Lt. General Shepard was an officer for the US Army in Call of Duty MW2. He commanded two different sanctions, Task Force 141 and Shadow Company. He starts off as a normal officer who instructs you on what to do but later you find he has other intentions. He betrays not only once, but twice. Three times if you count him betraying the whole country by his actions as he must have taken some kind of oath when enlisting.

The first betrayal was in the epic terrorist scene at a Russian airport. If you played this game you know what I'm talking about. You are undercover working with the infamous Vladimir Makarov, an international terrorist who will do absolutely anything for money. At first, things feel just fine. Makarov and his team show know sign that they know you are undercover for the US. Sadly (or perhaps awesome :D), you must blow through all the awaiting passengers at Zakhaev International Airport. After getting outside you fight off the police forces and reach an EMT where everyone gets in to escape. Somehow, Makarov shoots you as you try to get on-board and you hear him speak before you die. He states that you are an undercover agent for the USA and Russia will be mad wanting war against the US. The event very well escalated a war between the new Ultranationalist Russia and the United States of America.

So where does Shepard play into it? Later in the game... the very end, you find out. Well perhaps not if you aren't an anylitcal thinker. Why would an international terrorist who does terrible acts primarily for money want to start a war? Well perhaps to gain more money from the war but business is always there in the world of evil. Apparently, Shepard hired Makarov to commit these acts to create a war so he could get back at Russia for nuking 30,000 of his soldiers in Saudi Arabia 5 years ago (yea you remember that other epic scene!). Seems like some people will just do anything to get revenge, even after such a long time. This was his first major betrayal act as he betrayed you as PFC Allen, the USA, and the world.

The second betrayal was towards the end of the game. If you have yet to play this game, don't worry I won't spoil it for you except I will say he will use you and a buddy to get Makarov's entire operations playbook downloaded onto a DSM to cover his own tracks and once you are done with that hard mission he shoots you as you hand it over and oh yea your buddy too, also he sets you on fire.
