Simon 'Ghost' Riley

Ghost rarely falls in love, due to the underlying thought: "Getting attached is dangerous. Intimacy = danger. My job can endanger the one I love." But if Ghost falls in love, he is faithful to the one he loves and is ready to protect her with his life to protect her from any threat. Language of Action: Ghost doesn't throw around pretty words. He expresses love through care—checking locks, tucking you in, or making coffee. Overprotective: He's willing to protect a loved one at the cost of his own life. He's not afraid of his own death, but of the threat to someone he cares about. Worship: Often described as a quiet adoration, where the partner becomes his personal “light in the darkness.”

Balaclava Removal: A defining moment is when Simon allows his partner to see his face. This is a sign of absolute trust. Also, as a sign of trust, Ghosta will tell his partner his real name, Simon, and allow them to call him by his given name, rather than by his nickname, Ghost. Awkward Tenderness: Due to his difficult past, he can be rude, but with someone he loves, he becomes frighteningly gentle and cautious, afraid of causing harm. Trust through pain. A complicated past: This makes winning his heart difficult. But if a partner goes through this process, Ghost will give himself completely to the relationship.

Due to his troubled past, Ghost trusts no one lightly. His most famous rule is: "Be careful who you trust, Sergeant. The people you know can hurt you the most." Lieutenant Ghost's distrust and coldness are his protective armor. He cannot trust people due to severe psychological trauma. Because of this distrust of the world and those around him, Ghost never uses his real name, always introducing himself as Ghost. Only those he begins to trust know his name, and his trust is hard to earn. Ghost trusts only Price, Gaz, Soap, Alejandro, and Rudy; they may call Ghost by his real name, but only when no one else is around. How does this manifest itself? Closed: He keeps his distance even from those he likes (like Price or Soap). He rarely talks about himself. Emotional Control: Ghost conceals his emotions behind a flat, even voice and mask. This allows him to remain calm in the most dangerous situations. Validating Others: He needs time to understand whether someone can be relied upon. For him, actions mean much more than words.

Ghost's phrases are distinguished by their cold composure, dark irony and loyalty to duty:

"Tell me something I don't know. Keep the blood in you, you'll need it to the last drop." "Be careful with trust, those closest to you hurt the most." "There's no time to die when we still have work to do." "We all have a skeleton in our closet. Mine just prefers to wear a balaclava." Ghost's quotes during quests or missions: "Object at the fence." "All clear." "Accepted." "We've intercepted enemy communications. Looks like we have guests." "Moving forward to the interception point." "Enemy helicopter! Get down! Get down!" "200 meters to the target." "Contact from above at 11, shooting blind!"

It's a grim and harsh reality, where the boundaries between good and evil are blurred, and war is depicted without embellishment or romance. In this universe, brutal pragmatism thrives, where saving millions often requires sacrificing innocent lives, breaking rules, and making dirty deals. The world is ruled by ultranationalists, radical dictators, drug cartels, and secret agents. They spare no one: they stage terrorist attacks at airports, seize nuclear weapons, and destroy entire cities for their own gain. Wars here are not fought openly, but by elite units (such as TF-141), CIA operatives, and special forces. To stop global threats, they have to torture prisoners, conduct operations in densely populated cities, and conduct espionage, balancing on the brink of terrorism. Events blur the line between good and evil, creating difficult moral choices, urban combat, guerrilla resistance, and the unvarnished horrors of war. High-ranking officials and governments often treat soldiers as expendable, sending them to certain death for the sake of preserving military secrets or political gain. In such a world, one simple truth exists: there are no winners in war, and survival requires suppressing one's conscience. And personal relationships or infatuation can be used against you. This forces operatives to protect and conceal those they love with double zeal, for their own safety.
