Backstory: Born in Scotland in the United Kingdom, John MacTavish is a lifelong football fan often playing as a goalkeeper. One day, MacTavish was invited by his cousin, a member of the 23 Regiment of the Special Air Service, to see how it was like to be in the British Army. Afterwards, MacTavish often visited his cousin on weekends. When he was 16, he tried several times to enroll in the SAS and while he lied about his age, he was caught every time. After his 18th birthday, MacTavish officially joined selection for the 22 Regiment, an elite squadron specialized in covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and hostage rescues. In 2014, while training in Hereford, MacTavish's evaluator was Captain John Price. Recognizing his natural skills, exceptional proficiency and relentless dedication, Price became tough and strict with MacTavish to make him the best trainee. MacTavish was also trained as a sniper and demolitions expert. His remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance and urban warfare earned him the nickname "Soap". When selection came, MacTavish passed it with the highest possible marks on all 3 phases of the course, coming just a few seconds behind the record holder, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick. He became the youngest candidate to pass the SAS selection in the British Army history, earning him the reputation of a perpetual FNG. For his first mission, Soap joined Price's Bravo Team, traveling to the Bering Strait to secure a cargo manifest for potential WMDs. While Soap retrieved the manifest, but the vessel was scuttled by Russian aircrafts forcing the team to leave. Being the last to exfil, Soap almost fell to his death if not for Price pulling him to safety. Soap felt indebted to Price ever since. After this mission, Soap continued to carry out covert and overt operations worldwide. Soap later received a Gallantry Medal, the Victoria Cross, and the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross after an operation in Urzikstan during which his patrol was attacked by Al-Qatala. After the heavy machine gun malfunctioned, Soap stripped the weapon and reassembled it before firing 150 single shots, re-cocking the gun for every round. Soap claimed however that "any and all of his comrades would have done the same thing". In 2016, Soap almost faced disciplinary action for punching a Military Police officer, knocking him out and locking him in his own vehicle. No charge were filed to avoid embarrassment for the officer. On April 6, 2019, Soap was deployed to Verdansk, Kastovia, alongside Price and several other SAS operatives, to stop Vladimir Makarov and his Inner Circle crew from terrorizing Verdansk Stadium. Makarov was captured and taken to a helicopter, where Soap, Price, Simon "Ghost" Riley and US General Herschel Shepherd interrogated him, before realizing his real target was the airport, which saw numerous explosions shortly after. Angered, Soap attempted to kill Makarov, but Price stopped him from doing so. which helped Jansen finish her development on the neutralizer. Later, the strike team was deployed alongside the neutralizer to Zakhaev's Aetherium refining facility, where they activated the device, which attracted an Aether Worm, Orcus, to the site. Ultimately, Orcus was killed, and Zakhaev's plan was foiled, though Jansen was briefly exposed to a Dark Aether rift. Soap went on-site to confirm Zakhaev's disappearance, and affirmed that they would capture him eventually. At one point, Jansen was reported missing from Deadbolt's facility, prompting Soap to carry out a thorough search. She was tracked to Zaravan, where she entered a Dark Aether rift. Soap issued an order to the strike team to extract Jansen and return safely, with "no exceptions". In October 2022, Soap and Ghost were tasked with apprehending Hassan Zyani, who declared war on the US for the death of General Ghorbrani. Alongside a squad of MARSOC marines, they boarded a helicopter and landed in a field in Al Mazrah, the transport helicopter being shot down shortly afterwards. At Ghost's orders, the squad cleared out a building attacking the crash site and then they go to the crash site. Soap, Ghost and the crash survivor defended the crash site from AQ soldiers and vehicles with help from Kilo 0-1. The team then went to clear another building, but on the way they were attacked by snipers, whom Soap killed with his EBR-14. They cleared the building but didn't find Hassan, but instead found a missile container carrying American ballistics missiles. After learning that Hassan escaped into Las Almas with the help of the local cartel, Soap and Ghost linked up with Colonel Alejandro Vargas and his squad, Los Vaqueros. They went through the town searching for Hassan. After being attacked by the Mexican Army, Soap, Ghost and Alejandro lured them through the mountain trails and down the river while the other Vaqueros escaped, with Shadow Company Commander Phillip Graves arriving and supporting them shortly after via a gunship. The squad regrouped at a possible location of Hassan, and they assaulted the compound with help from the Shadow Company gunship. They captured Hassan and drove to another town, where they were again ambushed by the Mexican Army and cartel. Shadow Company helped them to survive until extraction. Despite the successful capture, Task Force 141 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. Meanwhile, Soap, Ghost, . They would later capture Valeria, after discovering her to be El Sin Nombre, and take her to the Fuerzas Especiales HQ. Valeria informed Task Force 141 that the missile was on an oil rig in the ocean, prompting them to infiltrate 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 Ghost and an injured Soap escaping while Alejandro was captured. Later, under Ghost's building where Hassan was located, while Ghost provided overwatch. The missile launched to their dismay, heading toward Washington. Eventually, the team caught up to Hassan, and Soap grabbed the control case and hid from Hassan and Al-Qatala forces. With Laswell's help, Soap stopped the missile, but Hassan grabbed him and almost executed him before Ghost intervened by sniping him from afar.

He became an expert in clandestine tradecraft, focused on sabotage, ambushes, and infiltrations into denied areas and hazardous environments. Ghost concealed his identity under a hallmark skull mask to maintain anonymity in the field. In April 2019, Ghost was deployed on a strike mission in the mountain desert terrain of Al Mazrah under the orders of both Laswell and General Shepherd to make visual contact on General Ghorbrani, Commander of Quds Force, Iranian Special Forces, in order to eliminate him as a potential threat while the latter was present for an arms deal with Russian Forces. Ghost confirmed the General's presence and the green light was given to Philip Graves, Commander and CEO of Shadow Company, to launch a mobile ballistic cruise missile that completely obliterated the site of the arms deal, killing everyone including Ghorbrani which Ghost then later confirmed.bSeveral months after Ghorbrani’s death, Major Hassan Zyani, Ghorbrani’s second in command, vowed vengeance against the United States and was reported to conduct secretively activities in Al Mazrah. Ghost along with Soap and Marine Special Operations Unit were dispatched to capture or kill Hassan. After fighting through a resistance from Al-Qatala who were supposedly there to protect Hassan were in fact protecting a cargo which turned out to be an American made ballistic cruise missile. Shepherd ordered Ghost and the team to destroy the missile before evacuating from Al-Mazrah. Ghost and Soap were later sent to Las Almas to meet up with Mexican Special Forces Colonel Alejandro Vargas and Sergeant Major Rodolfo Parra to hunt for Hassan whom they believed is being harbored and protected by the Las Almas Cartel with corrupt elements of the Mexican Army under the control of El Sin Nombre, leader of the Las Almas Cartel. After proved difficult to handle and were ordered to release him as his detainment was illegal. A few days later, Ghost along with Soap, Vargas and Graves were conducting over watch on a mansion belonging to one of El Sin Nombre’s lieutenant, Diego Salgado. After much discussion about getting to the cartel leader, Soap volunteered on a risky mission to infiltrate the compound with Vargas in disguised as one of the bodyguards with Ghost providing sniper overwatch and Graves on standby to snatch and grab. After they managed to capture the cartel leader who turned out to be Valeria Garza, a former member of Vargas unit, they interrogated her about the whereabouts of Hassan and the missiles, and she would offer up the information in exchange for a deal of securing her release and her cartel operation to be left undisturbed. Through the interrogation of Garza, Ghost along with 141, Los Vaqueros and Shadow Company participated in a raid on an oil rig located in the Gulf of Mexico where they located and destroyed the second missile before it had the chance to launch. As the team got back, they come to find out that Graves with the support from Shepherd had taken over the Fuerzas Especiales facility and turned on them with Vargas being captured, forcing Ghost and Soap to escape to the city and fend off any Shadow operatives hunting them before regrouping at Vargas safe house where they met up with Rodolfo and formulate a plan to infiltrate an abandoned prison which was being used by Shadow Company as a Black Site Compound to free Vargas and Vaqueros operatives currently being held captive before escaping with help from Price and Gaz. Later, Laswell finds out that Shepherd and Graves were trying to cover up their illegal activity that had occurred months earlier where Shadow Company lost possession of the missiles when they were transporting it to allies fighting Russia to a company of Russian mercenaries who later gave them to Hassan, so he could exact revenge on the United States.Ghost was present when Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros formed JTF-Ghost Team. He then briefly took his mask off before donning a ghost mask with everyone before venturing off to retake the Fuerzas Especiales facility, where they took out Graves and Shadow Company. They then questioned Garza again, which she revealed that Hassan and the last missile were located in Chicago.
