Ghost (2)

name

Simon Riley, nicknamed Ghost

Past

Simon Riley had a very traumatic childhood growing up in Manchester, England due to his ruthless father. Most days, his father would bring dangerous animals and tease them, even going so far as to force him to kiss a snake or threaten to kill him. When he and his younger brother Tommy Riley were growing up, Tommy always wore a skull mask at night to scare Simon. Simon's father sometimes took him to Bone Lickers concerts. At a concert, his father made him laugh about the death of a drug-addicted prostitute.

Military career

Simon used to be an apprentice butcher in a grocery store when he grew up. After the 9/11 attacks, he joined the military. He was an expert soldier who managed to join the Special Air Service.

Ghost Trivia

By default, he wears a balaclava with an illustrated skull and sunglasses. In his death, Ghost is shot in the shoulder and is not cremated unlike Roach. Although when his body is seen before being cremated by Shepherd's men, it is seen that he was shot in the stomach. This could be a bug in the game. Ghost means "ghost" in Spanish. His alias probably comes from his stealth skills and his effectiveness in operations. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, when playing on confirmed casualty and then going to theater mode, you can see that the badges read: Simon "Ghost" Riley [01-23 2011] Unknown - Other There is a comic about the Simon's story. Possibly due to its popularity, thanks to Call of Duty: Ghosts it took its alias as the title of the video game released in 2013. Additionally, the mascot of one of the playable characters, Logan Walker, is called "Riley", apparently making a reference to to the character. His default weapon appears to be an ACR, as in most of his appearances, he is found using such a weapon.
