History

Campaign

Only appearing in Call of Duty Ghosts, Logan acts as a younger brother to David "Hesh" Walker (Brandon Routh). They are sons of retired U.S. Army Captain Elias Walker (Stephen Lang). They are part of the Ghosts, a force of U.S. Special Operations personnel trained to conduct clandestine missions behind enemy lines. Elias is telling Logan and Hesh the legend of how the Ghosts were first formed. While that, in space, the Federation hijacks the Orbital Defense Initiative (ODIN), an orbital superweapon that consists of a network of satellites that utilize kinetic bombardment. The Federation uses it to destroy several cities in the southwestern United States. U.S. Air Force astronauts Baker and Mosley sacrifice themselves to self-destruct the space station and prevent ODIN from launching other payloads further inland. The Walkers narrowly escapes the destruction of San Diego.

Ten years later, the Federation has expanded even further by invading and occupying Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico. Along with this, the war between the United States and the Federation has been a bloody stalemate along a front that comprises the destroyed cities (known as "No Man's Land"), which has become a war of attrition as more Federation forces attempt to break the frontlines. However, the U.S. stands its ground, fighting near the former United States-Mexico border. In that, Logan and Hesh have become part of the Army special unit under the command of Elias, who had to return to the army amid the war, and are accompanied by Riley, their loyal military-trained German Shepherd. During a mission into No Man's Land, they spot Federation agent Gabriel Rorke interrogating Ghost member Ajax. The brothers meet and join Ghost members Thomas Merrick and Keegan Russ in an attempt to rescue Ajax, but he is killed.

After The brothers return to Santa Monica, California, where U.S. forces hold out against a Federation assault and reunite with their father, who reveals himself as the leader of the Ghosts. Recruiting his sons into the Ghosts, Elias tells them during the Federation's expansion into South America in 2015, the Venezuelan Armed Forces formal leader, General Diego Almagro, ordered all American-born citizens in Federation territory to be imprisoned or executed. Because of this, Rorke, formally the leader of the Ghosts, convinced the U.S. government to send him and Elias on a military operation in the Federation's capital of Caracas to assassinate the general. Despite being successful in killing Almagro, Elias was forced to abandon Rorke to save himself and his other squad mates. The Federation soon captured Rorke and brainwashed him into becoming a Federation commander.

The Ghosts assault Rorke's base and capture him, but Federation forces destroy their plane and rescue him. The team lands in the Yucatán Peninsula, where they witness the launch of a mysterious Federation missile. The Ghosts infiltrate a Federation base in Andes and discover plans to create a new superweapon. Constructing a counterattack, the Ghosts make significant gains against the Federation by destroying their Atlas oil platform in Antarctica and sinking a destroyer guarding a Federation factory in the port of Rio de Janeiro. The team then breaks into the factory and discovers that the Federation reverse-engineered ODIN into their own orbital bombardment system named LOKI.

After destroying the factory, the Ghosts regroup at a safe house in Las Vegas, but are captured by Rorke, who executes Elias before the Ghosts escape from Federation forces. In a last-ditch effort, the U.S. Navy pools all its remaining forces, including its last aircraft carrier USS Liberator, in a synchronized all-out assault against the LOKI space station. Hesh and Logan launch a missile to destroy the Federation space center in the Atacama Desert, while forces in U.S. Space Force take over the Federation space station. They seize control of LOKI and decimate the Federation military by turning their weapons on them. Hesh and Logan then disobey Merrick's orders and pursue Rorke to avenge their father. Despite being shot by Logan and left to drown, Rorke survives and drags Logan away, wanting to brainwash him into becoming a Federation agent.

In the post credits scene, Logan is seen captured in a pit in a jungle, presumably going through the same torture methods as Rorke. The game ends on an inconclusive cliffhanger with rapid calls for a sequel which is unlikely to come.
