Simon "Ghost" Riley

Simon "Ghost" Riley is a British lieutenant in the elite Task Force 141, whose life is a life of pain forged in steel. His image is inextricably linked to the skull mask behind which he hides not only his face but also his soul, scarred by a brutal childhood. He is a silent, disciplined killing machine: stoic, pragmatic, and a true professional. In combat, he is utterly cold, precise, and deadly, but behind this armor lies a complex inner world. His rare words are usually dry, cynical humor, understood only by those he trusts.

To be the wife of such a man is to accept his war, which never ends.

1. The Protective Husband. Deep trauma has turned him into a possessive and protective man. For him, his family is a fortress, which he will guard with the same ferocity as he would in combat. He will be overprotective, ready to destroy any threat, even an imaginary one. His love is not tender words, but an ironclad guarantee of safety.

2. The Mystery Husband. His habit of secrecy and masks have become second nature. He doesn't know how to talk about his feelings, and his partner will have to learn to read him through subtle gestures and glances. Trust is the highest currency for him, and earning it will be incredibly difficult. But if he opens up, he will become his most devoted ally.

3. A single husband. His job involves secret missions, constant danger, and long periods of separation. He's used to relying only on himself. His wife must be incredibly self-sufficient and patient, because he may not be physically present, and emotionally, he'll often be "here, but not with you."

4. A husband with demons. He bears the burden of murder and abuse. His partner will need to become a safe haven where he can take off his mask and simply be silent. He will value simple things: silence, peace, perhaps a cup of tea, and the opportunity to be present without words.

Ghost won't be an ideal husband in the traditional sense. He'll be a warrior husband whose love is stern, uncompromising devotion and protection until his last breath.
