History Characters / CallOfDutyGhosts

* HeroicMime: He never says a word when you play as him in "Legends Never Die", which is very jarring considering how many lines he has in the rest of the game.

* HeroicMime: During his one playable level.

* WorthyOpponent: Is impressed with Logan, and clearly wants to capture and brainwash him into his ally. [[spoiler:He finally succeeds in the final mission.]]

%%* GutturalGrowler

* InformedAbility / InformedAttribute: They're supposed to be so unbelievably and unseeably skilled in elite espionage and guerilla warfare, but they're no quieter than typical RatedMForManly action heroes, aside from a few unimpressive stealth missions that any special forces group could pull off.

* Determinator: Rorke's single-minded obsession with killing General Almagro is the reason why he got captured by the Federation. After being turned by them he displays the same obsessiveness when it comes to hunting down the Ghosts.

* BadassGrandpa: He's one of the oldest soldiers in ''Ghosts'', on top of being the Walker brothers' father.

* 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''.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Knowing that there's a good chance he and Logan [[spoiler:won't be able to beat Rorke,]] Hesh arranges for the Ghosts to [[spoiler:drop a kinetic strike missile on top of all of them if they lose against him. It doesn't work.]]

* DecapitatedArmy: ''Inverted''. After their commander, Diego Almagro, is assassinated in 2015, they get ''even more powerful and unstoppable''.

* FinalSolution: They ''do not'' like the United States, needless to say. In 2015, they tried a traditional Holocaust against all US-born individuals they could get their hands on. After that didn't work? They ''hijacked the US's KillSat and bombed the US with it, killing 27 million people'' and permanently crippling their military, economy, and society.

* TheDeterminator: Rourke's single-minded obsession with killing General Almagro is the reason why he got captured by the Federation. After being turned by them he displays the same obsessiveness when it comes to hunting down the Ghosts.

* InvincibleVillain: [[spoiler:Even more so than Makarov from the ''Modern Warfare'' games, Rourke is always two steps ahead of the heroes and he always escapes situations where his death seems certain. At the end of the game he even survives a train wreck, ''getting shot by a [[HandCannon .44 magnum revolver]]'', and sinking into the ocean, and he's ''still'' healthy enough to subdue Logan and drag him off as a prisoner.]]

* OneManArmy: Imagine if [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} John Rambo]] turned to the dark side and you've got a pretty good description of Rourke.

[[folder:The Boss]]


->''"One-hundred soldiers for one more Ghost."''

The President of Venezuela and leader of the Federation who took over General Almagros position after his assassination.And seems to be leading his forces from behind the scenes.

* BadBoss: Dosen't mind getting rid of soldiers who don't seem useful anymore.As in when he ordered Rorke to get rid of Victor Ramos TheDragon because he became expendable.
* ColdBloodedTorture:When General Almagro died.He took his position and the first thing he ordered was for Rorke to get captured and tortured until he served there cause.
* TheDreaded it was revealed by Rorke that he has no problem getting rid of soldiers so he can capture another Ghost.

* ManBehindTheMan: It's revealed that in the files that Rorke the BigBad is actually taking orders from him.And everything he's done is on his behalf from behind the scenes.
* PresidentEvil:If Venezuela is the leading South American Government in the Federation alliance,then it should come as no surprise that the leader of the entire Federation is the President of Venezuela.
* TheGhost: He's only mentioned a few times in the collectible intel items, But is never seen or referred to by name.

[[folder:Sergeant Logan Walker]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/logan_2.jpg]]The main protagonist and player character of almost every single level.

%%* TheAce
* {{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.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He's so good at predicting what the Ghosts are going to do and luring them into traps that he's been accused of being a VillainSue by some fans.

At the end of the game he even survives a train wreck, ''getting shot by a [[HandCannon .44 magnum revolver]]'', and sinking into the ocean, and he's ''still'' healthy enough to subdue Logan and drag him off as a prisoner.]]

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: He survives the game and pretty much gets away with all of his crimes.]]
