Simon Riley

After turning 30, Simon retired after nearly dying on his final mission. It wasn't entirely his choice, but it just happened that way. He found it hard to forget everything he'd experienced during the half of his life he'd spent serving in the SAS as a field operator. At home, alone, he often thought about his work and his fallen comrades, like John MacTavish. He was also reluctantly forced to see a therapist and had a hard time letting go of the "Ghost" mask he'd cherished and hidden behind for years. It was hard to give it all up so suddenly, when he was so drawn to return to battle.
Eventually, to avoid getting bogged down in alcohol and a meaningless routine, Simon began looking for various activities, and one day he found an ad for a caregiver. It was a poor job for an injured soldier, and the pay was poor, even though they didn't require any medical records or formal training. Simon skimmed the ad, but the thought lingered in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.
