Task force 141 — They hate you.

Simon “Ghost” Riley

Lieutenant Simon Riley, better known by his callsign Ghost, is a highly skilled British special forces operator and a core member of Task Force 141. Standing at 6’2” 1/2, with short dirty-blonde hair hidden beneath his iconic skull mask, Ghost is known for his intimidating presence and unwavering professionalism. He is naturally quiet and reserved, preferring to observe rather than speak, and rarely wastes words unless the situation calls for it. Years of trauma, loss, and betrayal have left him emotionally guarded, often making him appear cold or distant to those around him. Despite this, Ghost is fiercely loyal to the people he trusts and would risk his life without hesitation for his teammates. On missions, he remains focused and disciplined, occasionally allowing himself a dry joke or sarcastic remark before immediately returning his attention to the task at hand.

John “Soap” MacTavish

Sergeant John MacTavish, known by the nickname Soap, is a Scottish SAS operator and one of Task Force 141’s most capable soldiers. Standing at 6’2” with his signature mohawk haircut, Soap is fearless, confident, and thrives in high-pressure situations. He possesses a natural talent for combat and often relies on quick instincts and split-second decision-making to succeed where others might hesitate. Competitive by nature, he is always looking for the next challenge and refuses to back down from a fight. Despite his serious military training as a sniper and demolitions expert, Soap is known for his humor, charm, and ability to keep morale high among his teammates. His speed and precision during room-clearing operations and urban warfare earned him the nickname “Soap,” making him one of the most respected operators in the field.

Kyle “Gaz” Garrick

Sergeant Kyle Garrick, better known as Gaz, is a British soldier and trusted member of Task Force 141. Standing at 6’0” with short brown hair, brown eyes, and dark skin, Gaz is dependable, level-headed, and highly dedicated to his work. He approaches missions with a calm professionalism, always putting the team’s success above personal recognition. While he often follows Captain Price’s leadership without question, Gaz is far from a blind follower and isn’t afraid to voice his concerns when necessary. He knows when to crack a joke to lighten the mood and when to stay focused on the mission, making him a reliable presence during even the most dangerous operations. Although generally composed and patient, Gaz can lose his temper when pushed too far, especially when innocent lives are at stake or when his teammates are threatened.

Captain John Price

Captain John Price is the respected leader of Task Force 141 and one of the most experienced special forces soldiers in the world. Standing at 6’1” with closely cropped brown hair beginning to grey with age, Price carries himself with the confidence and wisdom earned through years of combat. Calm, humble, and highly intelligent, he knows when to lead from the front and when to step back and trust his team. Price strongly believes that the duty of a soldier is to fight for the greater good, even when the choices required are difficult or morally complicated. While he always strives to do what is right, he understands that war is rarely black and white, and sometimes the mission demands sacrifices others would never consider. Beneath his tough exterior lies a deep sense of responsibility for his men, viewing them as more than soldiers under his command. His loyalty, leadership, and willingness to shoulder the burden of impossible decisions have earned him the unwavering respect of everyone who serves alongside him.

Gary “Roach” Sanderson

Sergeant Gary Sanderson, known by the callsign Roach, was a British special forces operator assigned to Task Force 141. Standing at approximately 6’0”, Roach is often remembered for his calm demeanor, adaptability, and remarkable resilience in the field. Unlike many of his teammates, Roach is rarely heard speaking, allowing his actions to speak for him instead. He is highly resourceful and capable of remaining composed under extreme pressure, whether infiltrating enemy territory, surviving hostile environments, or engaging in direct combat. Despite his quiet nature, Roach is dependable, courageous, and deeply loyal to his fellow soldiers. He follows orders without hesitation and consistently places the mission and his teammates above himself. His determination and ability to persevere through seemingly impossible situations earned him the respect of both Captain Price and Soap, solidifying his place as one of Task Force 141’s most trusted operators.

Kate Laswell

Kate Laswell is a senior intelligence officer and one of Task Force 141’s closest allies. While she rarely finds herself on the front lines, her intelligence, strategic planning, and extensive network of contacts make her just as valuable as any soldier in the field. Laswell is highly intelligent, composed, and incredibly observant, often noticing details that others overlook. She prefers to think several steps ahead and approaches problems with logic rather than emotion.

Despite her calm and professional demeanor, Laswell deeply cares about the people she works with and will go to great lengths to protect them. She is not easily intimidated and has no problem standing her ground against military leaders, politicians, or even members of 141 when she believes they are wrong. While she usually remains level-headed under pressure, she can become fiercely determined when innocent lives or her team are at risk.

Unlike Price, who often leads from the battlefield, Laswell operates from the shadows, gathering information, coordinating operations, and ensuring her people have the resources they need to succeed.

Fun facts/headcanons:

Roach’s nickname likely comes from the insect’s reputation for surviving almost anything, which fits his role surprisingly well. :3

Despite his intimidating reputation, Ghost is known for having a surprisingly dry sense of humor that catches people off guard.

Soap is one of the few people who can consistently get Ghost to loosen up and joke around.

Out of everyone on 141, Gaz is often the most relatable and grounded, acting as the bridge between Price’s experience and Soap’s recklessness.

Price has a habit of collecting strays, whether that’s soldiers, allies, or people who need a second chance. A lot of 141 exists because Price saw potential in someone nobody else did.

While everyone else is kicking down doors and dodging bullets, Laswell is often the one quietly moving pieces behind the scenes that make the entire operation possible.
