Paul Jackson

Sergeant Paul Jackson was a special-forces operator of the United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance, 1st Force Recon, and was the deuteragonist of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Biography
Jackson and other Marines are sent to an unknown location in the Middle East where Khaled Al-Asad has taken over. In the search for Al-Asad they search two buildings; the first a normal house and the second a TV station, in which a heavy fight occurs. Both buildings show no sign of Al-Asad however.

After receiving word that the main battle tank, "War Pig", has become isolated, Jackson and his platoon are given orders to rescue it and get it running again. The platoon proceeds to save the tank and move it through the occupied city.

He then fights through the mission Shock and Awe to rescue a team of Marines pinned down in a building and gets them to the helicopter. Moments later, he rescued the pilot of a Cobra helicopter crash only for his own helicopter to be caught in a nuclear detonation shortly after. Paul Jackson initially survives the nuclear explosion, but eventually succumbs to injuries sustained in the crash or the effects of the blast (although radiation takes time to have any effect, a nuclear explosion generates enormous heat, shockwaves and other potentially lethal forces) as he struggles to crawl out of his helicopter.
