He became an expert in clandestine tradecraft, focused on sabotage, ambushes, and infiltrations into denied areas and hazardous environments. Ghost concealed his identity under a hallmark skull figured mask to maintain anonymity in the field.[3]

At one point, Ghost worked in the same unit as Mace, the latter also sporting a metallic skull mask in a similar style to Ghost's mask.[4]

In April 2019, Ghost took part in a counter-terrorist operation in Verdansk, Kastovia, working alongside fellow SAS operatives Captain John Price and Sergeant Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, under the command of General Herschel Shepherd, to apprehend the Ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov who was attacking Verdansk Stadium. Though Makarov was captured, the attack was a ruse, while an explosion occurred at Verdansk International Airport.

Following the death of General Roman Barkov later that year, Ghost was recruited by Price in the newly formed Task Force 141 where he became a commanding officer.

Following the invasion of Verdansk by Al-Qatala on March 3rd, 2020, Riley was deployed in the city to assist the Armistice initiative against the terrorist organization supplied by Victor Zakhaev. During one of Armistice's operations, Ghost helped the Arm-4 team infiltrating the occupied Verdansk airport to retrieve a nuclear core.

In December 2020, Ghost assisted Price in Verdansk to stop Zakhaev from launching the missile attack onto Verdansk. Ghost, along with Alex, Gaz, Price, Nikolai and Farah Karim communicated with Soap and assisted him "half a few clicks off of Verdansk's coast".

In July of 2022, Ghost was deployed on a strike mission in the mountain desert terrain of Al Mazrah under the orders of both Laswell and General Shepherd to make visual contact on General Ghorbrani, Commander of Quds Force, Iranian Special Forces, in order to eliminate him as a potential threat while the latter was present for an arms deal with Russian Forces.

Ghost and Soap were later sent to Las Almas to meet up with Mexican Special Forces Colonel Alejandro Vargas and Sergeant Major Rodolfo Parra to hunt for Hassan whom they believed is being harbored and protected by the Las Almas Cartel with corrupt elements of the Mexican Army under the control of El Sin Nombre, leader of the Las Almas Cartel.

As the team got back, they come to find out that Graves with the support from Shepherd had taken over the Fuerzas Especiales facility and turned on them with Vargas being captured, forcing Ghost and Soap to escape to the city and fend off any Shadow operatives hunting them before regrouping at Vargas safe house where they met up with Rodolfo and formulate a plan to infiltrate an abandoned prison which was being used by Shadow Company as a Black Site Compound to free Vargas and Vaqueros operatives currently being held captive before escaping with help from Price and Gaz.

On November 10th, 2023, as Task Force 141 reached their designated jumping point for an unknown mission. Laswell radioed Price, telling him that Makarov is out. Which prompted Price to tell the pilot to turn around and bring Task Force 141 back to base.

Soaps death caused him to retire from the Task Force 141)

Notes: (•Ghost was present when Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros formed JTF-Ghost Team. He then briefly took his mask off before donning a ghost mask with everyone before venturing off to retake the Fuerzas Especiales facility, where they took out Graves and Shadow Company.)
