Characters[edit]
Staff Sergeant John Kozak[edit]
A new recruit to the Group for Specialized Tactics, Kozak is anything but a rookie. A first-generation American born of Russian parents, he was just a kid in New York City when terror struck home. The events of 9/11 affected him deeply, and were a major reason for his joining the military. Kozak feels serving his nation is his highest calling. He's the biggest gear-head on the team, and is quick to suggest a tech-driven solution to almost any battlefield problem.
The player takes control of Kozak in the single player campaign. The first player plays as Kozak in the co-op campaign. In the mission Gallant Thief, all four players play as Kozak in the co-op campaign.
Captain Cedric Ferguson "Ghost Lead"[edit]
The kind of leader every team wants, Ferguson keeps a clear head even in the midst of chaos. Born into a military family and groomed for duty, he is decisive, executes plans with precision, and has a long record of doing the right thing at just the right time. He knows when to push and when to pull back, and he knows he doesn't have all the answers. He trusts his men, he trusts his gut, and the two are rarely in conflict. Ferguson ultimately commands the respect of all those around him, wheter friend or foe.
The second player plays as Ghost Lead in the co-op campaign in all missions but Gallant Thief.
Master Sergeant Robert Bonifacio "Pepper"[edit]
Pepper's been there, put holes in that. Whatever just happened, he's seen it before and the other time was worse. He isn't the oldest on the team, but he's still the Old Man, and everyone treats him with the appropriate respect. A deadly sniper, he's got the hallmark steady nature and cool nerves one would expect, and is a man of few words -- unless he's pointing out problems with a plan or just giving 30K a hard time. Without a doubt, if there's anyone you want watching your back, it's Pepper.
Except for the mission Gallant Thief, the third player takes control of Pepper in the co-op campaign.
Sergeant 1st Class James Grant Ellison "30K"[edit]
An up-front-and-in-your-face guy, 30K's number one interest is getting done whatever it is that needs doing. He's the rowdy best friend you don't want choosing the bar, but the one you can count on in the bar fight. He offers his opinion fearlessly, regardless of rank or etiquette, and if the top brass has a bad idea, he's the first to say it. 30K's aggressive, but never reckless, and his willingness to go toe-to-toe with the enemy has gotten the team out of enough tough spots that they forgive him the few he got them into.
The fourth player will take control of 30K in the co-op campaign in all missions except Gallant Thief.
