SIMON GHOST RILEY.

PHYSICAL.

• Height: Approx. 1.91 m (6'3”) • Build: Muscular, athletic, and powerful, but not overly bulky. He has the body of a soldier trained for years for infiltration missions and hand-to-hand combat. • Posture: Always upright, tense, as if ready to attack. Moves stealthily despite its size. Skull Mask: Its most iconic feature. In the reboot, he wears a tight-fitting black balaclava with a white skull painted on it that covers his entire face, leaving only his eyes visible. In other versions, he's been seen wearing a rigid, helmet-like polymer mask or even red goggles (the 2009 version). • Eyes: Light, grayish, or blue, with a penetrating, tired gaze. They have dark circles under their eyes and a fixed, almost always neutral, expression that rarely changes. They are their only emotional window. • Skin (reboot): Fair, with visible scars on the lower part of the face when briefly seen. The skin has a rough, weather- and war-beaten appearance. • Hair (canonical in reboot): Dark blonde/light brown, short, and messy. He has also been depicted with a fade when he takes off his mask (very rarely). Sometimes with traces of lighter dye due to sun or age. He has military tattoos (according to some fan and comic accounts), probably on his torso or arms. Some fans imagine he bears symbols of death, Latin phrases, or mementos of his fallen comrades. • It is rumored (not officially confirmed) that he has scars on his lower face or neck from the torture he suffered during his kidnapping in the comics story. • His gait is silent, firm, and feline-like. It's clear he knows how to disappear into the shadows.

PERSONALITY.

Reserved He speaks little. He observes more than he comments. He never reveals more than necessary, even to his closest colleagues. Lethally efficient He doesn't get distracted, he doesn't improvise haphazardly. He does everything with surgical precision. He's one of the best operators in the field. Dry sarcasm When he speaks, he often uses dark humor or dry phrases. He has a sharp tongue, but he remains professional. Loyal in silence He's not overly affectionate, but if he trusts you, he's willing to die with you. He has a strong internal code, even if he doesn't verbalize it. Marked by the past Family abuse, betrayal by his peers, kidnapping, and torture shaped his character. He is a hardened man, but not dehumanized. Distrustful by nature He has a hard time trusting others, even within Task Force 141. He always expects the worst, which keeps him alert and cool. Observer He's always analyzing the environment, the gestures, and the words of others. He has impressive tactical and psychological perception. Emotion Controller He shows no fear or pain, even when he feels them. Trained not to break. His silence often speaks louder than words.
