5	[[folder:Private Vasili Ivanovich Kozlov]]
6	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vik_1943.jpg]]
7	The PlayerCharacter of the Soviet campaign. A soldier in the 13th Guards Rifle Division who fights at Moscow and later Stalingrad.
8	----
9	* ColdSniper: Late in the Soviet campaign, he is tasked with taking out a German sniper, and later, several machine-gun nests, with a sniper rifle.
10	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's part of the 13th Guards Rifle Division, an elite infantry division in the Red Army that served with distinction during the Battle of Stalingrad.
11	* {{Expy}}: His sniping skills as well as his first name bring into mind Vasili Zaitsev, in particular his portrayal in ''Film/EnemyAtTheGates''.
12	* HeroicMime: As with most early ''Call of Duty'' protagonists, he never utters a single word.
13	* NewMeat: During "Red Army Training", where he and a handful of other new recruits are trained to handle weapons and then are thrown directly into combat.
14	* PlayerCharacter: For the Soviet campaign missions.
15	* TookALevelInBadass: When the game begins, he's a new recruit who hasn't even held a rifle yet. By the time of the Stalingrad missions, he's managed to survive the siege unscathed and has killed dozens if not hundreds of Germans in the defense of the city.
16	* WeaponSpecialization: His default starting weapons are usually Soviet rifles like the Mosin-Nagant and SVT-40. In close-quarter situations, he usually starts off instead with the [=PPSh-41=].

18
19	[[folder:Sergeant John Davis]]
20	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnd_1944.jpg]]
21	One of two player characters of the British campaign. An infantryman attached to the British 7th Armored Division during the North African and Normandy campaigns.
22	----
23	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Averted. He's one of two player characters that isn't a member of an elite unit, instead being a member of a regular British Armored Division.
24	* HeroicMime: As with most early ''Call of Duty'' protagonists, he never utters a single word.
25	* PlayerCharacter: For most of the British campaign missions.
26	* ShellShockedVeteran: Implied, his portraits become more and more haggard with each campaign.
27	* WeaponSpecialization: While he can freely pickup any British or German weapons during his respective missions, he almost always starts with the Lee-Enfield rifle and a submachine gun, either a lend-leased Thompson in the African campaigns or a Sten in Normandy.
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder:Tank Commander David Welsh]]
31	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dw_1943.jpg]]
32	One of two player characters of the British campaign. A commander of a British Crusader tank, callsign Fox Three, during the advance into Libya in January 1943.
33	----
34	* ADayInTheLimelight: You play as him for two of the 13 British campaign missions.
35	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Averted. Like Davis, he isn't from an elite unit at all, instead being a member of a rather ordinary Armored Division, except this time he's a tank commander.
36	* LeeroyJenkins: He and the other tanks of the 7th Armored are forced into this sort of tactic because the Crusaders' guns lack the range of the German Panzers to make a safer strategy viable; even the narration at the opening of the campaign notes that this is "a dangerous strategy which leaves much to be desired". [[CrazyEnoughToWork It works out well enough, though]].
37	* TankGoodness: He's the commander of a British Crusader tank, and he destroys several German artillery guns and tanks in the course of two missions.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Corporal Bill Taylor]]
41	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bt_1945.jpg]]

43	----
44	* ColdSniper: He's Dog Company's go-to guy for sniping, being tasked with doing it for 3 out of the 7 missions he appears in. And he does this job without uttering a single word.
45	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's a member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, one of the best-trained American units taking part in the European War.
46	* {{Expy}}: In terms of his appearance and role, he's very similar to [[Film/SavingPrivateRyan Pvt. Jackson]]. Specifically, he fulfills pretty much the same role in his squad as the former, being their team's ColdSniper and preferring the Springfield sniper rifle.
47	* HeroicMime: As with most early ''Call of Duty'' protagonists, he never utters a single word.
48	* PlayerCharacter: For the American campaign missions.
49	* {{Ranger}}: As part of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, he's this by default.
50	* WeaponSpecialization: While he's free to choose his weapons as a playable character, his most common default loadouts are the Thompson and the Springfield.

57	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Because real grenades are valuable. In fact, they are worth a lot more than you are!"'']]
58	A political commissar in the 13th Guards rifle Division. His task is training new recruits with handling Mosin-Nagant rifles, as well as directing these same recruits into the thick of the action.
59	----
60	* CommissarCap: He wears one to indicate his rank, which is fitting since he's a literal Commissar.

68	Commander of the forces stationed near Solnechnaya Street in Stalingrad, who briefly becomes Vasili's superior.
69	----
70	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Unlike Letlev, he leads from the front, and kills several German soldiers during his respective level.
71	* WeaponSpecialization: He prefers the [=PPSh=]-41 submachine-gun, which is appropriate for the many close-quarter fights in Stalingrad.
72	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears following his debut level, and is replaced by Lt. Volsky for the rest of the Soviet campaign.

119	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's a {{Ranger}}, so this is a given.
120	* UncertainDoom: He disappears in the midst of the chaos of the Pointe du Hoc landing. It's very likely that he was killed by an exploding mortar round not long after getting off the boat.
121	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Not mentioned again after "The Assault on Pointe Du Hoc". Given the death, destruction, and immediate chaos in the initial landings, it's very likely he was killed.
