Characters
- Private Preston Marlowe: The protagonist of the game. Marlowe was put in Bad Company for damaging a General's limousine while joyriding in a helicopter.
- Private Terrence Sweetwater: Put in B-Company for uploading a virus on a military secured network. He is a generally intelligent soldier with a dry sense of humor who also loves to talk a lot.
- Private George Gordon Haggard, Jr: Haggard often provides comic relief and is a pyromanic. Haggard was put in B-Company for blowing up "the biggest ammo dump east of Paris". It is mentioned in the Gold Edition manual under Haggard's profile that he blew up the officer's latrine with a claymore mine. He is perhaps the only one who likes being in the bad company.
- Sergeant Samuel D. Redford: The leader of the squad. He is the first to volunteer for his position, despite the company's high mortality rate. In exchange, the Army would shorten his term of service. Redford shows his love of fishing, and at the start of the game has only three days left until the end of his service.
- Mike-One-Juliet: The squad's commander, she tells the player what to do in the beginning missions, and helps the squad obtain the gold once they go AWOL. Sweetwater has a crush on her.
- Zavimir Serdar: Dictator of the fictional state of Serdaristan, he is captured by the squad and he subsequently loans them his golden Mi-24 to help them find the gold and to escape his palace which was under invasion from the Legionnaire Mercenaries.
- The Legionnaire: Leader of the Legionnaire mercenaries, he is the main antagonist of the game. He makes few appearances, and his last appearance is at the end of the final mission where the player must shoot him down in his Ka-52 helicopter. It is revealed at the end of the game that he survives the crash, relatively unharmed, with a vengeful glare as he gets up.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
“Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
