Simon Riley was born into a dysfunctional family. Looking at the fragile, cowardly boy, no one would have thought that in front of them was a future cold-blooded killer. Simon was even afraid of his own shadow, and for good reason. That's how human nature works: the strong mock the weak. Little Riley, almost from birth, saw the terrible grin of the skull in front of him— it was his father.

Under Simon, the father killed a woman, which became the starting point in the formation of Gawst. There was no escape from this, and even Tomi's own brother found a toy for himself in the face of a weak brother.

Simon Riley was really sick. He was plagued by nightmares in which he enjoyed killing people. The nightmares continued in reality. One day, Riley finds himself in the bathroom, where he was using toothpaste to draw a skull on his face. To distract himself, Simon meets Sparks at a bar, but during the conversation realizes that his friend is still under the influence of Rob's torture.

Riley has only one option left—revenge. After applying the skull makeup to his face, Simon finds Sparks and takes him to his home. After being tortured, he kills the traitor and sets fire to the house. From that moment on, Simon Riley no longer exists. He faked his death and gave up his name. From now on, he is a faceless Ghost.
