In Black Ops II, what is David Mason's codename?

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, David Mason’s codename is Section. By 2025, he is a DEVGRU lieutenant commander leading missions against Raul Menendez and the Cordis Die movement.

David is the son of Alex Mason, the protagonist of the first Black Ops. The sequel divides its campaign between Alex Mason’s Cold War-era missions in the 1980s and David’s missions in the near-future setting of 2025. That structure makes David both a continuation of the Mason family story and the player’s main link to the future conflict.

As Section, David works with Mike Harper and Javier Salazar under JSOC. His team tracks Menendez through operations involving Cordis Die, celerium, cyberwarfare, and the hijacking of American drones. The title is a military callsign rather than a description of David’s personality or a reference to a robot.

The alternatives belong to other Call of Duty characters or games. Prophet and Nomad are associated with the Crysis series, while Reaper is used for other characters and units across the franchise. Another common mix-up is calling David “Mason”; Mason is his surname, while Section is his operational codename.
