Captain Elias T. Walker, call sign Scarecrow (1976 - 28/6/2027), is the tritagonist of Infinity Ward's 2013 video game Call of Duty: Ghosts.
He is a founding member turned leader of the de-facto U.S. elite special operations unit called Task Force STALKER, that became better known as the Ghosts. He became the head of the Fort Santa Monica base after the ODIN disaster that decimated the Southwestern United States, but would induct his sons David and Logan Walker into the Ghosts to fight against Rorke.
He is voiced by Stephen Lang, who also played Norman Nordstrom in the Don't Breathe films and Waldo in Into the Badlands.
Biography[]
Pre-Events[]
Elias joined the United States Army at a young age, joining the 1st Calvary Division, and would meet Gabriel Rorke, Thomas Merrick, Keegan Russ, and Alex Johnson. Elias would marry, and bore two sons, David and Logan Walker, and lived with them in San Diego, California. In 2005, the group would participate in Operation: Sand Viper, a mission to save hospital patients during the Tel Aviv War. Elias and his unit became well known for beating all odds, and left one of their enemies alive, who referred to them as "Ghosts". Elias founded Task Force Stalker, but allowed Rorke to be in command, and Merrick, Russ, and Johnson all joined.
Eventually, Elias' wife would pass, leaving him to raise his sons without a mother. He would train them in the woods, and taught how to hunt, teaching them military tactics.
Stopping Almagro[]
In 2015, Rorke convinced the United States president to let the Ghosts do a surprise attack on the Federation, and assassinate their leader General Diego Almagro. Walker, Rorke, Merrick, and Johnson were sent to Caracas, Venezuela, and succeeded in assassinating Almagro. Despite the success, the plane they were in crashed, and Walker attempted to hold onto Rorke. Walker had to make on the hardest decisions of his life, and let Rorke go, saving Merrick and Johnson. Unbeknownst of the group, Rorke survived the fall into the water, and was captured, tortured, and brainwashed by the Federation to join their ranks (using Elias' "betrayal" to motivate him into becoming a member).
The ODIN disaster of 2017[]
After telling the story of Ghosts' origin to his sons: David and Logan, tremors started happening. At first, Elias and the Walker brothers believe it to be a typical San Andreas fault movement, that is until Elias started noticing massive explosions coming from under the Earth's surface causing massive craters. Elias realized that it was ODIN turning against them (thanks to the Federation), and is firing tungsten rods from orbit at all of the U.S. land. After telling his sons to get back home, Elias went to check on what's going on. After a tanker truck exploded, he and David carry an injured Logan to safety, and left in their vehicle.
2027: War Against the Federation of the Americas[]
Elias was the commanding officer of the Ghosts team, which included his sons, David and Logan, and old friends Thomas A. Merrick, Keegan P. Russ, and Alex V. "Ajax" Johnson. He overlooked many of Ghosts' missions in 2028, including an stealth mission of "No Man's Land", the failed rescue attempt of Ajax, the defense of Fort Santa Monica, "Federation Day", and the capture of former Ghost: Gabriel T. Rorke.
Death[]
While on a mission in Las Vegas, Elias and his sons were captured by Rorke after the latter escapes from captivity of his prior squad. When he was told to undermine Keegan's arrival, Elias refuses and is roughed up by Rorke. While Logan was trying to kill Rorke, Elias was accidentally shot by his youngest son and Logan was thrown to the floor. Before being shot and killed, Elias reassured Logan and implies that he's proud of his sons.
Legacy[]
Logan and David decided to get revenge on Rorke, going as far to attack him on his train in "Ghost Killer". In addition, Logan received his mask, given to him by Merrick, who had become the commanding officer of the Ghosts. Logan and David failed to get their revenge, as Rorke survived their attempt to kill him, but managed to cripple the Federation. Despite this, Rorke kidnapped Logan so he could torture him.
