Alex Keller made his debut nearly four years ago, in 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare from Infinity Ward. Despite various changes, compared to the original trilogy, the title ended up becoming a celebrated blockbuster worldwide. Along with its impressive, realistic gameplay, many of its characters also succeeded in winning over fans’ hearts like Farah, Captain Price, and Gaz; Alex was also among them.

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare, he was a CIA agent. But as the story progressed further, he eventually became an ally of Farah’s group while fighting alongside her. His overall arc in the campaign was highly appreciated by the players who enjoyed the game. Although it seemed that he was dead in the end, that wasn’t the case at all.
