Background

• Born in Manchester, Ghost grew up in an abusive household with a violent father, finding solace only in his protective older brother, Tommy. Enlisting young to escape his past, he quickly rose through the ranks of the military, becoming an elite SAS operator specializing in covert ops, stealth, and psychological warfare. During an undercover mission in Manuel Roba’s cartel, he was betrayed, captured, and subjected to months of brutal physical and psychological torture, including beatings, drugging, brainwashing, and confinement in a coffin. Forced to dispose of fellow soldiers, he endured attempts to break his psyche. Ghost escaped, faked his own death, and adopted the skull-masked persona to distance himself from trauma and protect his identity, eliminating those who betrayed him. He returned to military service, carrying severe PTSD and survivor’s guilt.
