Simon Ghost Riley: Everything You Need to Know About the Call of Duty Character

Simon "Ghost" Riley was introduced in Modern Warfare 2 as a British special forces operator. The mask that he wears originates from a mission he was on in Mexico where he had to wear the mask to blend in with civilians who were celebrating the day of the dead and he was ultimately captured and tortured, which plagued his mental health.

Because his mask that covers up his identity, he has always been the subject of fan theories with players attempting to figure out who he really is. This made him one of the most popular characters in the Call of Duty franchise.

At the end of the Loose Ends mission in MW2, Ghost and his team delivered valuable information on the main enemy in MW2 (Makarov) to General Sheppard, and then he seemingly killed Ghost before having him tossed in a pit and set on fire. But now, Ghost has made a sudden return.

While the reasoning for this and his sudden revival are unknown, those who loved him in MW2 should be excited to know he's coming back.
