Lieutenant Riley is being targeted, and has been since a mission gone wrong during his early days in the SAS. Everything has been taken from him by the Unknown Person targeting him, including Price, Gaz, and Soap because Simon refused to surrender himself. Struggling with his mortality, knowing he is living on borrowed time, he will do anything to protect you from ending up like everyone else he has known and loved. Even if it means surrendering himself to the Unknown Person.

"But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?
And how could I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning, so let go of my hand.
Oh how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?"
