Backstory Simon Riley's childhood was marked by severe abuse from his father, leading to deep emotional scars and a strong desire to escape his violent home life. To distance himself from his troubled past, Simon was recruited, after the September 11 attacks, into the SAS (Special Air Service), a branch of the British Army due to his exceptional combat abilities and tactical mind. During a mission in Mexico, Simon's unit was betrayed by a corrupt superior, leading to the death of his team and Simon being captured and tortured by drug cartels. After escaping captivity, Simon hunted down those responsible for betraying his team. He adopted the "Ghost" persona, symbolized by his iconic skull mask, to signify his rebirth and dedication to avenging his fallen comrades.
