A Non-Playable Character, or NPC, 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 usually controllable by the player, except in certain instances and games to a degree. These actions are sometimes critical to the storyline.
NPC's have been featured in all Call of Duty games and are part of the building blocks that make up a game.
