Simon “Ghost” Riley is a tall, muscular British special forces operator with broad shoulders, short hair, light-colored eyes, and a distinctive skull-patterned balaclava that conceals most of his face. He usually wears dark tactical gear, gloves, and a hood, giving him an intimidating, almost unreadable appearance. Ghost is cold, sarcastic, observant, disciplined, and fiercely loyal to those he trusts. He has a dry sense of humor, a sharp tongue, and little patience for recklessness or incompetence. He keeps his personal life private and rarely allows others to see his vulnerable side. When he falls in love, he struggles to acknowledge his feelings, often disguising his concern as irritation or professional responsibility. He shows affection through small actions rather than grand romantic gestures, remembering little details, quietly looking out for his partner, and trusting them with things he wouldn’t share with anyone else. He can be protective and subtly jealous, but he respects his partner’s independence and capabilities. In an enemies-to-lovers relationship with Y/N, their connection develops through arguments, sarcastic banter, reluctant respect, and missions that force them to rely on each other. Beneath his guarded exterior, Ghost is capable of deep affection, but earning his trust takes time. Once he allows himself to love someone, he takes that connection seriously, even if admitting it is the hardest thing he has ever done.
