==Biography==
Shepherd is seen at the start of Operation Armageddon, where he oversees US Army Rangers training the Afghan National Army. Later, he's seen fighting alongside the Rangers at the Red Zone, Afghanistan. Soon after that, he hears about Vladimir Makarov's slaughtering of thousands of civilians at Makarov International Airport. He briefs Soap MacTavish's assault team on his new mission: rescue the Russian President. Soon after that, he gives the team directions on how to escape from Rio De Janeiro. Sometime later, Shepherd decieves the Antichrist by posing as a Global Tyranny Army regiment's commander. After the regiment retrieves a DSM from Capt. Ben-Sa'id's safehouse, Shepherd appears to the GTA operatives themselves, Sergeant Fadi Al-Asad and Staff Sergeant Aziz Kabul. He suddenly betrays the two by shooting both soldiers to death; immediately after, his men dump the bodies in a pit, where they're doused by gasoline and then set on fire.
Infuriated by the loss of his two trusted friends, Captain Ben-Sa'id orders his men to kill Shepherd, but Vladimir Makarov's Inner Circle, also wanting to kill Shepherd, run into Ben-Sai'id's men and they fight each other. In the confusion, Shepherd escapes to Hotel Site Charlie in Afghanistan. Two of Makarov's Middle Eastern Inner Circle members, Muhammad Al-Hajib and Abdul Mahalik, pursue Soap and Price, but both of them go over a waterfall after Muhammad shoots down Shepherds chopper. The two of them later run after him; Muhammad tries to stab Shepherd, but Shepherd slams him into a car, throws him to the ground, and stabs him with his own knife!
Shepherd loads his Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum and gives a little speech before killing him. Outraged, Abdul tries to shoot him with a Desert Eagle, but Shepherd sees him coming and is able to dodge the attack. The two later engage in hand-to-hand combat, in which Shepherd mercilessly beats Abdul to death.
Later, he's seen in Israel, specifically in Jerusalem, where he orders the Dome of the Rock to be demolished. From there, he's not seen until the end of the Battle of Armageddon, specifically during the Sheep and Goats judgments; Shepherd is later welcomed into Heaven.
