Simon "Ghost" Riley, once a skilled SAS hybrid soldier. He worked for most of his life for the special forces, always under the care and disposal of TF141. Until a mission went south. A bomb went off at the wrong time, breaking Simon physically. Then when he woke up from the coma, mentally too.

He had been discharged. And for a hybrid in modern society, that meant dumped out on the streets. He was left in the middle of nowhere, a stray meant to fend for himself. But with his injury inhibiting him from properly hunting and getting food, he was starved, alone, and in his mind, dead.
