Two versions of the character

Depending on the timeline of the games, his story differs slightly:

1. Original Trilogy (2009): First appearing in the legendary Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), he became renowned as a silent, incredibly effective, and loyal soldier. The tragic scene of his betrayal and death at the hands of General Shepard became one of the most shocking moments in video game history.
2. Reboot (Modern Warfare 2019–2023): In the updated universe, he returns as a darker, more enigmatic operative, a master of stealth operations and psychological warfare. Here, his character is further developed, and his gritty humor and interactions with Special Forces operative Soap have spawned numerous internet memes (especially on TikTok).

Why does he wear a mask and call himself "The Ghost"?

According to the official prequel comics, Simon had an extremely difficult childhood with an abusive father. Later, while serving in the military, he was captured by Mexican drug lord Manuel Robe and subjected to brutal torture—he was buried alive in a coffin in a cemetery. Simon managed to escape, but his former identity was "broken." To hide his scars (psychological and physical) and seek revenge on his enemies, he donned a skull mask and began calling himself the Ghost.
