"Makarov... knows... Yuri..."
— Soap's last words before his death in "Blood Brothers".
Captain John "Soap" MacTavish was the deuteragonist of the Modern Warfare franchise, and also appears in Call of Duty: Heroes, as well as Call of Duty Online. He is the main playable character in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as a sergeant and special forces soldier, serving as the 22nd S.A.S. Regiment's sniper and demolitions expert, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as a captain and the Field Commander of Task Force 141, along with Captain John Price with Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson and Lt. Simon "Ghost" Riley under his command.
He played an important role during the Ultranationalist crisis, being a newcomer to the British Special Air Service and part of Captain Price's Bravo Team. Players assume the role of Soap in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in addition to other characters. He is present as an NPC in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, except for the last three levels of the game, where the player once again plays as Soap. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, he is only playable in the first level and is an NPC for the remainder of the game. Later in the game, MacTavish is killed in action after being caught in an explosion with Yuri and falling from a high distance while trying to assassinate Vladimir Makarov, dying from massive blood loss.
Early life
Not much is known about Soap's early life except he was born Roman Catholic. He is from Scotland, which is evident by the Scottish flag seen on his dog tags, along with his Scottish accent.
Military career
Soap served with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment prior to joining the SAS, with at least one tour in Northern Ireland.
W.I.A. and Disavowed
"He's a hard bastard. Trust me, he'll make it." — Price during "Persona Non Grata" Shortly after his victory over General Shepherd, Soap's recent wounds had him slowly dying on the trip to Nikolai's safehouse in India. To make matters worse, a large group of Makarov's men assaulted the safehouse in an attempt to kill the remnants of Task Force 141. Soap's survival would not have happened had it not been for the actions of Price, Nikolai, and new found ally Yuri. After escaping from the ruined safehouse and fighting through the streets of Himachal Pradesh, they are evacuated by Nikolai in a chopper.
He also appears in Call of Duty: Heroes as a Hero unit, unlocked after completing the North Europe campaign.
Battle Aura: Increase Accuracy by 4%.
Killstreaks: Care Package, Mine Sweep Round, Barrier Breaker
Statue: 250 .
Soap appears in Call of Duty: Siege as a Unit card. He can be obtained from Supply Drops or from the store for Platinum.
Soap appears in Call of Duty: Mobile and was added as part of the Season 4 Disavowed Battle Pass.
Soap later appears in the Season 10 The Hunt Comics. He arrives late to Makarov's jungle base just as Mara had fended off Mace, who escaped into an underground bunker. They enter the bunker but are too late in stopping the launch of an EMP missile that was housed in it.
Disappointed with the recent mission failure, Ghost contemplates of how they gathered next to no intel about their enemies. Mace in disguise attacks a building with his team of mercenaries then goes to Alcatraz to meet with an underground criminal magnate named Hidora Kai. Mace and Hidora start to plan out their next moves, disabling all electronic devices in the world, including military radio towers, communication centers, Mara and Soap's convoy and even the plane Ghost and Tank were flying in, using the EMP launched earlier. Ghost and Tank manage to survive and meet the other operators at The Club.
When Ghost admits that the group has no way to fight the Five Knights, along with no way to locate them, Russell Adler appears and says that they do have ways to combat the new threat. After Ghost asks who he is, Price introduces Adler, and officially states the group is now a part of the United Anti-Terrorism Coalition, ending the introduction with "Ladies and gentlemen, we're going dark."
Adler and the rest of the team start to plan out their assault on Five Knights locations. When asked on how they would coordinate or even reach those locations, Adler presents the team with Swiss mechanical watches, which are unaffected by EMPs. Price also notes that Adler is not the only Cold War relic in operational state in the bunker, indicating an old helicopter. During all of this, a character named Templar is preparing himself, and he appears to have a personal grudge against the operators of the Coalition. Meanwhile, the Coalition begins striking 3 key sites of the Five Knights simultaneously; Price and Soap lead an assault team on the Communication Centre, Mara and her team storm in at the Command Center in Alcatraz, while Ghost and Tank strike a production facility in Hackney Yard.
When Price and Soap attempt to exfil, Templar appears and grabs Soap by the neck, noting he is "glad" to see Price again. 2 Navy Seals attempt to intervene, Templar fends them off. Soap and Price devise a plan to take him down, but it fails and Soap is gravely wounded by Templar's knife. He then enters a brief standoff with Price. Noting that Soap doesn't have long, Price is forced to save him rather than pursue Templar, who escapes in a Chopper.

It is also a humorous reference to his multiple encounters with dogs in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Finally, Soap's dislike of dogs appears all throughout his field journal, with comical illustrations to boot. This is also the quote on the Soap Legend Pack patch.
•Soap has a tattoo of a revolver on the back of his neck.
