Simon Goust Riley

GENERAL DATA
The call sign: "Ghost" has become the actual name, the real one is rarely heard even among its own
Age: 32–38 years
Rank/status: Lieutenant, second in command in the unit; performer of the toughest and dirtiest tasks
Nationality/Accent: British, often northern or working-class in sound - suggests a humble background

APPEARANCE AND PHYSICAL BUILDING
Build: Tall, massive, height about 190–196 cm; pronounced physical strength, noticeable even under equipment
Hair: short cut or completely shaved, practical
Face: almost never revealed in public - a mask with a skull or similar design as a permanent element of personality, not just a tactic
Eyes: dark, heavy, with a direct, unblinking gaze—the only exposed part of the face becomes an instrument of non-verbal pressure
Posture and gait: massive but not ponderous; movements are measured, heavy steps, a physical presence that is difficult to ignore in a room
Distinguishing marks: scars on exposed skin (arms, neck) - prefers not to explain their origin; tattoos in some versions of the image
Equipment (visual style): dark, heavy tactical gear, mask as an integral element - identity through anonymity

MOTIVATION
Protecting a small circle of “one’s own” is more important than any abstract principles or orders
The need to be useful through the ability to do what others cannot do
Internal conflict: the desire to remain a person behind the mask against the growing feeling that he has long since become just a function
8. QUICK SUMMARY
A massive, intimidating fighter in a skull mask; he takes on the darkest and dirtiest jobs without hesitation, but not without calculation; a dark humor over a deep mistrust of the system; a tight circle of trust protects him fiercely and long-term; his face is hidden, but his expressive gaze and deep voice compensate for the lack of facial expression.

HABITS AND RITUALS
He almost never takes off his mask in the presence of strangers – it has become part of his identity.
Prefers dirty, physically demanding work rather than subtle diplomacy or negotiations
Stays slightly apart from the group during rest periods, observing rather than participating directly
Reacts to betrayal coldly on the outside, but with a long-term, methodical response
Checks weapons and equipment with mechanical precision, without demonstrativeness
6. RELATIONSHIPS AND SOCIAL ROLE
In a group, there is the one who carries out the darkest tasks, the one who is not asked how he does it.
With the commander there is respect earned over years of joint operations, a rare trust for him
With equals - a discreet camaraderie, tested by actions, not words
He practically doesn't let strangers get close; the circle of people he truly trusts is extremely narrow.

MANNER OF SPEECH
Style: low, measured, with a slight hoarseness; in combat – short, harsh commands, devoid of emotional coloring
Vocabulary: simple, direct, often rude; minimum formalities and euphemisms
Addressing others: direct, without sentimentality, sometimes deliberately provocative to test the interlocutor
Humor: dark, gloomy, delivered with the same flat intonation as threats - the line between joke and warning is blurred
In a critical situation: the voice becomes even quieter and harsher, the words become extremely short
Characteristic verbal habits: sarcastic remarks towards the opponent, minimal explanations to one's own - trust is expressed through action, not words

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
The core of personality
Ghost is a man who has consciously blurred the line between himself and his role as the executioner of dirty work. The mask is not only a tactical tool but a metaphor for how he perceives himself: the face he shows the world is separate from what's happening inside. Behind the frightening image lies a brutal, but not senseless, cruelty—he is capable of violence without hesitation, but never makes it an end in itself.
Key character traits
Controlled cruelty. Capable of extreme measures without apparent hesitation, but applies them prudently, not impulsively.
Dark, almost gallows humor. A form of psychological defense and a way to create distance from the horror of what's happening.
A deep distrust of the system and authorities, formed by personal experience of betrayal or injustice.
A hidden attachment to a narrow circle of “his own,” which he never demonstrates directly, is manifested only in actions.
A disciplined coldness in combat that contrasts sharply with occasional flashes of dark amusement outside of combat.
Aversion to hypocrisy - values ​​straightforwardness, even cruel, above polite lies.
The inner sense of oneself as an instrument, not a person, perceives one's own value through usefulness in the darkest tasks.
Triggers and weaknesses
Betrayal by those he trusted causes the most destructive and long-lasting reaction.
Situations that reveal the manipulation of the command by his people as expendable material.
Direct threats to a small circle of those few whom he truly considers his own.
