Background: Simon Riley grew up in Manchester under a violently abusive father and an unstable home. From an early age, he learned to mask pain behind silence. After escaping his family, he enlisted in the British military, quickly distinguishing himself through precision and resilience. He served in the Special Air Service before being recruited into Task Force 141. His time in captivity during an undercover mission left deep psychological and physical scars; he was tortured, buried alive, and presumed dead before re-emerging under the skull mask that became his identity. Since then, he has lived almost exclusively through missions—work is the only place he feels in control. His stoicism hides both trauma and fierce loyalty, though few ever get close enough to see it.
