He appears in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a Sergeant, serving as the team's sniper and demolitions expert, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as a Captain and field commander of Task Force 141. He plays a major and important role during the Ultranationalist crisis, a newcomer to the British SAS</a> and part of Captain Price's</a> Bravo Team</a>. Players assume the role of Soap in Modern Warfare as well as others. He is present as an NPC in Modern Warfare 2, except the last three levels of the game, where the player retakes his role. <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Biography <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-filler="true"> S.A.S.

Initially, Soap started out as a Sergeant, unusual in that newcomers to the SAS are usually demoted to Trooper (However, they still retain their rank and the level of pay they previously received. The rank of trooper is only given to show that all the new recruits are equal), fresh out of Selection.

He is referred to as, "the F.N.G." by Gaz. F.N.G stands for "Fucking New Guy." After passing the C.Q.B. test (Close Quarters Battle, intended to be reminiscent of the real SAS</a> "Killing Houses"), Soap is briefed on the mission to infiltrate and assault a cargo ship in the Bering Strait</a>. On board the ship, they discover a nuclear bomb bound for Russia, though enemy MiGs interrupt their investigations, and Soap barely escapes with his life. In the process of escaping the doomed vessel, Soap was forced to leap for the ramp of the team's helicopter, just as it was beginning to fly away. However, he lost his grip, and mere seconds before he was bound to fall off the vehicle, was rescued by Captain Price. <h4 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Rescue of Code Name: Nikolai <p data-rte-fromparser="true">Upon completing the mission, Soap, Price and Gaz</a> travel to the Caucasus Mountains in Russia to extract the informant who supplied them with the intelligence for the cargo ship, a man codenamed "Nikolai</a>".

Surrounded by militia, the task force fights its way to a market, where Nikolai was supposed to pick them up in a helicopter. However, due to the fire from the militia he is forced to the secondary extraction point. During the escape, Roach is nearly left behind when he falls off a rooftop. However, he makes his way back to the top, militia in tow, and makes it aboard the helicopter. <h4 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Counterstrike in Russia <p data-rte-fromparser="true"><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22image%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFile%3AMw2%20soap%20runninggulag.PNG%7Cthumb%7C200px%7CMacTavish%20leading%20the%20assault%20to%20rescue%20%5B%5BJohn%20Price%7CPrisoner%20627%5D%5D%20in%20%5B%5BThe%20Gulag%5D%5D.%5D%5D%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Mw2_soap_runninggulag.PNG%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22thumbnail%22%3Atrue%2C%22caption%22%3A%22Prisoner%20627%5D%5D%20in%20%5B%5BThe%20Gulag%5D%5D.%22%2C%22width%22%3A200%2C%22captionParsed%22%3A%22MacTavish%20leading%20the%20assault%20to%20rescue%20%3Ca%20_rte_dataidx%3D%5C%220088%5C%22%20href%3D%5C%22%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FJohn_Price%5C%22%20title%3D%5C%22John%20Price%5C%22%3EPrisoner%20627%3C%5C%2Fa%3E%20in%20%3Ca%20_rte_dataidx%3D%5C%220089%5C%22%20href%3D%5C%22%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FThe_Gulag%5C%22%20title%3D%5C%22The%20Gulag%5C%22%3EThe%20Gulag%3C%5C%2Fa%3E.%22%7D%7D" data-rte-instance="3125-18589628904e2a43e81da37" alt="" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091202041931/callofduty/images/thumb/9/97/Mw2_soap_runninggulag.PNG/200px-Mw2_soap_runninggulag.PNG" width="200" height="266" class="image thumb withCaption" type="image" /> Shortly after being extracted from South America, the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Navy%20SEALs%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Navy%20SEALs%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BNavy%20SEALs%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3125-18589628904e2a43e81da37" href="/wiki/Navy_SEALs" title="Navy SEALs" class="mw-redirect">Navy SEALs</a> and <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Task%20Force%20141%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Task%20Force%20141%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BTask%20Force%20141%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3125-18589628904e2a43e81da37" href="/wiki/Task_Force_141" title="Task Force 141">Task Force 141</a> initiated a two-stage operation.
