A list of characters from the video game ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts''

!!Sergeant Logan Walker

* BashBrothers: With Hesh.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Fairly standard for an Infinity Ward ''CallOfDuty'' main character.
* HollywoodHealing: [[spoiler: Towards the end of the game, he's shot by Rorke during an extended torture sequence. Once he manages to escape, he's somehow back in full fighting condition.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Joins the military and eventually becomes a Ghost, just like his brother and father.
* SilentProtagonist

!!Sergeant David Walker ("Hesh")

-->''"Dad taught us many things, but one lesson always stood out... Good men are defined by the choices they make."''

* TheBeastmaster: Is Riley's K9 handler, and uses him in combat and for infiltration.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: He's the narrator of the game, even though Logan is the actual main character. Largely because Logan never speaks.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Joins the military and eventually becomes a Ghost, just like his brother and father.
* NamesTheSame: Has the same first name as the protagonist of ''BlackOps2''.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Knowing that there's a good chance he and Logan won't be able to beat Rorke, Hesh arranges for the Ghosts to drop a kinetic strike missile on top of all of them if they lose against him.]]

!!Captain Elias Walker

-->''"A man who truly loves his country doesn't just give his life... he gives his sons."''

* BadassBaritone: His voice sounds quite a bit like [[SplinterCell Sam Fisher]]'s.
* BadassGrandpa
* [[spoiler: MentorOccupationalHazard]]
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The fact that Elias is [[spoiler: actually the leader of the Ghosts]] is pretty clearly implicated by the trailers for the game.
* YouAreInChargeNow: [[spoiler: Became the leader of the Ghosts after Rorke was presumed [=KIA=] in Venezuela.]]

!!Riley

* FanNickname: "Mocap Dog"
** MemeticMutation
* HeroicDog[=/=]NonHumanSidekick
* MythologyGag: Named after Simon "Ghost" Riley from ''ModernWarfare 2''.

!!Rorke

-->''"To us, Rorke was a legend. The man could walk through hell and not get burned. Ghosts were the best of the best. But Rorke was the reason we were feared."''

* TheAce
** TheParagonAlwaysRebels
* {{Badass}}: By far the best fighter out of all the series' villains. He might not have the raw power of Raul Menendez, but his special forces training makes him an extremely dangerous combatant who effectively counters your quicktime event attacks on multiple occasions. [[spoiler: He's also the only ''Call of Duty'' villain to survive a fight against a [=COD=] protagonist.]]
* BigBad
** TheHeavy
* BloodKnight: Elias indicates Rorke was something of a fanatic even before his FaceHeelTurn.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Was "turned" by the Federation to their cause through exotic Amazonian torture techniques. Although, it seems his primary motive for changing sides was to seek vengeance against Elias Walker for letting go of him and leaving him to die at the end of their last mission.]]
** TortureMakesYouEvil
* BrokenPedestal: It's clear Elias used to look up to him. Now he's just another terrorist bastard as far as Elias is concerned.
* TheDreaded: His article quote neatly sums it up. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, when Hesh and Logan go to face them, they actually make plans to have the Ghosts blow up the train they're on, because they know there's a good chance ''they're going to lose against him''.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil
* HeroKiller: He's known as "the Ghost Killer" for a reason.
* [[spoiler: NotQuiteDead]]
** [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins: The Ghosts thwart his plan to take over America, but he survives his confrontation with Logan and Hesh, and even manages to capture Logan in hopes of turning him into another Manchurian Candidate agent like him.]]
* RogueAgent
* [[spoiler: YouKilledMyFather: Kills Elias towards the end of the game, causing the Walker brothers to seek vengeance against him.]]
