History Characters / GhostRecon

* BaldOfEvil: Completely bald with a grey goatee.

%%* BaldOfAwesome

* BaldOfAwesome: Has a shaved head.

* BaldOfEvil: Makhmudov and Petrakov have this.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Apparently reported back after leave one time with his hair dyed a bright pink.

* 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 his last nuclear missile to make sure the Ghosts and[=/=]thousands of others go down with him.

-> Voice By: Creator/DavidCooley in ''Ghost Recon 2'', ''Advanced Warfighter'' and ''Advanced Warfighter 2''. Creator/SteveBlum in ''End War'', ''Future Soldier'' and ''Wildlands''.

* BadassBaritone: In the games in which he's the player character (''Ghost Recon 2'' and the two ''Advanced Warfighter'' games) he's got a fairly normal voice with a slight Southern[=/=]Midwestern drawl. However, in ''Future Soldier'' and ''Wildlands'' he's got a very deep, authoritative voice, courtesy of Steve Blum. It seems taking an EMP bomb to the face dropped his voice down a few octaves.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Dies in the prologue of ''Future Soldier'' alongside the rest of his team to a Raven's Rock bomb.]]

* 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]]).

* UncertainDoom: In ''Advanced Warfighter'', [[spoiler: the last you hear of her, her position has been overrun by the rebels and communications with her has been lost. She's never mentioned again after that point and it's left unclear whether or not she was K.I.A.]]

TheProtagonist of ''Ghost Recon 2'' and the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series. A career special forces soldier from a blue-collar background, he has served with the Ghosts in Georgia, Eritrea, and Cuba, and rose to the rank of Captain just in time to serve as the primary Ghost team leader during the two Korean conflicts of 2007 and 2011, as well as the Mexican uprising of 2013. By 2019, he's been promoted to Colonel and serves as the commanding officer of the Ghosts.

* VillanousBreakdown: In the penultimate level, Makhmudov attempts to rally his supporters on TV. He's relatively calm in the first broadcast, but is freaking out in the second as the Ghosts dismantle his army and the people of Moscow turn against the regime.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In the [=PS2=] version of ''Advanced Warfighter'', Carlos is a straight-up MadeOfIron FinalBoss who you fight in a boss arena in the basement of the U.S. embassy and who can take a few dozen bullets before dropping. This gives him the distinction of being by far the toughest enemy in the series, other than the Predator BonusBoss fight in ''Wildlands''. Downplayed in the PC version; Carlos is very dangerous due to his ideal camping position and the skill level of his A.I., but he realistically drops in a couple of shots just like any other human.

* PresidentAction: When rescued by Kozak and given a weapon, he's more than capable of fighting alongside the Ghost.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Of the President Target variety, as he gets captured by Carlos and Aguila 7 about halfway through the game. Turns into a mild case of PresidentAction when you rescue him, as he pulls out a pistol and will happily engage any Aguila 7 EliteMooks that get between you and the helicopter sent to extract him. He's not exactly the greatest combatant, but hey, points for effort.

* BossBanter: Carlos has a lot of unique dialogue taunting Captain Mitchell in the [=PS2=] version of the game, both when attacking you in an Apache attack chopper and later in the final boss fight in the basement of the U.S. embassy.

* ArtShiftedSequel: Because ''Wii'' is based on an earlier draft of ''Future Soldier'', the armor worn by Hibbard and Booth is much more futuristic and sci-fi compared to that worn by the Ghosts in the final version of ''Future Soldier''.

The protagonist of ''Ghost Recon 2'' and the ''Advanced Warfighter'' series. A career special forces soldier from a blue-collar background, he has served with the Ghosts in Georgia, Eritrea, and Cuba, and rose to the rank of Captain just in time to serve as the primary Ghost team leader during the two Korean conflicts of 2007 and 2011, as well as the Mexican uprising of 2013. By 2019, he's been promoted to Major and serves as the commanding officer of the Ghosts.

* TheLeader: He's a Captain and the Ghost alpha team leader in ''Ghost Recon 2'' and ''Advanced Warfighter'', and gets promoted to Major and commanding officer of the Ghosts in ''Future Soldier'' and ''Wildlands''.

* NonActionBigBad: Unlike Carlos Ontiveros, who was a special forces officer, De La Barrera seems to be a politician in a suit and never engages in combat himself. You fight a helicopter gunship duel against him about 3/4ths of the way through the game, but it seems like he's just a passenger in the gunship and highly unlikely that he's actually piloting it himself.

* ArcVillain: Of ''Shadow Wars'', ''Future Soldier'', and ''H.A.W.X. 2'', assuming the EvilChancellor in all 3 games is the same character.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''Shadow Wars''. Is most likely meant to be the same person as the BigBad of ''H.A.W.X. 2'' and ''Future Soldier''.
* SuddenNameChange: He seems to be meant to be the same person as Aleksandr Treskayev from ''VideoGame/{{HAWX}} 2'' and Sergey Makhmudov from ''Future Soldier''; all 3 have the exact same character model (down to his distinct green tie) and story-wise are the same character in every detail except name. The differences are likely due to miscommunication between the 3 studios making the 3 games as well as the two year delay in the development of ''Future Soldier'' due to its TroubledProduction.

* ArcVillain: President Makhmudov is this for ''Shadow Wars'', ''Future Soldier'', and ''H.A.W.X. 2'', assuming the EvilChancellor in all 3 games is meant to be him.

** If President Makhmudov is supposed to be the same person as Yuri Treskayev in ''Shadow Wars'' and Aleksandr Treskayev in ''H.A.W.X. 2'', then he and Raven's Rock is this to those two games.

* PresidentEvil: President Sergey Makhmudov, the new President of Russia after Raven's Rock take over the country. It's unclear whether he's the actual leader of Raven's Rock or if Petrakov and the other conspirators in the final level are TheManBehindTheMan. Though taking ''Future Soldier'', ''Shadow Wars'', and ''H.A.W.X. 2'' as a whole, then Makhmudov is indeed meant to be the BigBad.

* SuddenNameChange: President Makhmudov is apparently supposed to be the same person as Aleksandr Treskayev from ''VideoGame/{{HAWX}} 2'' and Yuri Treskayev from ''Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars''. All 3 have the exact same character model (down to his distinct green tie) and story-wise are the same character in every detail except name. The differences are likely due to miscommunication between the 3 studios making the 3 games as well as the two year delay in the development of ''Future Soldier'' due to its TroubledProduction.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Their support amongst the populace appears to be absolutely abysmal, and in the second-to-last level the civilian population of Moscow forms a mob and kicks them out of office (with a little help from the Ghosts who make sure Raven's Rock are unable to hold onto power by force). It's likely the Russian populace remember what an abysmal failure the last hardline ultranationalist government was from the original ''Ghost Recon''.
