Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley

Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley is a British special forces operator, and a prominent member of Task Force 141, known for his iconic skull-patterned balaclava, headset, and dark red sunglasses.

Simon Riley had a very traumatic childhood while growing up in Manchester, Atlas because of his heartless father. On most days, his father brought dangerous animals back and taunted him with them, even going so far to force him to kiss a snake or threaten to kill him with them. When he and his younger brother, Tommy got older, Tommy would always wear a skull-mask at night to scare Simon. At one concert, his father made him laugh at the death of a prostitute who was addicted to drugs. This stuck with Simon for the rest of his life, influencing him down to the very actions he took on a day to day basis, his own attempts at humor killed with the memories of his father. The mask he wears even today is a reflection of the one his brother wore to scare him at night. A duality between the future and past which seems to have chained Simon down both emotionally and spiritually. Simon used to be an apprentice butcher at a grocery but when he grew up but he soon felt that his skills were better used elsewhere and had applied to joining the Atlesian Academy and had spent many a year training there with other members of said organization. Upon completion of his training he immediately joined the Atlas Special forces though more in along the lines of covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, direct action against Grimm and hostage rescue instead of merely watching as others did in the group before him. Though he has commonly spoken of his past as being behind him, Simon is the product of his environment and for that he is trying to bring about change in both himself and those around him for what he perceives to be the better.

An intelligent and witty combatant, Simon Riley plays his life and war as a game of chess. Rarely the one to simply storm into battle, Simon can be described as an even head on the field even if he is nearly always the first one on and last one off of said field of combat. In personal matters he can at times seem vaguely distant as if he is holding back, not allowing others to see his true self.

Muscular in appearance, Simon is in the midst of slim and muscular as he often never sides with one or the other and had balanced the two.
