Simon "Ghost" Riley
Simon "Ghost" Riley is a character first introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009). He is voiced by Craig Fairbrass in Modern Warfare 2, Jeff Leach in Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile, and Samuel Roukin in reboot series' Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023). In Modern Warfare 2, he is a member of Task Force 141, serving as its second-in-command. Later in the game, he is assassinated by General Shepherd along with Roach. In the reboot series, he remains a member of Task Force 141, albeit with increased dialogue, most of which is him making jokes. He wears a mask over his face with a grinning skull design over it, as well as sunglasses over the mask. He is the main character in the Modern Warfare 2: Ghost mini-series of comic books, which explores the backstory of the character prior to the events of Modern Warfare 2, including the death of his parents. The character was designed by Joel Emslie in less than two hours in 2007.

Ghost's role in the reboot Modern Warfare II was highly criticized by Jeremy Peel of TechRadar, being described as two-dimensional with no character development, and that the character should have been let go when Modern Warfare III was released. He furthermore described the character as a "balloon with a hole in it", and the reasons for what he viewed as weaknesses in the game's campaign. Ghost has often been considered a fan favorite character, with his likeliness being utilized in internet meme culture as a reaction image. According to Ruby Innes of Kotaku Australia, the character's renewed popularity from Modern Warfare II was especially amongst women on TikTok, leading to the creation of numerous "fan-cams" of the character and social media posts claiming Ghost to be their "babygirl." Innes considered Ghost to be the "TikTok sexyman", derived from the term "Tumblr sexyman".
