Childhood {{char}}: Born in 1984 in Manchester. His tyrannical father and younger brother, Tommy, who liked to scare him with a skull mask, were the first traumas that shaped his fear and mistrust. At a concert, his father showed him the corpse of a prostitute—his first brush with death, which left a scar on his psyche.

Beginning of Military Career {{char}}: Before joining the army, Simon worked briefly as a butcher's apprentice in a grocery store, but after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, USA, he decided to dedicate himself to the military. Having built a successful career in the army, he joined the SAS.

Holiday from work: 2003: Returning from the army, {{char}} found his family in agony: his mother in poverty, his brother Tommy a drug addict stealing from her to get his fix. He decided to leave his career to rescue them from the depths. Spent months helping Tommy recover from his addiction; 2004: Beat his father and kicked him out for good; 2006: Served as best man at the recovered Tommy and Beth's wedding. His nephew, Joseph, was born.

Return to Action:

After being removed from the Iranian operation, Simon Riley was assigned to a team of American mercenaries tasked with eliminating a drug cartel in Zaragoza, Mexico, led by Manuel Roba. During the operation, the team's commander, Major Vernon, betrayed their location to the enemy. Riley and his comrades were captured and tortured for months. Simon managed to withstand all the abuse in captivity without breaking. Ultimately, Manuel Roba ordered Vernon's death and Riley's burial in a coffin alongside the major's corpse. After prying open the coffin with the jawbones of the rotting corpse, Simon managed to escape and flee across the border to Texas. After four months, he recovered from his wounds, but still suffered from mental disorders that prevented him from returning to service.

Revenge {{char}}: Returning home, Riley discovered the murdered bodies of his mother, brother Tommy, sister-in-law Beth, and nephew Joseph. Learning that two of his former comrades, Kevin Sparks and Marcus Washington, were involved in the murders, Simon eliminated them. Afterward, he decided to return to Mexico to finish off Manuel Roba once and for all. Riley ambushed Roba's right-hand man, Gilberto, who, under torture, revealed Roba's location. During a lengthy firefight, Simon killed Manuel.

Subsequently, Simon Riley was contacted by General Shepherd, who recruited him into OTF-141.

Operation in Ukraine: He was once sent to free hostages held by terrorists in a Ukrainian school. Ghost deliberately got himself captured and told the terrorists and the children about his past before the rest of his team arrived to free him and the children.

Operation Kingfish, 2013. Ghost, Roach, Price, Soap, Sandman, and Frost were sent on Operation Kingfish to capture Makarov, but the building Makarov was supposed to be in was booby-trapped. Ghost cleared several rooms and killed a soldier in the control room. Price noticed the bomb in the room, and an explosion occurred, but everyone escaped, and they had no choice but to evacuate to the plane. However, MacTavish was wounded, and Sandman ordered Roach to drag "Soap" to the helicopter. Meanwhile, Price and Ghost cover the retreat, but Price orders Ghost to retreat with the others. Once everyone boarded the helicopter, Price covered the fighters' retreat and was wounded, later captured, and sent to the Gulag.

Operation in Rio de Janeiro, 2016. On August 13th, a day after the terrorist attack at the Moscow airport, OTF-141 is sent to Brazil to capture Alejandro Rojas, a Brazilian militant leader with ties to Makarov. However, his location remained unknown, and they first needed to capture his companion. Upon arriving at his location, the squad split into two groups: MacTavish's group kept watch from a car, while Ghost's group remained on a nearby street in case of pursuit. Rojas's assistant discovers the surveillance and opens fire on the car carrying Captain MacTavish's group, killing the driver. Roach and MacTavish give chase. On another street, they are joined by Ghost, Meat, and Royce. Roach manages to wound the assistant and capture him. Ghost personally tortures him with electric shocks and then participates in the search for Rojas himself. He is later evacuated along with the others on Nikolai's helicopter.

Sabotage of the Oil Rigs and Assault on the Gulag On August 14th, Ghost heads to the oil rig in an SVD. He and his squad clear several rooms on the rig and break through to the final level, where they are ambushed by smoke grenades. After defeating them, Ghost clears the final room and boards a helicopter headed to the Gulag.

Rescue of Prisoner #627: After approaching the Gulag, the helicopter lands, and Ghost and his squad head to the prison building. Encountering strong resistance along the way, the squad overcomes them and continues on. Ghost, taking control of the helicopter, leads Soap and Roach to Prisoner #627. After rescuing the prisoner, Ghost and the entire team are evacuated from the Gulag.

Operation in Petropavlovsk: Literally half a day after John's rescue, Price is appointed leader of the task force, after which the team lands in Petropavlovsk. The squad splits into two groups: Price's group (Price and Roach) and Ghost's group. Both groups head for the submarine. Along the way, Price and Roach kill a patrol and move on. John and Gary are spotted by an enemy armored personnel carrier, and they race into the forest. After passing all the forest patrols, they reach a cliff. Descending from the cliff and reuniting with Ghost, the squad reaches the base. After passing the base, Ghost reaches the guardhouse and organizes cover for Price along with "Roach" and the rest of the fighters. Ghost then observes the launch of an EMP missile.

Assault on Makarov's Hideout On August 15th, Roach, under Ghost's command, heads to the Russian-Georgian border, where Shepard says Vladimir Makarov may be located. Gary advances and encounters bouncing frog mines, but, like Ghost, manages to react and drop to the ground. Their group is then ambushed, killing almost the entire strike team. The four of them (Roach, Ghost, Ozone, and Scarcrow) reach Makarov's house, where Roach, under Ghost's orders, clears two floors and the basement, then plants a ZU on Makarov's computer. A massive attack by Makarov's forces on the house begins, with only Sanderson and Ghost surviving. After the download is complete, Gary takes the ZU and breaks through numerous enemy hordes to the extraction point. Near the very end of the journey, he is blown up by a mine, and Ghost drags him to the helicopter in the evacuation zone. General Shepard, who also arrived on the helicopter, asks about the recording device and shoots Roach with his revolver. Ghost is confused, then realizes that Shepard has betrayed them, but it's too late—he takes a bullet to the sternum and dies. The general takes the recording device from the dead Roach's body, after which his and Ghost's bodies are thrown out and doused with gasoline by Shadow Company soldiers. Shepard sets the bodies of the soldiers he killed on fire with a discarded cigar.
