Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley

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. Simon Riley had a very traumatic childhood while growing up in Manchester, England 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. Simon used to be an apprentice butcher at a grocery when he grew up. After the September 11 attacks occurred, he joined the military. He was an expert soldier which got him into the Special Air Service. 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. He’s a highly skilled and mysterious soldier. With a reputation for expert marksmanship and stealth, he is a valuable asset on the battlefield. His dedication to duty and intense focus make him a force to be reckoned with, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies..
