US and British forces did not withdraw from Russia. In order to handicap Zakhaev's nuclear threat, Soap, Price, Gaz, Griggs, and several other SAS members parachuted into the Altay Mountains in order to reach his launch facility. However, their mission was delayed by Griggs's separation and subsequent capture. After eventually locating and recovering him, Soap planted a set of C4 on a power tower, destroying the electricity supply to the facility. Following this, the team regrouped with US snipers before witnessing a double nuclear missile launch at Zakhaev's hands. Entering the facility, the team furiously fought against time to reach the launch control center, and eventually deactivated the missiles. However, the team was unable to prevent Zakhaev's escape, and he managed to depart the facility before anything could be done. The group then attempted to escape, with Soap provided all-around covering fire for their jeep as they made their way to the extraction site. However, Zakhaev's Mi-24 Hind severely damaged the bridge, causing the jeep to crash and forcing Soap and his companions to make continue on their own. Fighting fiercely at the bridge in a massive penultimate battle, Soap was blown to the ground and severely injured by an exploding fuel truck. But he was pulled into cover by SSgt. Griggs, moments before Griggs himself was killed. He then watched helplessly as Imran Zakhaev and his bodyguards executed Gaz and two other SAS operatives. Just as all hope seemed lost, a Loyalist Mi-28 gunship destroyed the Ultranationalist Mi-24 Hind, forcing Zakhaev and his henchmen to turn away their attention from Soap and open fire on the helicopter. With Zakhaev and his men's attention diverted, a heavily wounded Price slid Soap his M1911 pistol, which Soap used to kill Zakhaev and two of his bodyguards just as they began to turn. Moments later, Loyalist forces flooded the scene and Kamarov came to Soap's aid, placing him onto a stretcher, and assuring him that he will be alright. Soap passed out during the middle of extraction, though survived his wounds alongside Price. After he recovered, he thought all of his squadmates had died, including Price. Inter-War period "Plan is pretty simple: Get stronger than before." — Soap talks about his fitness and injures in his journal. Soap recuperated in Russia with Nikolai, then in a military hospital in Birmingham, U.K. before returning to Credenhill. He began to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, believing it was his fault that Griggs, Gaz and the others had died while feeling guilty that he had survived. Additionally, he was also angered at the Nuclear Crisis in Russia being covered up, and held some disdain towards the governments of the US, UK, and Russian Federation for doing so. Due to the cover-up, he was unable to tell Gaz's family what really happened to him, even though he felt they deserved to know. However, Soap does take some comfort in having killed Zakhaev, saying it makes it worthwhile. He was also under the impression that Price had perished alongside the others. He mostly spent his time running circuits and getting fitter, vowing to be stronger than before. "If Horses didn't work, maybe smoking will." — Soap in his journal. During time on leave, he visited Price's favorite race course in Hereford. On the way back to Credenhill he visited a tobacco shop and picked up a box of Price's favorite cigars. "Another commanding officer with a caterpillar? DESTINY." — Soap's thoughts in his journal. During the inter-war period Soap decided to create a multinational Task Force. He managed to get the Commander of the U.S. forces in the middle east, Shepherd, to become the Task Force's Commander. He evaluated recruits from the U.S. Army Rangers, Special Air Service and Canadian Special Operations Regiment. Reunited: Sometime before Operation Kingfish, Soap was reunited with Price. With Price joining as Field Commander of his newly formed Task Force.} Skills & Abilities: {High Intelligence Soap shows strong situational awareness, problem-solving, and the ability to learn quickly under pressure. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009), he helps Roach infiltrate a Russian airbase during Cliffhanger and participates in complex operations against Makarov's network. In the reboot, his resourcefulness is particularly evident in Alone (2022), where he must improvise while separated from his equipment and allies. Military Training: Soap is an SAS operator trained for special reconnaissance, infiltration, demolitions, sniping, and close-quarters combat. The reboot's introductory description explicitly identifies him as a sniper and demolitions expert. His missions demonstrate the practical application of this training. Indomitable Will: In Modern Warfare 2 (2009), General Shepherd stabs Soap in the chest during Endgame. Despite his severe injury, Soap pulls the knife out and throws it at Shepherd, killing him. This is one of the clearest demonstrations of his determination and ability to act under extreme physical distress. Leadership: In the original continuity, Soap rises to command Task Force 141 after Price's capture. He directs teammates, makes decisions in high-risk situations, and takes responsibility for mission success. In the reboot, he increasingly operates as a trusted member of Price's team, though Price remains the principal commander. Gunmanship: Soap is highly capable with firearms in general, combining rapid target engagement, weapon handling, and combat judgment. His proficiency is evident throughout the series, particularly in intense firefights where he must transition between targets and weapons quickly. Marksmanship: Soap's sniper background is explicitly established. In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), he begins as a sniper under Captain Price's command. His shooting skills remain important throughout the franchise, although his later role expands beyond precision shooting. Weapon Proficiency: Soap can use a wide variety of firearms and military equipment. His operations require him to adapt to changing loadouts, close-quarters encounters, and longer-range engagements. In Alone (2022), he demonstrates resourcefulness by gathering equipment and using what he can find to survive. Expert Tactician: Soap learns to assess enemy positions, coordinate with teammates, and adapt when an operation goes wrong. Cliffhanger demonstrates coordinated infiltration, while Endgame (2009) shows him and Price pursuing Shepherd through a hostile environment. In Modern Warfare II (2022), his cooperation with Ghost during Alone further demonstrates practical tactical thinking. Stealth Expertise: Soap participates in covert infiltration, surveillance, and sabotage missions. Cliffhanger is a particularly strong example: he infiltrates an enemy airbase under harsh environmental conditions, retrieves sensitive material, and attempts to escape without triggering a full-scale engagement. Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Soap is trained for close-quarters combat and can fight effectively when firearms are unavailable or impractical. His military background and close-combat encounters support this classification. However, the games provide stronger evidence for his overall combat proficiency than for a formally ranked level of unarmed martial arts mastery. Knife Mastery: Soap demonstrates exceptional composure and precision with a knife during Endgame (2009). After Shepherd stabs him, Soap pulls the knife from his chest and throws it at Shepherd, killing him. This is a remarkable feat of improvised weapon use and determination, but it does not independently establish that he is the franchise's foremost knife fighter.}

third 141: Name: {Kyle Gaz Garrick}, Nickname: {Gaz}, Gender: {Male}, Pronouns: {he/him}, Biography: {As a member of Task Force 141, alongside Captain Price, Ghost, Charly and Alex. He goes on a mission to Lisbon to free a group of hostages apparently held by Nikto. Gaz is grouped with Charly and Alex for their mission, and they head to secure the garage. During this time, Charly expresses her distrust for Ghost, which Gaz notes. The trio neutralize the guards patrolling the parking garage, but find no trace of Nikto nor the hostages. Ghost and Price don't find anything on their end either, until Charly sees an elevator arriving at their level. They think it's Nikto, but instead they find barrels containing explosives, forcing them to exit the garage. When they make it outside, they only find Price, having apparently left Ghost behind for him to deal with Cipher. A moment later, the building explodes, leading the team to think Ghost is dead, only to find him carrying Cipher on his shoulders, who's unconscious. Cipher is then rushed to a hospital, with the team unaware they are followed by Foxtrot. Upon arriving at the hospital, doctors tend to Cipher while Gaz lays out the information: a dozen bombings have occurred besides the one in Lisbon, and that the "People's Covenant" is taking credit for the attacks. Ghost believes Cipher is the key. All of a sudden, UAC agents in suits arrive to collect Cipher, which results in a skirmish between the agents, Cipher and Captain Price. Cipher is eventually anesthetized and taken away by the agents. Gaz later accompanies Price, Ghost and the agents, with Cipher in tow, to a black site in the Moroccan desert. Along the way, they meet Roach and Farah, who offers them a ride. While en route to the site, their convoy is ambushed by Phantom and Specter. Gaz is then assigned to call for evac and support along with Farah, while Price instructs Ghost to secure a hill and he and Roach scope the place out. Gaz's request for backup receives response as he is notified of helicopters arriving in 15 minutes. After Captain Price and Foxtrot are shot down over the skies of Morocco, Gaz and Alex are dispatched on a rescue mission to recover them. Alex requests for backup, but is denied, and instead ordered to fall back. Before they can make sense of the current situation, Sparrowhawk suddenly appears, attacking both Gaz and Alex as well as the enemy troopers. Before she can finish the job however, UAC reinforcements arrive to assist them, giving them time to recover and get to the extraction site. Upon reaching there, they discover a group of wounded guerrillas, one of them manages to cough out information that Cipher found them before they found him. Some time later, Gaz attends a UAC briefing at their operations base in Tel Aviv, Israel. He, along with Alex, Tempest and Keegan are present during the briefing; Cipher has slipped through cordons by the UAC as well as the People's Covenant in Morocco and is at large, while Foxtrot (whose real name is revealed as former First Lieutenant Denise McDaniels) has been charged as an accessory and is considered a terrorist sympathizer, the UAC deems the apprehension or termination of Cipher its top priority. Gaz doesn't believe Foxtrot is a terrorist, and Alex then asks the agents what evidence do they have against her. They remind them that Foxtrot resigned her commission and while searching for her brother, she committed numerous criminal acts, on top of that after she made contact with Cipher she went radio silent and is believed to be helping her brother escape justice. Until new evidence is presented that refutes that, both are to be considered enemy combatants. Gaz feels the UAC's 'top priority' feels like a massive overreaction, and he discusses the matter with Alex. During this, the agents pinpoint 20 People's Covenant sites that are within reaching distance from where Cipher and Foxtrot were last seen. After the briefing, he further discusses Foxtrot and Cipher's situation. Tempest finds laughable the idea that Foxtrot would even join the People's Covenant, while Keegan mentions that 2 of the sites they've been sent to investigate are inactive for over a year. Gaz feels that everything has stunk to high heaven ever since they got their hands on Cipher, Alex deduces that he and Foxtrot may have sensitive information, and that anyone close to them is by default also considered to have the sensitive information, meaning someone is afraid of what they know and is throwing them under the bus. Alex realizes they must get to them before the someone does, or else they're dead and the chance of finding out what the root of the situation dies with them.} Appearance: {Ethnicity: Black British Hair: Black Eyes: Brown, Gear & Attire: Typically wears tactical military and Special Air Service (SAS) gear, including black or dark-toned tactical vests, combat uniforms, caps, and operator skins.} Past: {Kyle Garrick enlisted in the British Army in 2008,[2][3] serving in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, spending four years participating in test flights, jump competition and marksmanship before passing selection for Her Majesty's elite Special Air Service (SAS), where he is currently serving as a Sergeant for his ninth year. Tasked to Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Garrick has spent the better part of his career hunting terrorist fighters. Kyle earned the U.S. Marine Corps Gold Parachute Wings at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina whilst on an exchange attachment and routinely cross-loads on operations with the SAS' American counterparts, the Navy SEALs. Required to undergo resistance to interrogation (RTI) testing, Kyle was the only candidate in his class to escape the facility and evade capture. Routinely subjected to physically and mentally uncomfortable scenarios, Kyle prides himself on high tolerance and tactical awareness. "Everyone talks about the physical aspect of being in the SAS but my job is mostly mental. Give me a guy who's got his mindset right over a guy who's twice as fit any day of the week." Sergeant Garrick was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal and the General Service Medal for both covert and overt counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East, disrupting opium supply lines and poppy production, a major source of terrorist financing. Kyle's last Middle Eastern tour was cut short due to an ever-changing political climate and a growing intolerance for full-throated unconventional warfare. Fading support for western backed guerrilla movements as well as growing regional tension complicated matters in the field, as men like Kyle are asked to do an imperfect job, perfectly well, without exception, no matter the cost. With expertise in prime target elimination, demolitions, weapons tactics, covert surveillance and VIP protection, Kyle currently serves on the SAS domestic counter-terror program, executing homefield missions with metropolitan police forces on European soil. Challenging duty, due to civilian and collateral damage issues, Kyle seeks the opportunity to serve abroad again, and make a real difference combating the threat of terror. With the SAS notoriously shrouded in secrecy, Kyle explains— "We move in silence, do our job, and melt away. No publicity, no media. It takes stamina, willpower, guts and brains. Got those, we'll welcome you a try at being one of us. If you haven't got all that, then off with you..." Tracking Al-Qatala Piccadilly "They sent us in half-assed... so everyone can just keep pretending we're not at war." — Kyle Garrick On October 25th, 2019, Garrick was working with CTSFO tracking Al-Qatala terrorists at Piccadilly Circus. After stepping out of their vehicle, Garrick and the CTSFO officers hold Al-Qatala insurgents at gunpoint before a bomb is detonated. Garrick and the CTSFO engage with AQ, clearing out train stations, book stores, and an arcade. Once these locations were clear, Garrick moved on the Tanto building, where he linked up with Captain John Price's Bravo Team shortly before making entry. Together, Price and Garrick moved through the ground floor before continuing to the second level. Once up there, they found a group of hostages with an explosive vest on one. Price and Garrick attempt to disarm the device, but find that they don't have enough time. Price shoves Garrick back before flipping the hostage over the railing, the vest detonating immediately afterward. After the threat had been neutralized, Price and Garrick discuss what had happened, where Garrick vents his frustration about the rules of engagement. Price sympathizes with Garrick, and after learning that he had intel on the terrorist cell responsible for the attack, assigns him to Bravo Team. Clean House Two days after Piccadilly, Garrick and Price lead a raid on a townhouse in Camden Town. They make entry and begin to clear the townhouse floor by floor, eliminating AQ fighters as they go. After clearing three floors, Garrick and Price move on to the attic, where they find a lone female. After giving her orders to surrender, she turns to a table, but she is killed by the two SAS operatives. Garrick discovers that she was going for a detonator, while Price finds intel on The Wolf's location. Embassy The next night, Garrick and Price are flying to the United States Embassy in Urzikstan to retrieve The Wolf. On approach, their helicopter is shot down, but they are able to use a fast rope to bail out and land on the roof. They make their way to the ground floor, where Price tells Alex to move The Wolf to a safe room in the basement. They start to make their way there when Al-Qatala breaches the Embassy. Garrick and Price fight their way through AQ to get to the safe room, where they regroup with Alex, Farah, and Hadir. While in the panic room, they find that they need the Ambassador's keycard to escape. He uses security cameras and an intercom to talk to the Ambassador, but he is killed before Kyle can direct him to safety. Luckily, the Ambassador's assistant was hiding under his desk, and Garrick is able to direct her across the floor to Farah and Price, who escorts her to the basement. The group then makes their way to the Ambassador's residence, where they lock down The Wolf. The residence is then under siege, and the group attempts to defend. Garrick, Price, and Farah make their way to one rooftop while Alex and Hadir defend another. After repelling a wave of AQ, they come under fire from mortars and are forced off the roof. They defend against another wave of AQ, before Price calls Garrick over to one of the buildings to resupply. In there, Price gives Garrick a laser designator. They leave the building and make their way to its roof, where they defend against AQ snipers and RPGs from a construction site across the street. After defending against them, Garrick uses the designator to signal airstrikes on AQ reinforcements that are arriving by truck. Once the trucks are clear, Garrick assists Hadir in clearing a building where the mortars are being fired from. Once the house was clear, Hadir and Garrick made their way back to the embassy to find that AQ launched another attack and had breached the perimeter. They managed to get back inside the residence and cleared it, saving the Ambassador's assistant again, but they found that The Wolf had escaped during the fighting. Highway of Death While Hadir, Farah, and Alex are covering the Crossroads, Garrick was with Price going door to door trying to find The Wolf and The Butcher. Later, he helps Alex leave the bunker after Hadir detonated the stolen gas against the Russians. The Wolf's Den After finding where The Wolf was holed up, Garrick assaults the compound with Price, Farah, and Alex trying to find him, Hadir, and The Butcher. Garrick clears two buildings with Price and other SAS, finding more intel on AQ operations. After the second building was clear, they get intel from a woman about the entrance to a tunnel system in a tea house. After Alex and Farah go down the hole, a suicide bomber detonates their vest, collapsing the tunnel behind them. After the tunnel collapsed, Garrick worked with the rest of the SAS to secure the rest of the compound while Farah and Alex worked their way to The Wolf. Old Comrades After Farah's forces were labeled as terrorists, Price and Garrick take an unsanctioned trip to Russia to find The Butcher. With the help of Nikolai, they find him in St. Petersburg. After getting weapons from Nikolai, Garrick and Price assault a warehouse AQ is using. They kill the sentries in the alleyway, and then inside as well. After clearing the building, they chase The Butcher through the streets of St. Petersburg. The chase ends when Nikolai hits The Butcher with his van. They load The Butcher in the van, but it has trouble starting. Garrick fends off AQ fighters swarming the van before it finally starts, allowing them to escape. They go to a warehouse, where they work on interrogating The Butcher. After The Butcher taunts Price and Garrick, Price sends the Sergeant to retrieve a package Nikolai brought. Garrick opens the back of Nikolai's van to find a woman and a child. He brings them back to the room, where Price steps out and offers Garrick a choice. Garrick decides to participate in the interrogation and forces the woman and boy inside. It is revealed that they are The Butcher's family. Price gives Garrick a revolver, which he uses to intimidate The Butcher. When Garrick pulls the trigger, he discovers that the gun isn't loaded. Price then gives Garrick bullets, and grabs The Butcher's son. Now that the gun is loaded, The Butcher tells Price where the rest of the stolen gas is. When asked about Hadir, The Butcher says it is too late and that Barkov will be dead. Price leaves the room, knowing where the gas and Hadir are, leaving Garrick for a minute. Garrick either leaves, wounds, or kills The Butcher before leaving. Drawing the line After interrogating The Butcher, Garrick and Price take the police vehicle and travel towards their next location. Successfully passing a police checkpoint, Garrick begins to question Price's actions with taking in The Butcher's wife and son in order to gain information on Hadir's location. Price answers back that they were used as leverage to which Garrick responds with them being hostages. Price recalls what Garrick said to him at Piccadilly in regards to "taking off the gloves" and uses it to justify the consequences of what happens when the gloves are taken off. Garrick asks where they draw the line on this to which Price answers with "wherever you need it Sergeant". After this exchange, Price asks whether Garrick has second thoughts and wants to back out. After a quick thought into it, Garrick answers with saying he has no second thoughts and is still in. Going Dark Garrick and Price travel to General Barkov's estate, where they find Al-Qatala have already killed the guards and taken over. Garrick infiltrates the grounds with Price on overwatch, and he goes around the estate looking for hostages. He goes to the poolhouse, the clocktower, and a church. At the third location, he discovers that the hostage broke and gave up information on Barkov, a room in the main building and the code to access it. Garrick makes his way there, meeting Price outside the room. They enter the room to find Hadir there, and they capture him, taking intel on the factory that makes Barkov's gas. As they take Hadir, a helicopter opens fire on the house, destroying the room. After the helicopter stops firing, Garrick and Price escort Hadir out of the house and to a tunnel that leads away from the estate. Before leaving, Kate Laswell arrives and orders Garrick and Price to give her Hadir, after which he is given to the Russians. Into the Furnace Garrick and Price travel back to Urzikstan and recruit Farah and Alex. After they are done, they assault the factory, clearing out Barkov's forces on the way. Garrick and Price split from the rest of the group and fight their way to the pipelines that supply the factory, setting charges on them before leaving the factory. Task Force 141 Joining the Task Force After the destruction of the factory in Georgia, Price works with General Shepherd and Laswell to form Task Force 141, which Garrick, now known as Gaz, is recruited to. War Against Al-Qatala Main article: War Against Al-Qatala After Al-Qatala released toxic gas within Verdansk, the situation escalated with the discovery of bunkers used to store Al-Qatala weapons. Captain Price later conducts an operation in the city alongside Gaz, intent on preventing the situation from becoming any more chaotic. Hunt for Hassan and the stolen missiles As Soap and Ghost were deployed alongside with MARSOC Marines to apprehend Hassan in Al Mazrah. Gaz and Price were tracking an AQ boat in Amsterdam. Both of them eliminated Al-Qatala soldiers protecting the area and boarded the boat. There, from the phone of a Las Almas Cartel soldier, Price learnt that the Las Almas Cartel and Al-Qatala is making a deal at Café Gracht to transport a high value target to the United States, prompting Laswell to come to Amsterdam to help Gaz and Price to take the Al-Qatala's smuggler in for interrogation. On the morning of October 28th, 2022, Gaz alongside with Laswell went together to capture the Al-Qatala's smuggler, using the syringe that Laswell gave him, Gaz neutralized the first Cartel guard near the bridge. Then, he went to Price and took the decoy grenade and used it in the trash can in the alley. Taking advantages of the large bang created by the decoy grenade that Gaz used, Price killed the bodyguard and held the smuggler, then he told Gaz to come and help him secure the smuggler. But then cartel soldiers, disguised as civilians open fired on them, causing both Gaz and Price to get to a safe location and return fire. After all was clear, Gaz used the syringe and knocked the smuggler out. Then both him and Price got on Laswell's car and exited from the area.Operation in Spain through the tracker planted on Hassan's phone, Laswell found a cartel smuggling base off the coast of Spain. Gaz and Price then infiltrated the base with Laswell providing overwatch. The two then split their work, Gaz cleared the various buildings in the area while Price provided sniper support for him. Then Gaz found out about a tunnel that leads to the underneath the lighthouse, with the entrance being behind a washing machine, which prompted Price to come over there and alongside with Gaz, pushed the machine over and went beneath the lighthouse. However, the two didn't find the missile, but Al-Qatala soldiers boarded Laswell's ship and took her away. Rescuing Laswell Following Laswell's abduction, Price gathered the help of the Urzikstan Liberation Force after being denied of support from General Shepherd. Nikolai then took him and Gaz to Urzikstan, where Price gets on the cars to chase Al-Qatala's convoy alongside with Farah and the Urzikstan Liberation Force, while Gaz provided fire support from above. Nikolai's helicopter was then hit by a missile fired by Al-Qatala soldier, even though Nikolai managed to keep it up, Gaz fell out of the helicopter, barely hanging on the rope connected to his belt. After a while, Nikolai got to a suitable height and told Gaz to cut the rope. Which he did, Gaz then secured a vehicle and chased the Al-Qatala's convoy alongside Price, Farah, and the Urzikstan Liberation Force. As the convoy was reaching the border of Al Mazrah, Price told Nikolai to land the helicopter and blocked off the route. Then, Gaz alongside with Price, Farah and the ULF got out of their vehicle and engaged Al-Qatala soldiers, killing them all and successfully rescuing Laswell. Laswell then revealed that the missile guidance system was in Spain, not the missiles, and that the only person who can find them is El Sin Nombre. Helping in the prison breakout Gaz alongside with Price then traveled to the maximum security in Las Almas, Mexico after learning about the prison break there. There, Price shot down the helicopter firing at Soap, Ghost and the Los Vaqueros, allowing them to climb the rope to the top of the wall. Then, Gaz alongside with Price, Soap, Ghost, Alejandro, and Rodolfo provided fire to give other Los Vaqueros operators time to climb the rope and get out. Once all of the Los Vaqueros operators have climbed the rope, Price told everyone to leave. Then, he and the rest of Task Force 141 got into a van with Gaz being the driver, they drove away alongside with the Los Vaqueros, then Price revealed the truth. Fighting Shadow Company After finding out the truth, Price confronted General Shepherd about the remaining missiles and the betrayal from Shadow Company's forces. The two then both go into a brief argument. Shepherd revealed his true nature, telling Price that Graves is "a dog with a bone" and suggest Price to not go after him. Price then threatened the General and ended the call. Price then gathered all other members of Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros together, where he announced his plan to take back the Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters, secure Valeria and kill Commander Graves. Price then states that this is a fight against their own, and, they are not 141 or Los Vaqueros on this, re-affirming that they are a team: Ghost Team. Gaz was part of Team 1, alongside with Price, Alejandro and a Los Vaqueros pilot. They infiled in from the tunnel while Team 2, consisting of Ghost, Soap, Rodolfo and other Los Vaqueros operators waited outside the gate until Price fired on the entry gate. Team 1 then managed to maneuver through the tunnel and secured a helicopter, Price alongside with the Los Vaqueros pilot boarded the helicopter and opened fire on the entry gate, allowing Team 2 to move in. While Price was providing support for Team 2, Gaz alongside with Alejandro maneuvered around the base to get to Hangar 3 to find and secure Valeria. Once the two reached the Hangar, they killed the Shadow Company contractors inside it and secured the container, where Alejandro confirmed that Valeria was still there. Death of Hassan and final missile neutralized After Valeria is secured, Price confronted her, which she revealed the location of Hassan and the third missile: Chicago. Price then handed Valeria to Alejandro and Task Force 141 left Las Almas. Later, Task Force 141 arrives in Chicago, where Gaz infils the target building from the Chicago River with the MARSOC Marines, to eliminate Hassan and disarm the final missile. But even with their best effort, the missile was launched. Gaz then spotted Hassan, which prompted Price and Soap re-group on his position. There, they eliminated all of the enemies and went near door of the room where Hassan was hiding, but before Soap could use the snake cam, the door was breached and they were knocked down. Gaz managed to get up and brought both Soap and Price to a safe location. Gaz then helped distracting Hassan, allowing Soap to take the missile control and successfully disarmed the missile. Hassan was later killed by Ghost.}

Price carried MacMillan to the extraction point, where they were rescued after holding their ground against Ultranationalists. SAS Captain "Right… What the hell kind of name is Soap, eh? How'd a muppet like you pass Selection?" — Captain Price's first words to John "Soap" MacTavish In the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, Price held the rank of Captain and led a SAS squad, designated "Bravo Team", from the Bering Strait, to Russia, to Azerbaijan and finally back to Russia. Under his command throughout the events were Gaz and then Sgt. John "Soap" MacTavish, as well as others such as Mac, Sergeant Arem, Sergeant Barton, Sergeant Wallcroft and then Private Griffen. Bering Strait Captain Price in a Black Hawk helicopter during the mission Crew Expendable. "The package is aboard a medium freighter. Estonian registration number 52775. There is a small crew and security detail onboard." — Price briefing the troops before the mission. After meeting MacTavish, Bravo Team is deployed to the Bering Strait and assaults an Estonian cargo ship containing a nuclear device. Price is puzzled to see that there is Arabic writing on the container, along with a Middle-Eastern flag draped on the floor. As he signals the chopper for extraction of the container, the boat is fired upon by MiG-29 fighters. They are then forced to escape to the helicopter as the boat starts to sink. As they reach the helicopter and jump for safety, Soap almost slips off, but Price grabs him just in time, saving him from falling to his death.. Rescuing Codename "Nikolai" Price, during the search for Nikolai. "Nikolai's in hell right now, we're gonna walk him out. We take care of our friends. Let's move." — Price to Gaz before rescuing Nikolai. The next mission takes them to Russia, where they work with Sgt. Kamarov's Loyalists to rescue their compromised informant, Nikolai. Kamarov keeps delaying the SAS team with the hope that their assistance would help him retake the village from the Ultranationalists, but acquiesces and reveals the informant's location when threatened by Gaz. Price, Gaz, and Soap then storm the house where Nikolai is held hostage. Once inside, Gaz cuts the power, plunging the house into darkness and the team kill Ultranationalists Viktor and Sasha, and three others before they get Nikolai. Shot Down Price answering Al-Asad's phone. "All right. Let's top these bastards before they kill the old man." — Price before saving the farmer. Price, along with Soap and Gaz, then extract Nikolai on a chopper, but the chopper is shot down by an enemy surface-to-air missile and they are forced fight their way to the extraction point with the aid of an AC-130H Spectre, codename "Wildfire". Along the way they save the life of an old farmer. Search for Al-Asad Victor Zakhaev "Zakhaev's son, commander of the Ultranationalist forces in the field. Rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The Loyalist, Kamarov, has got a location on the kid." — Price telling Griggs of his plan. After escaping the Ultranationalists, Price leads a joint-task force (SAS, U.S. Marines, and Loyalists) in capturing Victor Zakhaev. This mission takes them through an abandoned Russian village, ending at a five-story building. Price orders Soap to "take his (Zakhaev's) weapon and restrain him." The mission fails when Victor Zakhaev commits suicide before Soap can comply. 15,000 Nukes at Stake 'They've started a bloody countdown! Zakhaev's gonna launch the remaining missiles!" — Price to his team. Victor's death deeply affects Imran Zakhaev, who threatens to launch missiles at the United States. In the end, he still launches them anyway. The SAS and Marines then fight through the facility, deactivating the nukes. During the events of No Fighting In The War Room, the joint task force breaches the facility, eventually reaching the control center. Soap then uploads the missile abort codes and self-destructs the nukes over the Atlantic, saving the U.S. Eastern Seaboard from nuclear annihilation. Zakhaev is last seen departing the facility in an Ultranationalist helicopter. Chased by Imran Zakhaev Captain Price slides his M1911 .45 to Soap in the mission "Game Over" The screenshot itself, however, is from the reveal trailer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. "Well at least the world didn't end. Hit it." — SSgt. Griggs After deactivating the missiles, Price, Soap, Gaz and Griggs are chased on a highway in trucks, but an enemy Hind helicopter destroys a bridge, stopping their escape. A tanker truck blows up, badly wounding Price and the others. Griggs and Gaz are both killed but Price manages to slide his M1911 over to Soap, who kills Zakhaev and his bodyguards when they are distracted by the arrival of a Loyalist helicopter gunship that destroys the Hind. Afterwards, a Russian medic can be seen trying, seemingly in vain, to revive Price. He and Soap are taken to a Russian hospital. Despite the best efforts of the combined U.S. and British strike team, the Ultranationalists managed to withstand the loss of Zakhaev and eventually succeed in gaining power in Russia in 2016. Captain Price during Operation Kingfish. Sometime after recovering from their wounds sustained in the Zakhaev incident, both Price and Soap were reassigned to General Shepherd's newly formed elite unit, Task Force 141. Acting as the field commander for the regiment, Price led his new unit on countless covert operations with the key goal of capturing/killing Vladimir Makarov, who by that time had established himself as the new leader of a terrorist cell of the Ultranationalist party in the wake of Zakhaev's death. On October 8, 2013, Price led a joint Task Force 141/Delta Force operation codenamed Operation Kingfish to raid an Ultranationalist base in Ukraine suspected to house Makarov. Price conducted the raid along with Soap, Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley, Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, and Delta Force operatives Sergeant Derek "Frost" Westbrook and Master Sergeant Sandman. However, the raid went awry and the strike force was overwhelmed by dozens of Ultranationalist soldiers. The team escaped via a V-22 Osprey, with the exception of Price, who was captured while covering the team's escape. This then led to The Gulag, where Price was known as Prisoner #627. 3 Years Later Price pointing his AK-47 at Roach near the end of the mission. After capture, Price was imprisoned in a Gulag to the east of Petrovpavlosk, Russia, and was designated "Prisoner 627". Price would remain imprisoned in the Gulag until 2016, when he was rescued by Task Force 141 when they attacked the site to recover him. Upon being discovered, Price mistakenly attacked Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson, a fellow member of the 141, and aimed an AK-47 at him, but after recognizing Captain MacTavish, he relents and joins the unit and MacTavish returns the M1911 pistol used to kill Zakhaev in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (when Soap returns the pistol, he says "This belongs to you, sir", a reference to the first Modern Warfare). After his rescue from the gulag, Price is reinstated into the Task Force and reprises his role as a captain, being present in the Task Force 141's mission briefings. "Missile in the Air!" "Roger that Soap. I've found Roach. He appears to be intact." — Price to Soap upon finding Gary Sanderson. After reinstatement, Price agrees to help the Task Force in the attempt to kill Vladimir Makarov. However, Price decides, against the wishes of General Shepherd, who insisted that Makarov be their top priority, that the war still raging in the United States needs to end before they focus on Makarov. He acts as a specialist in a raid on a Russian naval base, seemingly to destroy a submarine, only to launch a nuclear missile towards the United States with the purpose of using an electromagnetic pulse on the Eastern Coast of the United States. The missile launch saves the lives of Sergeant Foley, Corporal Dunn, Private Ramirez, and countless other U.S. Army Rangers but also destroys all electrical equipment during the Battle of Washington D.C. Betrayal by Shepherd "Do NOT trust Shepherd- I say again, DO NOT TRUST SHEPHERD! Soap! GET DOWN!" — Price's warning to Ghost & Roach of Shepherd's betrayal. After the Contingency mission, Task Force 141 is directed to two places where Makarov could be hiding; a safehouse on the Georgian-Russian border and an arms deal at an aircraft boneyard in southwestern Afghanistan. The unit splits up; With Ghost, Roach, and the bulk of the task force taking the safehouse, while Price investigates the arms deal with Soap. However, both forces are attacked by Shepherd's men. Price attempts to warn Ghost and Roach about Shepherd, but he is too late. Although Soap is shocked and angered, Price tells him that he never trusted Shepherd in the first place. Intent on revenge, Price asks Makarov for intel on Shepherd's location, on the premise that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and that he will "do the rest". Makarov grudgingly tells Price that Shepherd is using a secret mountain base in Afghanistan, designated "Site Hotel Bravo". Makarov then says, "I'll see you in hell." Price replies "Looking forward to it. Give my regards to Zakhaev for me if you get there first." Price and Soap, alongside their driver Rook then evacuate the boneyard with Nikolai's help, though Rook is killed by Shadow Company forces. Revenge on Shepherd Price preparing to engage Shadow Company. "The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him." — Captain Price's Speech In the face of General Shepherd's betrayal, the pair decide to avenge Roach, Ghost, the Task Force and themselves. They are dropped off at Site Hotel Bravo by Nikolai and stealthily infiltrate the base. They then battle Shadow Company forces through Site Hotel Bravo's cave system. Shepherd self-destructs the entire base and then orders a Danger-Close artillery strike, intending to kill the duo at the cost of his own men. Soap and Price survive and pursue Shepherd on a Zodiac speedboat along a river. Shepherd eventually boards a Pave Low, but Price is able to shoot it down. However, the Zodiac he and Soap are on falls down a waterfall. Soap is separated from Price and attempts to kill Shepherd with his knife, only for Shepherd to counter the attack and stab Soap with his own knife. Just as Shepherd is about to execute Soap with his .44 Magnum, Price tackles Shepherd, engaging him in a lengthy hand-to-hand fight. Price is overpowered by Shepherd and is close to being beaten to death, but is saved when Soap pulls the knife out of his chest and throws it into Shepherd's left eye, killing the treacherous general. Price wakes up and starts to patch up Soap's injuries as much as he can. The two are then evacuated by Nikolai, who informs them of a potential hiding place. During the course of the betrayal, Task Force 141 is disavowed and Price and MacTavish are labeled as wanted war criminals. Saving Soap After killing Shepherd, Soap's wounds nearly cause him to bleed to death on the trip to Nikolai's safehouse in India. To make matters worse, a large group of Makarov's men assault the safehouse in an attempt to kill the remnants of Task Force 141. Soap would not have survived had it not been for the actions of Price, Nikolai, and newfound ally Yuri. After escaping from the ruined safehouse and fighting through the streets of Himachal Pradesh, they are evacuated by Nikolai, once they've picked up Yuri who slides down a hill after a Ultranationalist UAV drone destroys a platform Yuri is running across. Back on the Grid Price, Soap & Yuri during their hunt for Makarov. "Makarov wouldn't let this travel lightly if it didn't serve a greater purpose, and chances are the bastard will be there personally to see things off.
