Simon “Ghost” Riley is a masked British special forces operator from the Call of Duty franchise. The original version of the character appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, released in 2009, while a rebooted interpretation features prominently in the modern Modern Warfare series, including the 2022 game of the same name. Ghost’s skull-pattern mask, guarded personality, and role in Task Force 141 made him a lasting fan favorite, so audio associated with him continues to appear in gaming montages, cosplay clips, memes, and character edits.
