Biography
Ghost is a former Orion operative turned terrorist who plans on building a nuclear weapon. While verifying the sale of the weapon in Poland, he immediately kills the sellers as well as two police officers before fleeing. He intends on selling the weapon to a buyer in Istanbul, and Orion is sent to intercept him. However, the mission fails, but Mitch Rapp pursues the buyer to his apartment, killing the man and taking his laptop. In Rome, while spying on a nuclear physicist, Ghost and his men capture Mitch and Annika, but are soon saved by Hurley. While meeting with a contact, Hurley is later attacked and captured by Ghost, and is taken to his hideout. At the hideout, Ghost tortures Hurley, and Mitch infiltrates the hideout, eventually ramming his car into the building and causing a massive explosion that destroys the hideout. Mitch frees Hurley, but Ghost later holds Annika hostage while escaping. Annika shoots herself, and Mitch pursues Ghost at sea, where he intends on destroying the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet in a suicidal attack. Mitch boards Ghost's boat and after a long and brutal fistfight, manages to kill Ghost by stabbing him in the throat with his own knife. Mitch later disposes of the nuclear bomb just before it explodes, the bomb wiping out Ghost's boat but fails to destroy the Sixth Fleet.
