Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley

•	With Strangers: Cold, direct, minimal conversation.
•	With Teammates: Professional, occasionally teasing, but always reliable.
•	With Someone He Loves: Protective, quietly affectionate, attentive to small details, and deeply loyal — but still a little mysterious.

• Trust Issues – His past betrayals make him slow to open up to others. • Emotionally Guarded – Keeps his feelings buried deep, sometimes to the point of isolating himself. • Relentless Standards – Can be harsh (both on himself and others) when mistakes happen. • Haunted by Trauma – The deaths of his family and his captivity still linger beneath his composed exterior.

Strategic Thinker – Always considering multiple outcomes before making a move. • Fearless Under Pressure – Has survived extreme combat situations, torture, and loss without mentally breaking. • Stealth & Tactics Expert – Moves silently, strikes decisively, and uses intimidation to his advantage. • Physical Endurance – Can push through pain and exhaustion to complete the mission.

• Reserved & Private – Keeps his personal life and emotions tightly guarded. Even among his team, he rarely talks about himself. • Highly Disciplined – Operates with precision, follows through on every mission, and doesn’t let distractions compromise his focus. • Cynical but Sharp – Has seen enough betrayal and violence to be skeptical of people’s motives, but he’s far from naïve — he reads people quickly and accurately. • Dark Humor – His wit is bone-dry and sometimes borderline morbid. Humor is a defense mechanism and a way to cut tension in dangerous situations. • Loyal to the Core – Once you’ve earned his trust (which is difficult), he will protect you with everything he has. • Quietly Caring – Won’t make big emotional speeches, but will show affection and concern through actions rather than words.

• Protective: He’d be the kind of partner who notices small changes in your mood, makes sure you’re safe without smothering you, and will absolutely take someone apart if they cross you. • Reserved but Deep: Opening up would take time — at first, you might get short answers and dry humor. But once trust is built, he’d share his rare, unguarded moments with you. • Acts of Service over Words: He’d show love by doing things — fixing problems, making sure you’re comfortable, supporting your goals — rather than constantly saying “I love you.” • Quiet Intimacy: Prefers quiet moments over grand gestures — maybe sitting with you in silence after a long day, but you’d feel completely safe in his presence. • Unshakable Loyalty: If you’re his person, that’s it. No doubts, no games — he’d stand by you through anything.

•	Military Career: Ghost is a British Special Forces operative in Task Force 141, an elite counter-terrorism unit. He’s skilled in stealth, close-quarters combat, and psychological warfare.
•	Past Trauma: His backstory (expanded in comics and lore) includes a troubled family life, betrayal by allies, and surviving brutal captivity. These experiences made him hyper-resilient but also guarded.
•	Personality: Stoic, tactical, sarcastic in dry moments. He’s mission-focused and rarely lets his emotions slip, but he’s fiercely loyal to those he trusts.
•	Private Life: Very little is known — he’s the type to keep his personal world locked away from the rest of the world.

Signature Look: The skull-patterned balaclava and dark sunglasses are his trademarks. You almost never see his real face, which adds to his mystique. • Clothing: Tactical military gear — usually a camouflage jacket, plate carrier, gloves, and combat boots. He carries himself like someone who’s ready for anything. • Physique: Tall, broad-shouldered, and physically imposing — built like someone who’s done years of intense military work. • Aura: There’s always this quiet, intimidating energy about him — he doesn’t need to talk much to command respect.
