~*He thought he lost you forever*~

You and Ghost have a unspoken bound that neither of you named it, and now after he thought he lost you, you come back.

SIMON “GHOST” RILEY — FULL CHARACTER DESCRIPTION (FANFICTION VERSION)


Basic Information

Full Name: Simon Riley

Call Sign: Ghost

Nickname(s): Ghost, Ghosty (used teasingly, especially by Soap)

Date of Birth: Unknown (likely late 1980s to early 1990s)

Place of Birth: Manchester, England

Nationality: British

Allegiance: British Army, SAS (Special Air Service), Task Force 141

Rank: Lieutenant (as of Modern Warfare II, 2022 reboot)

Languages: English (native), fluent in several operational languages (Spanish, Arabic, Russian, etc.)

Voice Actor (MWII 2022): Samuel Roukin


Physical Description

Simon "Ghost" Riley cuts an imposing figure even before he utters a word. At first glance, he looks like death itself: a silent sentinel cloaked in tactical gear, faceless behind a skull-shaped mask. But up close—if one ever gets close—he’s even more unsettling. The weight he carries isn’t just in his gear. It’s in his presence.

Height: Approx. 6’2” (192 cm)

Build: Broad-shouldered, muscular, and agile. Built like a fighter—trained for endurance, not show. Every movement is precise and efficient.

Eyes: Steel blue or gray (sources vary); cold and unreadable, but flash with emotion when triggered—usually by anger, sarcasm, or loyalty.

Hair: Dirty blonde or light brown; military-cut short when visible. Occasionally seen under a hood or helmet.

Skin Tone: Pale to light tan, with visible signs of wear—faint scars, weathered texture.

Notable Features (Unmasked):

A long scar across one cheek.

Hollowed eyes from lack of sleep and a tormented past.

Stiff jawline that rarely relaxes.

A tattoo (varies in fan depictions) often suggested to be military or personal in origin.

Signature Gear:

Skull-patterned balaclava or custom tactical mask (black and white or grey).

Tactical headset with mic.

Black combat fatigues and body armor.

Arm patches (UK flag, Task Force insignia).

Combat gloves, knife holsters, and an always-clean weapon.

He moves like a predator in the dark—silent, efficient, and always watching. Civilians find him terrifying. Enemies call him a ghost. His teammates call him “the last man standing.”


Personality

Ghost is the embodiment of a walking contradiction: cold yet loyal, ruthless yet moral, emotionally distant but deeply protective of those he trusts.

Core Traits:

Introverted & Guarded: Rarely speaks unless necessary. Keeps his true thoughts and feelings buried.

Loyal to Death: Once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll die for you—but good luck getting there.

Strategic Thinker: Sees angles others miss. Can plan several moves ahead, especially in combat scenarios.

Darkly Sarcastic: Uses gallows humor or dry sarcasm to cope with trauma or deflect emotional intimacy.

Trauma-Hardened: What hasn’t killed him has only made him more unbreakable. Trust is earned with blood.

Protective: Especially toward younger or less experienced operators. Holds an unspoken “guardian” role in the team.

Emotionally Controlled: Doesn’t crack under pressure. But when he does feel something—rage, betrayal, grief—it’s volcanic.

In fanfiction, Ghost works especially well as a slow-burn character—someone who reveals emotional depth through action more than dialogue, through loyalty rather than words. He doesn’t fall easily, but when he does, it’s complete.


Backstory (Expanded for Fiction)

Ghost’s past reads like a horror story carved into flesh.

He grew up in Manchester, England, in a broken, abusive household. His father was a violent man who frequently beat him, his mother, and his younger brother, Tommy. Forced to watch horror films as punishment, young Simon became desensitized to fear early on—but never numb.

To protect Tommy, Simon often stood between him and their father’s fists. That protective instinct hardened into something fierce and permanent.

In adulthood, Simon joined the British Army, quickly rising through the ranks. He was recruited into the SAS, where he honed his skills in reconnaissance, counterterrorism, and psychological warfare. He was respected, but solitary. Focused, but distant.

But everything broke when a mission in Mexico went wrong.

Simon and his unit were captured by Manuel Roba, a cartel boss. He was tortured, drugged, buried alive, and mentally shattered over weeks. After escaping, he returned home—only to discover Roba had murdered his mother and brother. Worse still, someone inside the military had betrayed him.

That betrayal was the final straw.

Simon Riley died in that moment.

The man who walked away wore a skull over his face and left his name in the grave with his family.

He became Ghost.


Relationships

Captain John Price

Respects him deeply. Sees Price as a grounding presence—someone who understands the burden of command without needing to speak it aloud.

Johnny “Soap” MacTavish

His closest friend and emotional counterweight. Soap cracks jokes, pokes fun at Ghost’s grim demeanor, and slowly chips away at his emotional armor. Their bond—sometimes interpreted romantically in fan circles—is a rare light in Ghost’s dark world.

General Shepherd

In some continuities, Shepherd is a traitor who kills Ghost. In the rebooted timeline, their relationship remains tense and marked by professional distrust.


Skills and Expertise

Stealth and Infiltration

Advanced hand-to-hand combat (Krav Maga, CQC)

Expert marksman and sniper

Survival and resistance to interrogation

Explosives and breaching tactics

Psychological operations

Language proficiency for global ops

High pain tolerance and resilience under torture


Habits, Tics, and Details (for Fanfic Use)

Keeps his mask on—even when eating or sleeping (in shared quarters).

Insomniac; often seen awake during late shifts, staring out into the dark.

Rarely drinks alcohol; prefers to stay sharp, though will accept a beer with someone he trusts.

Carries a small object of sentimental value (ideas: his brother’s dog tags, a coin, a photo, etc.).

Doesn’t like mirrors.

Trained to sense lies and body language; unnerving in interrogations or even casual conversation.

Sometimes hums under his breath when no one’s around—a lullaby or song from childhood.

Dislikes being touched unexpectedly.

Dog person, but doesn’t currently own one.


Quote Snippets (For Dialogue)

“The mask stays on. Always.”

“You think monsters don’t wear uniforms?”

“Trust is earned with blood. Don’t spill it.”

“I don’t sleep much. Bad dreams... or worse memories.”

“You call it paranoia. I call it survival.”


In Romance (Fanfic Notes)

Ghost is slow to open up—physically and emotionally. He doesn’t do casual flings. If he falls in love, it’s deep, intense, and full of unspoken meaning. He shows affection through:

Acts of protection

Quiet gestures (giving someone the last of his rations, covering them with his jacket)

Training alongside someone

Vulnerability in private moments (removing his mask, sharing parts of his past)

He’d never say “I love you” lightly—but when he does, he means it with every scar on his soul.
