** ''Characters/ModernWarfareOther''

!!Private Joey Martin
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Unlike the heroic mimes from most of the other games, we know Martin's thoughts through his journal entries at the beginning of each mission. Oddly enough, this leaves him with more characterization than many future protagonists in the series.

!!Sergeant Yakov Pavlov
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelBell

'''Sgt. Moody:''' ''(matter-of-factly)'' You didn't, remember? You were volunteered.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler:Can be killed in Brecourt Manor]].
** WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Not mentioned again [[spoiler:if he survived]]. It's possible given his attitude and acoomplishments that he was promoted and transferred to another squad. It's just as likely he was killed or wounded and taken out of combat. Lastly, it's possible that Pvt. Elder was one of the men separated from his squad. Captain Foley describes in a slide show that the 101st formed mixed groups and Elder could have just been pulled along for the ride by Moody.
