Who is the playable protagonist of Call of Duty: Ghosts?

Logan Walker is the playable protagonist of Call of Duty: Ghosts. The 2013 campaign follows Logan as he joins the elite Ghosts unit and fights the Federation after a devastating attack reshapes the world’s power balance.

Logan is the younger son of Elias Walker, the commander of the Ghosts, and the brother of Hesh Walker. Much of the story is presented through Logan’s perspective, although he is not the only character players control. The campaign also includes missions featuring Hesh, Elias, an astronaut named Baker, and Riley, the Ghosts’ German Shepherd.

That wider cast causes a common mix-up. Elias is Logan’s father and a central leader, but he is not the campaign’s main playable protagonist. Frank Woods, David Mason, and Alex Mason belong primarily to the Black Ops storyline. Logan’s fate is also left uncertain at the end of Ghosts, creating a cliffhanger that was never resolved in a direct sequel.
