New characters include Mexican Special Forces Colonel Alejandro Vargas (Alain Mesa) and CEO of private military company Shadow Company, Commander Phillip Graves. The game takes place in 2022, three years after Price forms the elite multinational counter-terrorist unit Task Force 141 with Gaz, Soap, Ghost and Farah; Vargas joins the team as its latest member.
