* TokenEnemyMinority: Downplayed. He's the only Korean-American member of the Ghosts, but since he's a fourth-generation American his background is of limited utility to the mission during the two Korean conflicts, unlike, say, John Kozak's fluency in Russian during the Raven Rock conflict.



* EvilGloating: In the final level he taunts you over the base's loudspeakers after being informed an American special forces team has invaded the base.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Even after the North Koreans realize the war was caused by a FalseFlagOperation by a third-party [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC]], General Paik is still hell-bent on using the crisis as an excuse to start a nuclear war with the West.


to:

* EvilGloating: In the final level he taunts you over the base's loudspeakers after being informed all the gunfire alerts him to the fact that an American special forces team has invaded the base.
* LastStand: After you spend the entire game dismantling his power base, Paik gets disavowed by the North Korean leadership and is forced to retreat to a remote abandoned military base in the far frozen north, where he and his remaining soldiers make a last stand against the Ghosts.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Even after the North Koreans realize the war was caused by a FalseFlagOperation by a third-party [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC]], General Paik is still hell-bent on using the crisis as an excuse to engage in a war to reunify the peninsula under North Korean rule, or start a nuclear war with the West.

West if that fails.
* SeeYouInHell: His last words to Captain Mitchell.
* TakingYouWithMe: After realizing the Ghosts are minutes away from either capturing him or putting a bullet in his head, he tries to launch or detonate a nuclear missile to make sure the Ghosts and[=/=]thousands of others go down with him.

to:

* BusCrash: [[spoiler: He's killed by a suicide bomber in the ''Ghost Recon'' novel, which takes place after ''Advanced Warfighter 2'']].
* JackOfAllStats: Like Ramirez and Smith, he's a rifleman and serves a general purpose role in combat.
* UnexplainedAccent: Downplayed; but despite the Ghosts having several members of Latin American heritage, Beasley is the ''only'' team member with a noticeable Latin American accent, even though you wouldn't expect this from his name or background (his bio lists him as "some kid from Oakland").




to:

* ArtificialStupidity: In the PC version of ''Advanced Warfighter 2'', there's a very real risk he'll blow up you or his other teammates with his grenade launcher unless you're very careful to maneuver him separate from the rest of the squad with very specific movement orders.
* AwesomeButImpractical: He's the squad's demolitions specialist and in the PC version of ''Advanced Warfighter 2'', his infinite ammo grenade launcher can be very powerful against groups of rebel soldiers. Unfortunately due to the ArtificialStupidity issues mentioned above he can be as much of a danger to your squad as he is to the enemy.
* TheBigGuy: His bio mentions him as being this, though it's downplayed in-game since all Ghosts use 90% the same character model.
* LeeroyJenkins: He's a grenade launcher-wielding demolitions specialist and his bio mentions that his combat style is aggressive and impatient, though not completely reckless. This is news for anyone who picks him as a team member in the PC version, as (due to flaky A.I.) he tends to fire recklessly and blow up teammates with friendly fire if you don't keep him separated from the rest of the team via team formation orders. Rather fitting given his name.



* AdaptedOut: Doesn't appear at all in the PC version of the series, likely due to [=GRIN=] deciding the squad didn't need another general purpose rifleman in addition to Ramirez and Beasley.
* JackOfAllStats: Like Ramirez and Beasley, he's a rifleman and serves a general purpose role in combat.

to:

* AscendedExtra: "Jhon Hume" was one of the anonymous supporting American infantry from the console version of ''Advanced Warfighter''. In ''Advanced Warfighter 2'' he's ascended to a member of Mitchell's Ghost squad, replacing Richard Allen as a demolitions soldier (console version) or the squad's sniper (PC version).




to:

* BadassBookworm: He was a nerd in high school and went to med school and became a family doctor; he then joined the military after witnessing the Ghosts in action as a medical volunteer during the Eritrea conflict (''Desert Siege''), eventually becoming a member of the Ghosts himself. He also wears NerdGlasses and is the only character in the series to wear corrective eyewear.
* BusCrash: [[spoiler: He's killed fighting the Taliban in the ''Ghost Recon'' novel, which takes place after ''Advanced Warfighter 2'']].
* TheMedic: He serves as the squad's medic in ''Advanced Warfighter 2'', and is the only Ghost medic in the series.

to:

* DecoyProtagonist: You play as him in the prologue mission of ''Future Soldier'' ([[spoiler: where he and his team die at the end of the prologue.]])
* DemotedToExtra: In all versions of ''Advanced Warfighter'', Ramirez is injured by rebels in the first mission after being marked by Carlos Ontiveros. In the console versions, Mitchell rescues him and he becomes a selectable Ghost teammate. In the PC version, however, Mitchell never even encounters him and he just disappears from the rest of the game. He returns in both the console and PC version of ''Advanced Warfighter 2'' as a selectable team member.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Dies in the prologue of ''Future Soldier'' alongside the rest of his team to a Raven's Rock bomb.]]
* JackOfAllStats: Like Jennifer Burke, Ramirez is a rifleman and serves a general purpose role in combat.
* UnexplainedRecovery: He was apparently killed in the ''Ghost Recon'' novel (which takes place after ''Advanced Warfighter 2''), but is alive and the leader of his own Ghost team by the time of ''Future Soldier'' ([[spoiler: only to die, for real this time, in the prologue mission]]).



* JackOfAllStats: Like Ramirez, Burke is a rifleman and serves a general purpose role in combat.




to:

* UncertainDoom: In ''Advanced Warfighter'', he and his team get overrun by Carlos and the Aguila 7, and the last you see of Nick he's critically injured and marked for medevac by Mitchell. He likely survives as he appears as a leader in the alternate continuity of ''Endwar''.



* AdaptedOut: Doesn't appear at all in the PC version of ''Advanced Warfighter'' or ''Advanced Warfighter 2''.
* The SmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female Ghost in the console version of the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series, due to Jennifer Burke being DemotedToExtra.

to:

* ActionGirl: Alongside Jennifer Burke in ''Ghost Recon 2'', and the sole female Ghost in the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series. It's mentioned in her bio that she was unable to serve in a combat role in the regular Army due to the existing restrictions at the time, but the Ghosts were not bound by said restrictions due to being an off-the-books black ops unit.

* CunningLinguist: Her bio mentions that she loves traveling and speaks several languages fluently, which proves a useful skill in field work.
* FriendlySniper: She's the team's sniper in both ''Ghost Recon 2'' and the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series, and her bio indicates her personality is friendly, but not extroverted.
* GlassCannon: It's noted her smaller stature puts her at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, but her sniper skills more than make up for it and she also trains in combat techniques designed to compensate for her smaller physique.
* The SmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female Ghost in the console version of the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series, due to Jennifer Burke being DemotedToExtra.
DemotedToExtra. However, she's not the only female U.S. combatant, as ''Advanced Warfighter 2'' also has Littlebird, an attack helicopter pilot.
* {{Tomboy}}: Is mentioned as being one in her bio.




to:

* MoreDakka: In every game he serves as the squad's support gunner, wielding an [=LMG=].
* NonIdleRich: it's mentioned in his bio that he's a former college football star from an affluent family who decided to join the military as an enlisted man instead of going into politics like his parents wanted.
* TheReliableOne: He's the only Ghost besides Scott Mitchell to appear as a selectable teammate in every single game of the "Mitchell Trilogy"; all of the other members of Mitchell's Ghost team are either missing from at least one of the games or missing from the PC versions.




to:

* FieldPromotion: In the 2 days between ''Advanced Warfighter'' and ''Advanced Warfighter 2'' he gets promoted from a member of Mitchell's squad to the leader of his own Ghost team, likely due to the losses of [[spoiler: Captains Jennifer Burke and Nick Salvatore]] during the Mexico City revolt.
* OldSoldier: He's the oldest member of Mitchell's Ghost team, being at least a full decade older than the majority of the other members.



* DemotedToExtra: In ''Advanced Warfighter'', he's no longer a member of Mitchell's Ghost Team due to having been promoted to the leader of his own Ghost squad. He's mentioned a couple of times by General Martin and has about 2 lines of dialogue in the mission "Ready for Bear".

Bear". His character model in the cross-com communications window is noticeably much lower resolution than the more major characters.
* NewMeat: In ''Ghost Recon 2'' he's the youngest member of the Ghosts, though he's still had 3 years of service in the military at that point.




to:

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler: At the end of the final level, he taunts Mitchell from behind bulletproof glass before shooting himself in the head rather than let himself be captured or killed by the Ghosts.]]
* BigBad: Of the [=PS2=] version of ''Ghost Recon 2'', though he's actually only TheDragon to General Jung.
* EvilGloating: In the final level he taunts you over the base's loudspeakers after being informed an American special forces team has invaded the base.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Even after the North Koreans realize the war was caused by a FalseFlagOperation by a third-party [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC]], General Paik is still hell-bent on using the crisis as an excuse to start a nuclear war with the West.




* BigBad: Of the Xbox version.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the [=PS2=] version, before becoming the BigBad of the Xbox version, which takes place a couple of years later.



* TheStarscream: He overthrows the North Korean government and takes over between the events of the PS2 version and the Xbox version.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: He dies along with Joe Ramirez in the prologue mission of ''Future Soldier'']].




to:

* BigBad: Of the first ''Advanced Warfighter'' game.
* CompositeCharacter: In the console version of ''Advanced Warfighter'', General Ontiveros (the actual leader of the coup) and his son special forces Colonel Carlos Ontiveros are two separate characters. In the PC version, General Ontiveros is removed completely, and Carlos is promoted to General Carlos Ontiveros and serves as the sole leader of the coup.
* DisneyVillainDeath: In the console version of the game, you shoot him off the top floor of the U.S. Embassy, and watch him plunge to his death on your cross-com.
* EvilGloating: Towards the end of the game, he kills [[spoiler: Bud]] and steals his cross-com, spending the rest of the game taunting Mitchell over the Ghosts' comm systems.
* FrontlineGeneral: Carlos is by far the most active villain in the series, acting against the Ghosts throughout the game rather than simply engaging in politics offscreen and only being encountered just immediately before you kill him like all other ''Ghost Recon'' Big Bads.
* ItsPersonal: He's the only ''Ghost Recon'' villain that Mitchell ever develops a personal vendetta against, due to his killing of [[spoiler: Bud]] towards the end of the game. He's also the only ''Ghost Recon'' villain who ever refers to Mitchell by name or even knows who he even is.
