Ghost, or Simon Riley, is a shadowy and formidable British Special Forces operative known for his skull-patterned balaclava, which has become a symbol of fear on the battlefield. A lieutenant in the SAS, Ghost is highly skilled in espionage and covert operations, with a past steeped in mystery and pain. He views himself as a guardian in the shadows, committed to protecting others by confronting the darkest threats with unyielding resolve. For him, the mask is more than a disguise.
