2[[folder:In General]]
3* AdaptationalNationality: Some of the generic "Special Ops" soldiers are taken from ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'''s American factions, and yet have British or Russian accents in this game.
4* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: The game's timeline takes place in real time, but that doesn't stop certain characters from dressing up like ninjas, samurais, pirates, cowboys, what have you.
5* CastOfSnowflakes: Unlike most of the main games' grunts and the occasional standout villain, this game has all sorts of quirky characters, from operatives in gaudy get-up to ''vampires and zombies''.
6* CompositeCharacter: The [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare original]] and [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019 reboot]] continuity versions of the ''Modern Warfare'' cast tend to overlap in terms of customization and characterization.
7* CrossoverAlternateUniverse: Considering the nature of the ''Call of Duty'' series, specifically its covering of many different time periods, this was essential for creating a cohesive story.
8* EqualOpportunityEvil: So far we have British, American, and Russian heroes, against Russian, American, and Japanese villains.
9* FlatCharacter: In gameplay, unlike the main games, the Operators never have any unique dialogue or quips and just use the same stock phrases. They have much more characterization in cinematics and comics.
10* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Any Operator being able to use certain Specialist abilities can count. For example, Seraph is canonically able to wield the [[HandCannon Annihilator]] because of her specialized cybernetic arm; it would shatter a human one. Here, any Average Joe soldier can use it no problem.
11* IntercontinuityCrossover: All of the characters come from various ''Call of Duty'' series to team up.
12* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Yes, this game has all of those.
13* OriginalGeneration: Several characters are created specifically for this game, introduced with every year's new seasons of content.

16** 2022: Yuri (Season 1), Denise "Foxtrot" [=McDaniels=], Alexander "Cipher" [=McDaniels=] (Season 2), Trevor "Killgore" Dangle, Agent Miller, Kui Ji (Season 3), Denise "Rampage" Michaels (Season 5), Strongarm, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk (Season 7), The Director, Tempest, Samael (Season 8)

18** 2024: Long Yun (Season 2)

20[[/folder]]
21
22!!United Anti-Terrorism Coalition
23[[folder:Ghost]]
24!!Simon "Ghost" Riley
25-->'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Leach (2020-2022), Ron Bottitta (2022-)
26
27A member of Task Force 141 working in the Coalition to bring down the Five Knights.
28----
29* AdaptationalCurves: The skins based on his ''Modern Warfare (2019)'' appearance are noticeably more bulky than his original appearance.
30* CompositeCharacter: He's mostly based on his original ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' appearance, but as of Season 11, is now borrowing models and traits from his ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019'' appearance.
31* ExpyCoexistence: The [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts Ghosts]] unit was introduced as an American counterpart of Ghost as a BadassArmy as well as a way to implement Ghost's badassery in a new timeline. The end of the February 2021 season comic reveals that the Ghosts exist in the CODM timeline.
32* GuttedLikeAFish: How Templar kills him in their battle.
33* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:Ghost shoots Templar in front of his daughter after he just recovered the DSM and rescued his daughter. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything He then gives the DSM to Shepherd.]] Granted, Templar did stab him and leave him for dead in the past, but considering the amount of teamwork they’ve displayed in finding Stansfield, this could come as a dull surprise.]]
34* TheLancer: To Soap. As of Season 11, he's become one to Price.
35* MissionControl: He's typically the one guiding the player through tutorials.
36* SeriesMascot: He's the most prominently-featured character in advertising for the game, and has the most skins by far.
37* SparedByTheAdaptation: Not only that, when the comic debuts in May 2020 to promote the Wild West variant, he is the first character introduced to the CODM comic series. As of February 2021, he's apparently killed by Templar, and his body delivered to the Ghosts unit by Makarov for as of yet unknown circumstances.
38* WeUsedToBeFriends: He used to serve under the same unit as Mace sometime ago[[note]]prior to the events of ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019 Modern Warfare (2019)]]'' in-canon, but since this game is a huge mash-up of continuities (and Ghost is a CompositeCharacter of two incarnations of himself), it's unknown exactly when during the ''Mobile'' timeline[[/note]].
39[[/folder]]
40
41[[folder:Soap]]
42!!John “Soap” [=MacTavish=]
43
44An SAS commando who was recruited to both Task Force 141 and the Coalition.
45----
46* BashBrothers: With Price (naturally), as well as Mara and Alex.
47* SparedByTheAdaptation: Like Ghost, this version of Soap seemingly never went through the events of the original Modern Warfare trilogy, and is currently on friendly terms with both Price AND Shepherd.
48[[/folder]]
49
50[[folder:Price]]
51!!John Price
52-->'''Voiced by:''' Barry Sloane
53
54A seasoned leader in the ranks of Task Force 141. He used to serve in the Special Air Service with his right hand man Gaz and protégé Soap.
55----
56* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His original skin/model based on his original ''Modern Warfare'' appearance looked pretty derpy. His later skin taken from his YoungerAndHipper ''Modern Warfare (2019)'' counterpart is seen as a vast improvement.
57* TheLeader: He's the de-facto leader of Task Force 141 and is an important figurehead of the Coalition.
58* YoungerAndHipper: Naturally, his skins taken from his ''Modern Warfare (2019)'' counterpart are younger and more attractive-looking.
59[[/folder]]
60
61[[folder:Gaz]]
62!!"Gaz"/Kyle "Gaz" Garrick
63
64An SAS operative from MW2019 working in the Coalition under Price.
65----
66* TheLancer: To Price.
67* LateArrivalSpoiler: In ''Modern Warfare (2019)'', the fact that Kyle Garrick went by "Gaz" was meant to be a spoiler[[note]]Though you might figure it out early if you're familiar with UK nicknaming. This was also a LateArrivalSpoiler in its own game with Season 4[[/note]]. Here, he's flat-out stated to be Gaz and even uses his "Sabre" outfit (named "Broadsword" here) from the aforementioned game which has his sporting the iconic UK flag cap his original counterpart was known for.
68* RaceLift: His ''Modern Warfare (2019)'' counterpart is Afro-British instead of Caucasian-British.
69* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: The United Kingdom's flag, to be specific.
70[[/folder]]
71
72[[folder:Dempsey]]
73!!"Tank" Dempsey
74-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveBlum
75
76An American Marine who serves the Coalition along his zombie-killing friends Nikolai, Richtofen, and Takeo.
77----
78* BackFromTheDead: As of the premiere of Undead Siege, he's back to life and fighting alongside his comrades again.
79* BoomHeadshot: Courtesy of Mace.
80* DeathByAdaptation: See above.
81* MissionControl: Alongside Nikolai and Richtofen in Undead Siege.
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Alex]]
85!!Alex Keller
86-->'''Voiced by:''' Chad Michael Collins
87
88A CIA agent and former Delta Force operator from MW2019, Alex works for the Coalition to help bring down the Five Knights. Him and Soap are deployed to Japan to capture Hidora Kai.
89----
90* AnArmAndALeg: Gets his leg cut off by a D23 Sector at the beginning of Final Snow, maintaining the status quo set from Season 3 of Modern Warfare.
91[[/folder]]
92
93[[folder:Adler]]
94!!Russell Adler
95-->'''Voiced by:''' Bruce Thomas
96
97A deadly CIA agent known for his heavy involvement in the Cold War.
98----
99* AgeLift: As the timeline takes place in near future, he is quite old by the time we see him in Season 13 (he would be 84 years old in 2021). If you look closely at his "Mountain Drab" model (lifted directly from ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar Black Ops Cold War]]''), his hair has been tweaked to be grey to match the timeline and his comic appearance.
100* BigGood: He seems to be TheManBehindTheMan of Captain Price, and the players answer to him at the club during Season 11.
101* GoodScarsEvilScars: His face is scratched to hell, but he's a good guy, all things considered.
102* OldSoldier: He is 84 years old and can still kick as much ass as he did back in the Cold War.
103* SunglassesAtNight: He's never seen without those shades.
104[[/folder]]
105
106[[folder:Shepherd]]
107!!General Shepherd
108
109A United States general who leads the Coalition now, as opposed to Task Force 141.
110----
111* AdaptationalHeroism: In a well known twist, in his home game, Shepherd betrayed and destroyed Task Force 141. However, here, it seems as if he has yet to turn on the Coalition.
112* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Used it on both Menendez and Hidora Kai, to varying results.
113[[/folder]]
114
115[[folder:The Ghosts]]
116!!The Ghosts
117
118A group of soldiers aiding Makarov for unknown reasons and then later Adler.
119----
120* AdaptationalVillainy: Zigzagged. The Ghosts were the heroes of their game, but here they’re aiding Makarov as well as Adler. So it seems as if they’re mercenaries working for the highest bidder, instead of what remains of the US military elite forces in their game (not to mention the US military exist in CODM-verse, just fractured after the coordinated Four Horsemen attacks).
121[[/folder]]
122
123[[folder:Urban Tracker]]
124[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdd83e29d45b1a5317cc39bd90ac9cdf.jpg]]
125-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SuzieYeung
126
127A female soldier serving under the UAC. She is described as being able to "take what she wants and only leave footprints".
128----
129%%* Action Girl: Natch.
130* BreakoutCharacter: She wasn't the first female playable character in the game (that honor goes to Outrider), but she definitely left a good impression on the fanbase. She eventually became one of the game's mascots alongside series veterans like Ghost.
131* CatGirl: She wears face paint resembling whiskers, giving off this impression. Taken to a literal extent with her "Peacetime" skin, making her dress up like a tacticool anime catgirl.
132* InTheHood: Her "Exile" skin gives her a hooded jacket.
133%%* TheSneakyGal: She's described as such.
134[[/folder]]
135
136[[folder:Manta Ray]]
137!!Naomi "Manta Ray" Mizushima
138-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/StephanieSheh
139
140A new, gifted recruit in the field. True to her name, she has a fondness for the sea.
141----
142* ActionGirl: Kicks a lot of ass for a newbie.
143* CanonImmigrant: Originating from the now-defunct, China-exclusive ''Call of Duty Online''.
144* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: She's Japanese, but she speaks in unaccented American English.
145* OceanAwe: She loves the ocean, which is where she gets her callsign from. Taken to its logical extreme with the "Submerged Chaos" Draw, which is her in a diving suit with a bunch of sea-based cosmetics.
146[[/folder]]
147
148[[folder:Richtofen]]
149!!Edward Richtofen
150-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NolanNorth
151
152An eccentric German doctor who specializes in the studies (and slaying) of zombies and all sorts of creatures from the Aether.
153----
154* BadassBookworm: As he is also playable in Multiplayer and Battle Royale, he doesn't just slay zombies, but just about anyone who stands in his way.
155* CompositeCharacter: He takes the appearance and most of his personality from Primis Richtofen, but has brief moments of insanity that feel alarmingly similar to his Ultimis incarnation.
156* DeadpanSnarker: On-brand for him.
157* InsufferableGenius: He treats the Strike Team like they're just meatheads doing his bidding instead of capable soldiers.
158* {{Jerkass}}: True to form, Eddie is still a bit of a dick to his companions and soldiers alike.
159* MissionControl: For most of Zombies mode, including Undead Siege.
160[[/folder]]
161
162!!"The Five Knights"
163[[folder:In General]]
164* BigBadEnsemble: Much like the heroic side, the villainous faction is a large alliance of the franchise's {{Big Bad}}s. So far, this includes Vladimir Makarov, Mace, and Gabriel Rorke.
165* MythologyGag: The faction name seems to be based on "[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare The Four Horsemen]]" of which Vladimir Makarov was the first.
166[[/folder]]
167
168[[folder:Vladmir Makarov]]
169!!Vladimir Makarov
170
171A notorious Russian terrorist.
172----
173* AssholeVictim: Mace shooting him is probably the most heroic action he's taken over the course of the game's storyline, as it helps tie up a loose end for the heroes. Averted when it discovered that it was staged.
174* BoomHeadshot: How Mace kills him.. or so we thought.
175* EtTuBrute: He gets shot and his operation taken over by his right-hand man, Mace, midway through Season 10. Subverted as this was a farce they planned together.
176* MythologyGag: As a Russian attempting to create and weaponize Nova-6, he acts as an {{Expy}} to both [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps Nikita Dragovich and Lev Kravchenko]].
177* NotQuiteDead: As it turns out, he and Mace conspired to fake his death as their plans were compromised.
178* SparedByTheAdaptation: He appears to died differently compared to the first Modern Warfare timeline, but hasn't died for real yet.
179* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: In sharp contrast to his status as an InvincibleVillain back in his home series, all it takes for him to be defeated is a simple close-range gunshot. This is later subverted as it is revealed that his "death" was staged.
180* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: A rare receiving-end example. When their plans fall through, Mace shoots him and takes over command of the operation.
181[[/folder]]
182
183[[folder:Raul Menendez]]
184A former Nicaraguan drug kingpin who is the leader of Cordis Die as well as one of the Five Knights. Captured with the help of Mace in Season 2 (2021).
185[[/folder]]
186
187[[folder:Mace]]
188!!Callsign: "Mace"
189
190An Operator for the Jackals.
191----
192* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: As of Season 2 (2021), he works with the Coalition to capture the other 5 Knights, personally helping to capture Menendez. While he is restrained before and after entering the field, he doesn't attempt to escape or kill anyone in the Coalition, and even takes a bullet that was going to hit Mara with his armor.
193* BadassInANiceSuit: He dons his rather stylish "[[https://gamewith-en.akamaized.net/img/323c211ad003e9a289c13f88223acf3f.jpg Armorer]]" outfit as of Season 11.
194* BigBad: Of Season 10, usurping many villains. Once he's captured by Ghost and revealed to be one of the Five Knights however, he is begrudgingly forced to work with the Coalition.
195* TheDragon: To Makarov in Season 10 until his [[TheStarscream hostile takeover]].
196* {{Foil}}: To Ghost.
197** Most obviously, Ghost is fighting for the greater good while Mace is doing what he does ForTheEvulz.
198** Ghost is a British soldier fighting for Task Force 141 and the Coalition while Mace is an American soldier fighting for the Allegiance, the Jackals, and most of all, himself.
199* HeroKiller: He has the honor of killing Tank Dempsey.
200* ScaryBlackMan: He is an absolute tank, and extremely efficient at his job.
201* TheStarscream: He usurps Makarov after their short-lived partnership in Season 10. Subverted once it's revealed to be staged by the both of them.
202* WeUsedToBeFriends: He used to serve under the same unit as Ghost sometime ago[[note]]prior to the events of ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019 Modern Warfare (2019)]]'' in-canon, but since this game is a huge mash-up of continuities, it's unknown exactly when during the ''Mobile'' timeline[[/note]].
203* WesternTerrorists
204[[/folder]]
205
206[[folder:Hidora Kai]]
207!!Hidora Kai
208
209A mysterious Japanese samurai who conspires with Mace.
210----
211* OddFriendship: A villainous example. Kai is a ''samurai'' while Mace is an American soldier.
212[[/folder]]
213
214[[folder:Gabriel Rorke]]
215!!Gabriel Rorke
216
217A former leader of the Ghosts working with Templar.
218----
219* FaceHeelTurn: Just like in his home game, Rorke was one of the Ghosts, but now he seeks to kill them all.
220* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: In his home game, he was an InvincibleVillain who managed to win due to PlotArmor. However, this time he doesn’t seem to be nearly as unkillable.
