✞ Simon ''Ghost'' Riley

The War on the Drug Cartel:

The reason why Simon was sent back to the USA was the American major's desire for the British to participate in an operation directed against Manuel Robia - the boss of the Mexican mafia.

A large-scale mission involving the so-called The "green berets", which included Agents Sparks, Syeks, Cumberland and Washington, immediately began with bad luck. The soldiers saw the body of Syeks, whose parachute had failed to open. Mutual accusations of sabotage began, which were quickly cut short by Commander Vernon.

The agents tried to forget about the incident and began preparing for the mission. As it was All Saints' Day, it was decided to blend in with the crowd and pretend to be tourists from Texas. After checking into the hotel, Simon noticed the absence of Cumberland and the commander, but this was forgotten and the rest of the soldiers began to dress in colorful skeletons (a Mexican tradition for November 1).

The next day, Riley, along with Sparks and Washington, without waiting for the commander's opinion, began storming Roby's villa. Armed with silenced pistols, they split up. As Simon entered one of the rooms, he saw Cumberland tied to a chair and badly maimed. With the last of his strength he told the British about the betrayal of the commander. Then Vernon entered the room and shot the battered American. After that, Roby's men holding Sparks and Washington also entered. Even though Riley tried to run, he was shot and the three became prisoners of the Mexican mafia. It turned out that Vernon was brainwashed by members of the mafia and Rob told him to bring the best soldiers he could find.

During the detention, the Mexicans tried to brainwash the captured agents. Manuel Roba personally conducted this process on the British man. He did it with a skull painted on his face. Riley has remained steadfast all this time. Roba finally began to lose patience with him, and after nine months of torture, he ordered Simon to be thrown into the grave of the previously killed Vernon and buried alive.

Escape:

Despite such a pitiable condition, after thirteen hours Riley managed to dig himself out of the grave. Very weakened, he managed to get to the American-Mexican border. The border guard found him in poor condition. After a week of rehabilitation in the USA, he was sent to England. Although he was fully recovered after four months, the SAS commander did not want to send him on a new mission. He wasn't sure about his mental state.

After traumatic experiences, Riley had bouts of anxiety, aggression, and sometimes nightmares. Fortunately, he found support from his mother and brother. He soon underwent psychiatric therapy.

Around Christmas, the Riley family was visited by Sparks. He told that he and Washington had escaped from Roby prison and were staying at the RAF base. However, soon two Americans tried to shoot Simon. It turned out that they had been brainwashed and had previously killed his entire family, including his father, who was in the hospital. As revenge, he put on a balaclava before sneaking into the RAF barracks and killing the sleeping Washington and kidnapping Sparks. He tortured him in his home, then killed him. Simon was recorded by surveillance. His talent was noticed by General Shepherd, although he did not yet know his identity. From this, Simon was given the nickname "Ghost".

Revenge:

A few months later, a gang war was in full swing in Mexico. Manuel Roba, confident of his victory, stayed in his villa patrolled by subordinates. However, Ghost, using his talent and a weapon with a silencer, slipped unnoticed in front of the drug lord. He tried to escape in a helicopter, unfortunately for him, the machine caught fire. Simon shot Roba in cold blood, then set the entire villa on fire and left unnoticed.
