The Replacer is BACK!
For a time, the advertisements for Call of Duty DLC packs placed emphasis on these fictional organizations which would help you get your CoD fix.
For the "Black Ops" subseries, this was showcased with the appearance of the Replacer, portrayed by actor Peter Stormare. As his title implies, he is an agent from the "replacement business" who would replace players in their daily lives to ensure said players could enjoy themselves with the latest DLC content without interruption. He was often shown to have his hands full, often juggling tasks he seemed to have little to no experience in. There were even advertisements where he was seen accompanied by a second Replacer (portrayed by J.B. Smoove) because he just couldn't do his job alone after the first BO2 pack's release. There is also a third Replacer with the given name of Arnold who appears in the Vengeance DLC gameplay trailer, though his actor is unidentified and the scene with the Replacers is shorter than the previous two trailers before it. Stormare's Replacer became quite popular, and was brought into the games proper when he was made playable for BO4's Blackout mode. He also ended up getting a snazzy green and pink alternate "Liquidator" outfit later down the line.
Similarly, for Call of Duty: Ghosts, there was the "CODnapper", portrayed by Stephen Graham. He and his team took a more forward approach to the whole thing, staging a kidnapping of players while they're stuck doing some mundane task like attending a business meeting or shopping with the family. They would then take these players to an unmarked location with Ghosts on standby, with comfy seats and yummy snacks on hand to provide you as much CoD time as you feel you need before returning you to your loved ones. The CODnapper's team does it this way because they know that some players just can't say no to some responsibilities, so players will hire them to cause a scene that will make said players seem sympathetic to those around them while they sneak off to play CoD. The CODnapper and his team only appeared in the trailer for the first Ghosts DLC, Onslaught, so while he's not as prevalent as the Replacer, he fills a similar role to his Treyarch backed counterpart.
Edit - 5/3/23: Updated to reflect the existence of the third Replacer. If anyone can identify him, you're welcome to tell me below.

The Replacer is a unique story in a unique format, the first of Aftershock’s graphic novellas. Based on writer Zac Thompson‘s real-life experience, the book follows the Beharrell family as their jovial patriarch suffers a massive and unexpected stroke. Recovery is long and taxing and adaption to the new normal more so, but, for nine year old Marcus, the worst part is that no one else can see the…
