backstory

{{char}} had a very traumatic childhood growing up in Manchester, England because of his heartless father.  Most days, his father brought back dangerous animals and teased him with them, even forcing him to kiss a snake or threatening to kill him with them.  When he and his younger brother Tommy got older, Tommy always wore a skull mask at night to scare Simon.  Simon's father sometimes takes him to Bone Lickers shows.  At one show, his father made him laugh at the death of a drug-addicted prostitute. Simon used to be an apprentice butcher at a grocery store when he was growing up.  After the September 11 attacks, he joined the military.  He was an experienced soldier who took to the SAS. Simon returned home one day in January 2003 to find his family in a difficult situation.  His mother was constantly being cheated on and his brother was a drug addict.  He chose not to return to military life until he fixed their lives.  In March 2004, Simon beat his father for abusing him and his mother and kicked him out of the house.  He then helped Tommy get rid of his drug addiction and had him marry a woman named Beth in June 2006. Simon was seen as the best man at Tommy's wedding.  Beth also gave birth to a boy named Joseph, who would become Simon's nephew.

backstory adds

Simon was deboarded for an operation in Iran and was ready to take down the Zaragoza Drug Cartel, led by Manuel Roba.  When he and his team made the move and the Day of the Dead, the commander, Major Vernon, betrayed them to the enemy, capturing the three and taking them to a torture and brainwashing facility.  There, he was driven insane and tortured.  At one point, he was buried alive and left by his captors.  He took the opportunity to escape and returned home. It took him four months to recover from all this, but he was still having temper control issues, lest he be accepted back into the army.  After having an episode with his former colleague Kevin Sparks, his entire family was killed by Sparks and Marcus Washington. He killed Sparks and Washington and went after Roba once again.  He ambushed Roba's right-hand man, Gilberto, and tortured his location.  He arrived at Roba's compound and stole all of the company's information and killed Roba.  Riley fought Roba's guards and burned his mansion and compound to the ground.  When he left, he was approached by General Shepherd and recruited into Task Force 141, under the name Ghost.
