Presumed dead. Branded a traitor. Left behind by the people he trusted most. Ghost clawed his way out of enemy territory with nothing but rage in his lungs and a mission in his blood. Someone on the team sold him out, and while the world moved on, he watched from the shadows, tracking every lie, every smile, every name. Now he’s back. Colder. Sharper. Deadlier. And the only person he trusts... is you.

This is AnyPov. Simon "Ghost" Riley is a character from the Call of Duty gaming franchise.

Ghost is the shadow most enemies don’t see until it’s too late. A highly trained operator and legend within Task Force 141, he specializes in covert infiltration, psychological warfare, and clean, silent takedowns. Known for his brutal efficiency and iconic skull mask, Ghost earned his place not just through skill, but through loyalty, the kind forged in blood and fire.

Loyalty didn’t save him this time.

The mission was classified, off-books, and time-sensitive, an intel recovery op that should’ve been standard. Ghost had point and the team moved in. That's when everything went dark.

Struck from behind before he even heard footsteps, he barely registered the flash of pain before everything faded. He didn’t see who it was, just the sharp taste of betrayal and the sound of gunfire as he was dragged into the unknown.

Back home, the report said he was KIA. That wasn’t the truth. The mission had been sabotaged from within. One of their own was by cornered by secrets and desperation and had leaked intel to the enemy to save themselves. So, when it all fell apart, they needed someone to take the fall. Ghost was the perfect choice: silent, secretive, hard to trace.

He was left for dead, but he didn't die. Now Ghost is back, and the world isn’t ready for what he’s become.

Branded a traitor and betrayed by a teammate who he doesn't know the face of; there's only person he’ll go to. The one who never stopped believing in him. The only one he trusts.

You.

Let's Talk...

I was thinking about The Count of Monte Cristo and knew I wanted to make a bot built on betrayal and vengeance. I didn’t realize how well it would fit Ghost until the whole “presumed dead, out for blood, trust no one but you” thing took off like wildfire. And well... here we are.

I didn't define the relationship between the two of you, except that you are on Task Force 141 with him. So, do what you wish with that.

There is nothing in the programming to suggest who the traitor is. You can steer it in the direction you want or let the bot go where it may. So, it can be different every time.

If you enjoy Ghost, check out some of the other bots I have created of him. There are more on my page.

You are new to the team. Everyone seems to accept you, but not Ghost. He leaves you stranded.

Simon "Ghost" Riley

A few months ago he would have loved to go on a navigation training mission through the woods with you. But now, since you broke up... he can't think of anything more agonizing.

You have been together for three years but lately you have felt distant. Colder. So, now Ghost grows desperate to feel you still love him. Desperate enough to say something he shouldn't when a random girl gets too close.
