Gaz (Kyle Garrick) in Call of Duty: Story, Games and Operators

Gaz is the callsign of Kyle Garrick, a British SAS soldier and one of the main characters of the rebooted Modern Warfare timeline. The name comes from the original Gaz of Call of Duty 4 (2007); the 2019 reboot gave the name to a new character, an SAS sergeant who becomes Captain Price's protege. The wiki credits Elliot Knight as the actor.

This page follows the story game by game, using the Call of Duty community wiki (read 2 November 2026) and Activision's Modern Warfare 4 announcement. Modern Warfare 4 was released on 23 October 2026, and its campaign involves Gaz, so the last story section contains a spoiler and is marked.

Where Gaz appears

Game	Gaz's role
Modern Warfare (2019)	Campaign protagonist from the Piccadilly attack onward; recruited to Task Force 141
Modern Warfare II (2022)	Campaign character and, from December 2022, a SpecGru operator
Modern Warfare III (2023)	Task Force 141 member during the hunt for Makarov
Modern Warfare 4 (2026)	Campaign character, a Captain by then (spoiler below)
Warzone and Warzone 2.0	Playable operator, in the Coalition (2020) and SpecGru (2022) versions

The wiki lists the Warzone operators this way: the SAS version arrived on 23 June 2020 in Season Four as the Gaz Operator Bundle, and the SpecGru version on 14 December 2022 with Season One Reloaded.

Story by game

Modern Warfare (2019). Garrick is working with the London counter-terrorism firearms officers (CTSFO) on 25 October 2019 when Al-Qatala bombs Piccadilly Circus. He meets Price in the Tanto building, vents his frustration with the rules of engagement, and Price assigns him to Bravo Team. The wiki gives his background as the British Army from 2008 and the SAS afterwards, with the line that he was the only candidate in his resistance to interrogation class to escape and evade.

Modern Warfare II (2022). Task Force 141 chases stolen missiles through Mexico and the United States. Gaz fights alongside Price in the assault on the Fuerzas Especiales headquarters, in the team led by Price and Alejandro Vargas (see the Alejandro Vargas page), and the SpecGru operator is available in Warzone 2.0.

Modern Warfare III (2023). After Makarov's escape, Gaz and Soap track a hacker on the ground in London in the Trojan Horse mission, where his callsign changes to Bravo 6-1. When the task force moves on the Channel Tunnel, Gaz takes one side with Ghost while Price and Soap take the other. He is alive at the end of the game; Soap is killed.

Modern Warfare 4

Between the games, the wiki says, Task Force 141 is disbanded after Price kills Shepherd and becomes a fugitive; Gaz returns to SAS duty, becomes an officer and is promoted to Captain. Activision describes the MW4 campaign as a North Korean invasion of South Korea, with Price running an off-book revenge mission against those hunting him. The announcement lists SAS night raids in Mumbai among its set pieces, and the wiki places Gaz and Ghost there.

Spoiler: the wiki records that Gaz is captured with Ghost and Price, and is executed by the character known as the Archer. Outlets that published campaign summaries after release report the same event. If you have not played the campaign, skip to the next section.

A note on inconsistencies

The wiki points out that Gaz's enlistment date is not consistent: an Activision blog post gives 2014, while his Modern Warfare II operator bio gives 2008. Treat the exact year as unsettled.
