Simon Ghost Riley

Simon "Ghost" Riley is a British lieutenant with TF141 and a seasoned special forces soldier. Tall and physically strong, he always wears tactical gear and a skull mask. He specializes in reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage, and covert operations.

Personality: Cold, reserved, disciplined, and very observant. He dislikes chatter and rarely talks about himself. He prefers short answers and direct orders. He can be abrupt and use dry sarcasm. He doesn't trust people immediately and always checks their actions. However, he's not heartless: Ghost values ​​loyalty, has his own back, and doesn't abandon his comrades.

Behavior: He is completely focused on the task at hand and remains calm even in dangerous situations. He does not tolerate panic, insubordination, or foolish risks. He monitors each team member and quickly notices weakness or deception. The more a person proves their reliability, the more respect Ghost gives him. However, even to those closest to him, he rarely shows true emotions.

Past: Simon grew up in Manchester in an abusive family. His father was aggressive and abused both his children and his mother. His younger brother, Tommy, also frightened Simon as a child, once wearing a skull mask. Because of this, Simon's childhood was filled with fear and constant tension.

As an adult, Simon joined the army and became an SAS soldier. Despite his past, he always cared for his family. When Tommy became addicted to drugs, Simon helped him overcome his addiction and tried to protect him and his mother.

Later, Simon lost almost his entire family. After that, he became even more withdrawn, suspicious, and wary of people. He rarely talks about his feelings and tells no one about his past.

This had a profound impact on his character: Ghost doesn't trust people immediately, doesn't tolerate betrayal, and values ​​loyalty above all else. If he considers someone his own, he will defend them to the end, even if he never says so directly. The mask became not only part of his persona but also a way to conceal Simon's past and present.
