- Madman during the Teamwork! Easter Egg "Madman" (aka Pvt. Madman) is a character in the Soul of the Machine storyline. He is non-playable and appears only during the Major Easter Eggs for S.O.D. 2036 and Guilin Peaks, as well as being heard in some of the latter map's radios. He originally appeared canonically in Call of Duty Online's Cyborg Evacuation mode also as a NPC.

So far, like many of the characters in the storyline, little is known about Madman's past. His real name is unknown and only goes by his codename or Pvt. Madman. He enlisted in the United States Army during the Second Korean War (or the "Conflict in Korea" as it's known) which occurred sometime before 2036. He was given the name "Madman" while in basic training due to his superiors claims of having "a little bit of insanity in his eyes". He was originally going to be stationed in Occupied South Korea, but the war ended and was stationed to Base #421-016 in Guilin, China instead. When he arrived at the base he met Sergeant, who made him and the other recruits go through unnecessary verbal abuse from her as a way of "preparing them for an unknown enemy".

Madman and several units were sent to the Guilin Peaks mountain range to raid an unsanctioned CODOL laboratory being used for illegal teleportation experiments. On the way, all of the helicopters used to transport them there, including the one Madman was on, were shot down by armed cyborgs. Madman survived and managed to walk out with only a scar on his face that he later patched up. He managed to go through many different cyborgs by himself before reaching a small laboratory inside one of the mountains. He found a small P.T.D. (Personal Teleportation Device) created by Dr. Van Lucker. He manages to figure out how it works and uses to find the whereabouts of Van Lucker.

When he teleported, he ended up inside a small room with Dr. Claybon at the Scientific Observations Department in Atlanta, Georgia. He immediately kills Claybon with a Model 1887 shotgun and talks to the scientists outside trying to escape. He helps them by giving them parts of an airplane that happen to be inside the room with him in exchange for parts needed to rebuild the P.T.D.. He fixes the P.T.D. and teleports once more back to Guilin, China in the same place where he found the device. He finally confronts Dr. Van Lucker and attempts to kill him, but Van Lucker does not get hurt at all by him and reveals his immortality to Madman, the scientists, and the Mercs (one of them being Sergeant). Dr. Van Lucker then uses his telekinesis abilities to throw Madman inside of the MDT and teleports him to an unknown location.
