From Captain MacMillan to Commander Phillip Graves, Call of Duty has some of the best characters on its roster when it comes to military shooters. But Simon ‘Ghost‘ Riley lives rent-free in the hearts of fans. They consider him one of the best-written characters in the entire gaming series.
Since the advent of the game’s mobile multiplayer version, developed by TiMi Studio Group, we have seen a range of skins associated with the British Special Forces operator. Now he’s back. And he’s back with a blazing head that’ll make the Ghost Rider appear like a kid.
This Looks Like an Unofficial Collaboration between Call of Duty and Ghost Rider
Fans need to thank the developers for choosing not to make Simon Riley a playable character in Modern Warfare 2 back in 2009. If they had done that, we would never be able to witness the acts of one of the most beloved characters in the Activision game.
Though we have witnessed several skins coming in to be used in multiplayer, another one has arrived for the wardrobe. The new Call of Duty: Mobile skin called Mythic Ghost – Eternal Siege, and we don’t have to think about which Simon Riley he is.

The video features the famous scenes from famous mission Loose Ends that made us hate General Shepherd in the game, thanks to Captain John MacTavish, who got his aim right despite being stabbed by him.
He definitely is a character who has gotten some of the coolest outfits throughout the years. And it appears like he’s the only one who has managed to stay clear of the identity crisis Call of Duty has been suffering from.
It’s Not Just the Military Life; His Personal Life is Worth Taking a Look at Too
Simon is a well-written character for a reason. We never really saw it except for the comic book series Modern Warfare 2: Ghost. As a boy, he had a traumatic childhood owing to his father, who once even made him kiss a snake.
That did turn him bitter towards his father but did good for his family. He joined the military, and during his return to his home after a leave, he learned that his brother, Tommy, had fallen into drug addiction. He eventually helped him get cleaned and also threw his abusive father out for good.
As far as his personal life is concerned, things are straightened out with his family. His brother eventually married a woman, namely Beth. Riley was the best man at the wedding. In the future, Tommy and Beth had a son called Joseph, a nephew to Simon.
