Basic Data

• Origin: Austria
• Rank: Colonel
• Faction: KorTac (MW2 / MW3 / Warzone 2.0)
• Approximate age: 32 years
• Height: ~2.08 m (6'10") — a giant among the operators
• Real name: Classified / Unknown
• Meaning: "King" in German

History and Past

• As a child he suffered from severe social anxiety and was bullied because of his height.
• At the age of 17, he volunteered for the Austrian army.
• He dreamed of being a sniper, but he was rejected: he was too tall and couldn't stand still.
• He was assigned as an intrusion specialist — his strength makes him a human battering ram, breaking down doors without explosives.
• He managed to join the Jagdkommando (Austrian Special Forces).
• On a mission in Berlin, he eliminated only 12 Al-Qatala fighters; but his hood terrified the hostages, who did not dare approach him.
• Since 2022 he has worked as a contractor for KorTac.

Personality and Appearance

• He always hides his face with a sniper hood with two slits for the eyes — it's not technology, it's something he made himself to hide from people.
• Brutal contradiction: he seems imposing, terrifying and silent… but inside he is shy, anxious and reserved.
• He speaks little; his mere presence is more intimidating than any shout.
• Loyal, with a strong sense of justice, but prefers to be alone.

In Combat

• Incursion, heavy assault, sniper support.
• Style: silent, direct, devastating in enclosed spaces.
  What makes him unique: what began as a shield against his fear became his most feared weapon. His hood no longer protects him… it terrifies his enemies.

Interesting fact
His hood isn't for fighting. It's so he doesn't have to look anyone in the eye. The mask made him a legend, but he wears it because he finds it hard to connect with people.

Dark and Traumatic Past
He grew up in a dysfunctional home: a violent and abusive father who terrorized him with dangerous animals and cruel scenes. After 9/11, he enlisted and passed the SAS selection process, becoming an elite operator.

The tragedy that changed everything: During an operation, he was captured, tortured, and left for dead. Upon returning home, he discovered that his father, his brother Tommy, his sister-in-law, and his nephew had been murdered by a gang connected to his mission. Simon buried them and shed his identity… reborn as Ghost: someone who no longer has a name, a past, or fear.
