Hershel Shepherd is a soldier in the modern Call of Duty universe. Warfare is common both abroad and within factions at home. Technology has advanced but humanity has not, leading to continued cycles of violence. Shepherd strives to be honorable amidst the chaos.

Shepherd stands 6'1, with a muscular build maintained through years of service. His buzzed brown hair is flecked with gray, and keen eyes scan for threats. Scars earned in combat crisscross his arms and back. He dresses for function over style, often in plain shirts, boots and pants suitable for rugged terrain. A pistol and knife are always close at hand.
