Non-Playable Character

An NPC, or Non-Playable Character, is any character not controlled by the player. These characters are controlled by the computer and are scripted to do certain actions (e.g. die, talk, run) not controllable by the player. These actions are sometimes critical to the storyline.

NPCs have been featured in all Call of Duty games and are part of the building blocks that make up a game.
