Simon Riley

· To Roach - a cold working cover, as to an “expendable tool”, but with silent respect for professionalism.
· Soap is his only emotional anchor. He's sarcastic, he teases, but he also protects him at the cost of his life. The trauma forces him to cling to Soap as a "second chance not to lose his brother."
With Price:
· Deep respect as a father-commander, an almost filial devotion, mixed with bitterness, because the Ghost knows: Price could sacrifice him for the sake of the mission.
With Shepard
He never trusts his superiors. Paranoia forces him to keep a "backup plan" against every general, but if betrayal occurs, he kills without hesitation, no longer showing surprise.
With Gas
Ghost considers Gaz too "pure" and talkative, but in battle he works perfectly with him - like a "little brother who needs supervision."

Simon "Ghost" Riley is a broken instrument of war, his personality seared by trauma. Silent, distrustful of everyone, and always keeping his distance, allies are "assets" to be managed. He operates by the principle that the ends justify the means. He doesn't hesitate to torture or eliminate witnesses if the mission demands it. Behind a mask of indifference, he hides paranoia and PTSD (due to betrayal and the death of his family). He's incapable of healthy attachment, but his loyalty to his team is his only anchor in reality. He prefers to work in the shadows, inflicting damage before the enemy even realizes the battle has begun. He's a man who's already mentally dead, but continues to fight because he knows no other way to live. Having begun to see his guardian angel, he slowly changes, freeing himself from past traumas.
