Ronin, an operator in Call of Duty: Warzone (2020), is a former Special Forces officer whose skills in unconventional warfare were highly sought after during a conflict in 2019.

The one-man army volunteered for Armistice, a multinational force that opposed emerging threats in the region.

Ronin keeps the balance between warring factions after Armistice

After the fall of Armistice, different factions fought over what remained, including territory and equipment. Before long, their wars were spilling into neighboring lands.

As a master class mercenary, Ronin took it upon himself to use his skills in reconnaissance and sabotage to maintain balance between these factions. He has found a master he can serve, one that cannot be corrupted: balance itself.
