-> ''"Right. What the hell kind of name is Soap, eh? How'd a muppet like you pass selection?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Billy Murray
->'''Live Actor''': David Kinsman (''Operation Kingfish'')
The humorless, straightforward and unflappable leader of the SAS units in ''Modern Warfare'', and the central protagonist of the ''Modern Warfare'' series.
Previously Lieutenant Price, he was involved with the assassination attempt on Imran Zakhaev in Pripyat in 1996, alongside Captain [=MacMillan=]. Present day, he leads the primary investigation into the actions of [=OpFor=] and the Ultranationalists party, eventually leading to Zakhaev. He suffers severe injuries at the climax of the first game.
Between ''Modern Warfare'' and ''Modern Warfare 2'', he recovers and joins Task Force 141 around the same time as Soap. In Operation Kingfish in 2013, he was captured in an attempt to capture/kill Vladimir Makarov, and spends three years being tortured in a gulag.
Initially missing in ''Modern Warfare 2'' due to his capture, he was eventually rescued and rejoins Task Force 141. He spends the rest of the two games trying to track down Vladimir Makarov as he steps up his efforts to conquer the world.

* BadassBeard: From ''[=MW2=]'' onward.
* BadassFamily: If the Price from the earlier ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' games really was his family, then granddaddy Price was pretty awesome too (and possessed the same love of epic mustaches and unduly persistent headwear).
* BadassMustache: In ''[=MW1=]'', he sports the same famously awesome one as his ancestor did in the World War II games. He grows it into a BadassBeard by the time we catch up with him in ''[=MW2=]'', and keeps the beard for ''[=MW3=]''.
* BashBrothers: with Gaz and Soap, and just [[CrowningMomentofAwesome watch some of the stuff he does with the latter!]] Eventually forms one with Yuri, though nowhere as tightly. With Sandman as well.

* DynamicEntry: [[spoiler:Does this to Shepherd, just before the latter shoots Soap.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Definitely his reaction in "Loose Ends" when he is attacked by General Shepherd's forces. He tries to defy the trope, stating he never trusted the man in the first place, but his RoaringRampageOfRevenge during the final two levels of [=MW2=] tells a different story.]]

* HeWhoFightsMonsters:
** [[spoiler:In ''Modern Warfare 2'', 3 years in a gulag turned Price into a borderline psycho not much different from the bad guys. His first act upon release is ''hijacking a Russian nuclear submarine, launching a nuclear missile and detonating it above Washington DC to knock out Russian equipment'']].
** [[spoiler:Possibly subverted in ''Modern Warfare 3'', he is shown to be aware of the wider context and not just blindly charging after Makarov.

* SmokingIsCool: Price has a thing for cigars; according to Soap's journal, they're Villa Claras, and Soap takes a liking to them after the first game.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Notably, when the player controls him in ''Modern Warfare 3's'' final mission, he doesn't become a SilentProtagonist like Soap does. He remains the only character to be fully voiced under the player's control in the entire ''Modern Warfare'' trilogy.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: From the Captain Price in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty 1'' and ''2''. Popular {{Fanon}} makes him the original Price's son or grandson. WordOfDante[=/=]WordOfSaintPaul makes him officially Price's grandson.
** The devs had a rather sneaky reference to this near the end of ''Modern Warfare 2'', where it's made apparent in the cutscene before "Just Like Old Times" that Price still has the old ''[=CoD1=]'' dedicated pistol slot.
* TranquilFury:
** His speech before the final mission in ''Modern Warfare 2'' is dripping with this, where he keeps an even voice even while stating [[spoiler:his intention to get revenge on General Shephard.]]
** [[spoiler:Also does this again while on his RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Makarov, not raising his voice throughout the entire deal unless he has to and keeping his head almost completely, but you can tell he is ''[[UnstoppableRage furious]] ''over Soap's death at Makarov's hands.]]
* UnstoppableRage: Price didn't take [[spoiler:Soap's death]] well, to put it bluntly, and although he is [[TranquilFury completely focused and relatively composed]] in [[spoiler:"Dust to Dust", you can tell that he's not leaving the hotel until Makarov is in a body bag. It really shows when Price finally catches him and [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge beats him]] to a barely living paste first before lynching him.]]

->''"Break's over, Roach. Let's go."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KevinMcKidd (''Modern Warfare, 2, and 3''), Fraser Jardine (''Operation Kingfish'')
->'''Live Actor:''' Jon Morgan (''Operation Kingfish'')
One of the player characters from the first ''Modern Warfare'' and general protagonist of the ''Modern Warfare'' series.
At the start of the series, Sgt. [=MacTavish=] is a newly recruited SAS trooper under the command of Captain Price. After surviving the events of the first game, he is promoted to Captain and placed in command of Task Force 141, and becomes a key player in hunting down Vladimir Makarov.
----
* BashBrothers: With Price, tearing through many a terrorist, criminal, and mercenary together.
* BreakoutCharacter: To tell that he went from a HeroicMime to one who kills the BigBad [[spoiler:twice]], to a video game character [[spoiler:whose [[TearJerker death still remains widely mourned by worldwide gamers]]]], he is definitely among the most popular [=CoD=] characters.
* TheCaptain: In the second game.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:It took three games to do it, but in the ''Modern Warfare 3'' mission "Blood Brothers" Soap kicks the bucket. We all knew AnyoneCanDie was played straight in this series, but it's still a surprise when Soap dies. Needless to say, [[BerserkButton Price]] [[UnstoppableRage is]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge not amused]].]]
* ColdSniper: Sometimes.
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Fell down from an exploding building & dying from massive blood loss?? Doesn't stop him from gunning down any enemy that gets too close with his pistol]].
* DynamicEntry: Does this to Rojas in the favela.
* DentedIron: Despite taking an absurd amount of punishment in all three games, [[spoiler:the knife wound caused by Shepherd opens up again in ''3'' after he takes the blast of a bomb and he bleeds to death.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Soap may be an important character that the player plays a lot, but Price is ultimately the most important character to the central conflict of ''Modern Warfare''.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Unlike Price, who never trusted Shepherd, he definitely felt this way when the American General betrayed them.]]
* HeroicMime: In the first game [[spoiler:and the final three levels of the second game]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He could have made it out of the blast radius in time, but pushed Yuri out first. Made even better by the fact that he'd just learned Yuri might not be trustworthy.]]
* HiddenDepths: According to his journal, he actually took a course on the Cryllic alphabet, which is why Price had him enter the codes in the Russian nuclear silo.
* ImplacableMan: Soap can take a ridiculous amount of punishment and just keep on coming.
* {{Irony}}: He killed Zakhaev in a feint attack in the finale of MW. [[spoiler:Zakhaev's protege, Makarov [[NiceJobBreakingItHero builds the foundation of World War III in his name]], and also manages to kill Soap in an elaborate BatmanGambit and a feint attack.]]
* KnifeNut: Is noted to be very good with a knife.
* LodgedBladeRecycling: Does being stabbed in the chest with a knife the size of his forearm stop Soap from killing the bad guy? ''Hell'' no.
* MadeOfIron: He got shot a bajillion times, blown up by an oil tanker, [[spoiler:fell off a waterfall, stabbed in the chest, facestomped, ''pulled out said knife, and used it to shank the guy who put it in him'']].
* MyGreatestFailure: He considers [[spoiler:Gaz and Griggs']] deaths and [[spoiler:Price's apparent]] death to be these, according to his journal.
* PermaStubble: In ''2'' and ''3'' he sports a shaved beard.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:In ''Modern Warfare 2'''s ending, alongside Price against General Shepherd and the Shadow Company.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: Comes after his SilentProtagonist stint in the first game, but reverts back to it for unknown reasons when he returns to the player's control at the end of ''Modern Warfare 2.''
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Takes one between "F.N.G." and "Game Over!", then takes about 30 in the 5 year gap between the original and ''Modern Warfare 2''. From the first moments of your time as Roach he makes this obvious.
** In [=MW3=], the loading screen of "Stronghold" briefly shows a partial list of Soap's decorations. Among them is a ''Victoria Cross'' (pretty much the equivalent of the American military's Medal of Honor).
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Potentially verging on MyMasterRightOrWrong by the end of the second game. Needless to say, he will follow Price to the ends of the Earth and beyond.]]
* ViolentGlaswegian: Well, he's at least capable of being stealthy before violent, unlike what one would expect.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** Soap hates dogs (probably due to being repeatedly attacked by guard dogs in the first game), and mentions it during the ''Modern Warfare 2'' mission "Contingency."
-->'''Price:''' Five men, automatic rifles, frag grenades, one German Shepherd.\\
'''Soap:''' Dogs. I hate dogs.\\
'''Price:''' These Russian dogs are like pussycats compared to the ones in Pripyat.\\
'''Soap:''' It's good to have you back, old man.
** His journal goes into more detail. He ''really'' hates dogs.
-->"Consider me a cat man now. We overcame Ultranationalists, chopper crashes, danger close with gunships but a goddamn dog is what'll get me into an infirmary? Rabies, ridiculous.
** Another from his journal; a picture of a dog (addendum: problem), a dog with a muzzle (solution) and a dog with a broken neck (better solution).

->'''Voiced by:''' Craig Fairbrass
Captain Price's right hand man. Known for his sense of humour. His real name is never stated.
----
* BashBrothers: With Price/Soap at times.
* CatchPhrase: "Let's do this." This is most often heard when starting up multiplayer matches for the SAS. His [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute "successors"]] Ghost and Wallcroft retain this in later games for Task Force 141 and the SAS again, respectively.
* DeadpanSnarker: At times.
* DecompositeCharacter: Like Fairbrass' two other characters below, he's a GoodCounterpart {{Foil}} to his voice actor's role as [[TheBrute Delmar]] from ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'': both characters are distinguishable by their brown vests, and Gaz's black SAS attire in "Crew Expendable" resembles Delmar's black jumpsuit and masks (both balaclava and gas masks, though the latter was completely different from what Gaz wore) he briefly wore, while being OutOfFocus at the beginning of the film. In addition, in the same aforementioned level, Gaz carried a shotgun as a secondary weapon aside from his submachine gun, much like Delmar, and while his line "I like to keep this for close encounters" was meant to be a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' (which featured Creator/LanceHenriksen, who would later voice General Shepherd in the next game in the trilogy), it was also a liner ShoutOut to Delmar's death scene in ''Cliffhanger'' in which he's killed [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by his own shotgun]] by close encounter.
* NumberTwo: To Price in the first game.
* PinkMist: [[spoiler:It appears that Zakhaev performs a CoupDeGrace on his head from point blank with a Desert Eagle. In reality, the shot goes into his back; the angle just makes it look like a headshot.]]
* SirSwearsALot

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:He appears in 3 as the head of the entire SAS.]]
* BigGood: [[spoiler:By ''Modern Warfare 3''.]]
* BraveScot: His Scottish accent has its own following.
* TheBusCameBack: He makes his first appearance outside of a flashback in ''Modern Warfare 3''.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* TheFaceless: Due to wearing a ghillie suit in ''[=MW1=]'' and being a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection in ''[=MW3=]''.
* FourStarBadass: In ''Modern Warfare 3'', [=MacMillan=] is the head of the entire SAS. Every SAS head (formally titled Director Special Forces) since 2008 has held the rank of Major-General, so it can be assumed that [=MacMillan=] holds that rank as well.
* FriendlySniper: He is personally nice to you, aside from when you decide to be a cocky dumbass, then any {{Jerkass}} behavior from him is rather justified.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He never, ever misses. Not even after [[spoiler:his legs are broken by a falling helicopter gunship.]]
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Silly little things like having his feet/legs broken by a falling Mi-28 helicopter gunship won't stop him from providing fire support without ever missing a single shot.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite [[spoiler:Price being a wanted terrorist]], [=MacMillan=] is willing to listen to him and help, even supplying him with intel and equipment.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:Helps Price, even though he's a wanted terrorist. Considering their close relationship, though, it's likely he never believed his protege could turn evil.]]
* ShownTheirWork: Refers to Price as "Leftenant", which is what the rank is called in the UK military, as opposed to Lieutenant in other parts of the English speaking world.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In ''Modern Warfare 3'', he is now head of the ''entire SAS''.]]
* UnflinchingWalk: Subverted. After shooting down a helicopter, he walks away saying ''"Good night ye bastards..."''. [[spoiler:Then the helicopter crashes and very nearly crushes him.]]
* ViolentGlaswegian: Being a ColdSniper, he's arguably a much calmer variation of the trope.

An SAS commando who accompanies Wallcroft, Griffen and others in a mission to intercept a suspicious shipment near Canary Wharf in London in ''Modern Warfare 3'' in "Mind the Gap."
----
* TheFaceless: We never get a glimpse of his face, due to him wearing a gas mask, as well as the fact that the UAV camera at the start of his only mission never focuses on him up close.
* HeroicMime: He doesn't talk for the whole mission.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Is involved in a crash between two trucks and a tube train inside the London underground, while being on the ''outside'' of the truck (for comparison, the driver of said truck dies in the crash), but then gets up and carries on fighting after blacking out for several minutes. Also survives the chemical attack, unless the player opts to skip "Davis Family Vacation".]]

SAS operator in MW and [=MW3=]. He appears first in "Crew Expendable" as a guy assigned to rear guard, and reappears in 3 as PC Marcus Burns's commanding NCO.
----
* AscendedExtra: He appears in the first ''Modern Warfare'' in one level and has maybe 3 lines. He returns, having TookALevelInBadass and now voiced by Craig Fairbrass.
* DecompositeCharacter: Like Fairbrass' prior two characters Gaz and Ghost, he's a GoodCounterpart {{Foil}} to his [=MW3=] voice actor's role as Delmar from ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'', perhaps closer in terms of appearances as both characters wore black jumpsuits and masks (both balaclava and gas masks, though Delmar in film only wore them briefly and was OutOfFocus during the plane heist scene) and carried a fitted-stock [=MP5=] with attachments.
* TheFaceless: He's never seen without a balaclava and a pair of goggles or a gas mask.
* RuleOfThree: Third character to be voiced by Craig Fairbrass. [[spoiler:Subverted in that he's the only one ''not'' to die horribly.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Gaz and Ghost-- it comes with the territory when you're voiced by Craig Fairbrass in a ''Modern Warfare'' game. Gets kinda weird when you realize that he actually ''knew and worked with'' the man he's now a substitute of, though.

* WarriorPoet: His impossibly awesome intro to ''Just Like Old Times''.
* YouOweMe: Price uses it on a reluctant [=MacMillan=] in order to twist his arm into helping him in ''[=MW3=]''.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KevinMcKidd (''Modern Warfare, 2, and 3''), Fraser Jardine (''Operation Kingfish'')
->'''Live Actor:''' Jon Morgan (''Operation Kingfish'')
One of the player characters from the first ''Modern Warfare'' and general protagonist of the ''Modern Warfare'' series.
At the start of the series, Sgt. [=MacTavish=] is a newly recruited SAS trooper under the command of Captain Price. After surviving the events of the first game, he is promoted to Captain and placed in command of Task Force 141, and becomes a key player in hunting down Vladimir Makarov.
----
* BashBrothers: With Price, tearing through many a terrorist, criminal, and mercenary together.
* BreakoutCharacter: To tell that he went from a HeroicMime to one who kills the BigBad [[spoiler:twice]], to a video game character [[spoiler:whose [[TearJerker death still remains widely mourned by worldwide gamers]]]], he is definitely among the most popular [=CoD=] characters.
* TheCaptain: In the second game.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:It took three games to do it, but in the ''Modern Warfare 3'' mission "Blood Brothers" Soap kicks the bucket. We all knew AnyoneCanDie was played straight in this series, but it's still a surprise when Soap dies. Needless to say, [[BerserkButton Price]] [[UnstoppableRage is]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge not amused]].]]
* ColdSniper: Sometimes.
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Fell down from an exploding building & dying from massive blood loss?? Doesn't stop him from gunning down any enemy that gets too close with his pistol]].
* DynamicEntry: Does this to Rojas in the favela.
* DentedIron: Despite taking an absurd amount of punishment in all three games, [[spoiler:the knife wound caused by Shepherd opens up again in ''3'' after he takes the blast of a bomb and he bleeds to death.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Soap may be an important character that the player plays a lot, but Price is ultimately the most important character to the central conflict of ''Modern Warfare''.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Unlike Price, who never trusted Shepherd, he definitely felt this way when the American General betrayed them.]]
* HeroicMime: In the first game [[spoiler:and the final three levels of the second game]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He could have made it out of the blast radius in time, but pushed Yuri out first. Made even better by the fact that he'd just learned Yuri might not be trustworthy.]]
* HiddenDepths: According to his journal, he actually took a course on the Cryllic alphabet, which is why Price had him enter the codes in the Russian nuclear silo.
* ImplacableMan: Soap can take a ridiculous amount of punishment and just keep on coming.
* {{Irony}}: He killed Zakhaev in a feint attack in the finale of MW. [[spoiler:Zakhaev's protege, Makarov [[NiceJobBreakingItHero builds the foundation of World War III in his name]], and also manages to kill Soap in an elaborate BatmanGambit and a feint attack.]]
* KnifeNut: Is noted to be very good with a knife.
* LodgedBladeRecycling: Does being stabbed in the chest with a knife the size of his forearm stop Soap from killing the bad guy? ''Hell'' no.
* MadeOfIron: He got shot a bajillion times, blown up by an oil tanker, [[spoiler:fell off a waterfall, stabbed in the chest, facestomped, ''pulled out said knife, and used it to shank the guy who put it in him'']].
* MyGreatestFailure: He considers [[spoiler:Gaz and Griggs']] deaths and [[spoiler:Price's apparent]] death to be these, according to his journal.
* PermaStubble: In ''2'' and ''3'' he sports a shaved beard.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:In ''Modern Warfare 2'''s ending, alongside Price against General Shepherd and the Shadow Company.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: Comes after his SilentProtagonist stint in the first game, but reverts back to it for unknown reasons when he returns to the player's control at the end of ''Modern Warfare 2.''
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Takes one between "F.N.G." and "Game Over!", then takes about 30 in the 5 year gap between the original and ''Modern Warfare 2''. From the first moments of your time as Roach he makes this obvious.
** In [=MW3=], the loading screen of "Stronghold" briefly shows a partial list of Soap's decorations. Among them is a ''Victoria Cross'' (pretty much the equivalent of the American military's Medal of Honor).
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Potentially verging on MyMasterRightOrWrong by the end of the second game. Needless to say, he will follow Price to the ends of the Earth and beyond.]]
* ViolentGlaswegian: Well, he's at least capable of being stealthy before violent, unlike what one would expect.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** Soap hates dogs (probably due to being repeatedly attacked by guard dogs in the first game), and mentions it during the ''Modern Warfare 2'' mission "Contingency."
-->'''Price:''' Five men, automatic rifles, frag grenades, one German Shepherd.\\
'''Soap:''' Dogs. I hate dogs.\\
'''Price:''' These Russian dogs are like pussycats compared to the ones in Pripyat.\\
'''Soap:''' It's good to have you back, old man.
** His journal goes into more detail. He ''really'' hates dogs.
-->"Consider me a cat man now. We overcame Ultranationalists, chopper crashes, danger close with gunships but a goddamn dog is what'll get me into an infirmary? Rabies, ridiculous.
** Another from his journal; a picture of a dog (addendum: problem), a dog with a muzzle (solution) and a dog with a broken neck (better solution).
!! Gaz
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4afb999cb7d29e816a2aad9a2531624a.png]]
->''"Good news first: the world's in great shape. We've got a civil war in Russia, government loyalists against Ultranationalist rebels, and 15000 nukes at stake."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Craig Fairbrass
Captain Price's right hand man. Known for his sense of humour. His real name is never stated.
----
* BashBrothers: With Price/Soap at times.
* CatchPhrase: "Let's do this." This is most often heard when starting up multiplayer matches for the SAS. His [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute "successors"]] Ghost and Wallcroft retain this in later games for Task Force 141 and the SAS again, respectively.
* DeadpanSnarker: At times.
* DecompositeCharacter: Like Fairbrass' two other characters below, he's a GoodCounterpart {{Foil}} to his voice actor's role as [[TheBrute Delmar]] from ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'': both characters are distinguishable by their brown vests, and Gaz's black SAS attire in "Crew Expendable" resembles Delmar's black jumpsuit and masks (both balaclava and gas masks, though the latter was completely different from what Gaz wore) he briefly wore, while being OutOfFocus at the beginning of the film. In addition, in the same aforementioned level, Gaz carried a shotgun as a secondary weapon aside from his submachine gun, much like Delmar, and while his line "I like to keep this for close encounters" was meant to be a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' (which featured Creator/LanceHenriksen, who would later voice General Shepherd in the next game in the trilogy), it was also a liner ShoutOut to Delmar's death scene in ''Cliffhanger'' in which he's killed [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by his own shotgun]] by close encounter.
* NumberTwo: To Price in the first game.
* PinkMist: [[spoiler:It appears that Zakhaev performs a CoupDeGrace on his head from point blank with a Desert Eagle. In reality, the shot goes into his back; the angle just makes it look like a headshot.]]
* SirSwearsALot
* TheAce
* TheLancer
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: His hat has a UK flag on it, for a literal interpretation.
!! Captain [=MacMillan=]

->''"Follow me, and keep low."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Zach Hanks ([=MW1=]), Creator/TonyCurran ([=MW3=])
Price's former superior. He accompanied Price in the assassination attempt on Zakhaev in Pripyat, Ukraine in 1996.
As of ''Modern Warfare 3'', he becomes the commander of British special forces, callsign "Baseplate".
----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: [[spoiler:As mentioned above, he is head of the ''entire SAS'' in ''Modern Warfare 3''.]]
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:He appears in 3 as the head of the entire SAS.]]
* BigGood: [[spoiler:By ''Modern Warfare 3''.]]
* BraveScot: His Scottish accent has its own following.
* TheBusCameBack: He makes his first appearance outside of a flashback in ''Modern Warfare 3''.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* TheFaceless: Due to wearing a ghillie suit in ''[=MW1=]'' and being a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection in ''[=MW3=]''.
* FourStarBadass: In ''Modern Warfare 3'', [=MacMillan=] is the head of the entire SAS. Every SAS head (formally titled Director Special Forces) since 2008 has held the rank of Major-General, so it can be assumed that [=MacMillan=] holds that rank as well.
* FriendlySniper: He is personally nice to you, aside from when you decide to be a cocky dumbass, then any {{Jerkass}} behavior from him is rather justified.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He never, ever misses. Not even after [[spoiler:his legs are broken by a falling helicopter gunship.]]
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Silly little things like having his feet/legs broken by a falling Mi-28 helicopter gunship won't stop him from providing fire support without ever missing a single shot.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite [[spoiler:Price being a wanted terrorist]], [=MacMillan=] is willing to listen to him and help, even supplying him with intel and equipment.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:Helps Price, even though he's a wanted terrorist. Considering their close relationship, though, it's likely he never believed his protege could turn evil.]]
* ShownTheirWork: Refers to Price as "Leftenant", which is what the rank is called in the UK military, as opposed to Lieutenant in other parts of the English speaking world.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In ''Modern Warfare 3'', he is now head of the ''entire SAS''.]]
* UnflinchingWalk: Subverted. After shooting down a helicopter, he walks away saying ''"Good night ye bastards..."''. [[spoiler:Then the helicopter crashes and very nearly crushes him.]]
* ViolentGlaswegian: Being a ColdSniper, he's arguably a much calmer variation of the trope.
!! Sgt. Marcus Burns
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/burns_cropped.png]]
An SAS commando who accompanies Wallcroft, Griffen and others in a mission to intercept a suspicious shipment near Canary Wharf in London in ''Modern Warfare 3'' in "Mind the Gap."
----
* TheFaceless: We never get a glimpse of his face, due to him wearing a gas mask, as well as the fact that the UAV camera at the start of his only mission never focuses on him up close.
* HeroicMime: He doesn't talk for the whole mission.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Is involved in a crash between two trucks and a tube train inside the London underground, while being on the ''outside'' of the truck (for comparison, the driver of said truck dies in the crash), but then gets up and carries on fighting after blacking out for several minutes. Also survives the chemical attack, unless the player opts to skip "Davis Family Vacation".]]
* PlayerCharacter: For the one British mission of ''Modern Warfare 3''.
!! Sgt. Wallcroft
[[quoteright:312:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wallcroft_mind_the_gap_mw3.jpg ]]
->''"Come on mate! Let's give these bastards a proper British welcome!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Craig Fairbrass ([=MW3=])
SAS operator in MW and [=MW3=]. He appears first in "Crew Expendable" as a guy assigned to rear guard, and reappears in 3 as PC Marcus Burns's commanding NCO.
----
* AscendedExtra: He appears in the first ''Modern Warfare'' in one level and has maybe 3 lines. He returns, having TookALevelInBadass and now voiced by Craig Fairbrass.
* DecompositeCharacter: Like Fairbrass' prior two characters Gaz and Ghost, he's a GoodCounterpart {{Foil}} to his [=MW3=] voice actor's role as Delmar from ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'', perhaps closer in terms of appearances as both characters wore black jumpsuits and masks (both balaclava and gas masks, though Delmar in film only wore them briefly and was OutOfFocus during the plane heist scene) and carried a fitted-stock [=MP5=] with attachments.
* TheFaceless: He's never seen without a balaclava and a pair of goggles or a gas mask.
* RuleOfThree: Third character to be voiced by Craig Fairbrass. [[spoiler:Subverted in that he's the only one ''not'' to die horribly.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Gaz and Ghost-- it comes with the territory when you're voiced by Craig Fairbrass in a ''Modern Warfare'' game. Gets kinda weird when you realize that he actually ''knew and worked with'' the man he's now a substitute of, though.
