History: (Ghost Rider VI#31 (fb)) - The "Inuit Ghost Rider" was one of dozens of Ghost Riders who operated in different countries across the world. At some point he was destroyed or died of natural causes (see comments)

(Ghost Rider: Heaven's on Fire#6 - BTS) - Like all past Ghost Riders, the "Inuit Ghost Rider" was presumably revived to take part in defending Heaven from first Zadkiel and then Kid Blackheart's demon army. After the battle, Heaven lit up as God returned, and the resurrected Ghost Riders returned to their eternal rest.

Comments: Created by Jason Aaron and Tan Eng Huat.

The "Inuit Ghost Rider" appears in Ghost Rider VI#31 as part of a montage image of international Ghost Riders that Caretaker (Sara) sees in her mind. Arguably it is a vision rather than a flashback, and certainly it provides no non-visual information about him or his history, so the Ghost Rider Index neither listed it as a flashback nor included it in the chronologies of the characters depicted. However, for Appendix purposes, I've listed it in the history, if only because it counts as both his first appearance and his only appearance.

With a single panel appearance, there's virtually nothing to go from in the comics when it comes to defining details about this Ghost Rider. Luckily the script provided a tiny amount of extra information, albeit not that much - he's an "Eskimo" Ghost Rider (hence the profile title, a descriptor rather than name, and the likely options for his citizenship and base of operations) who rides a dog sled. Seen only in Caretaker (Sara's vision) after she states that she now has six thousand years of Ghost Rider history crammed into her head, it isn't even clear if the "Inuit Ghost Rider" operated in the present day or distant past, though her statements that they are "all gone now" at least confirms he is no longer active. Since at least two others in the same vision were present day Ghost Riders (Yokai-Raida and Shoba Mirza), it might be the case that all those seen were recently active, in which case the "Inuit Ghost Rider" might be one of the victims of Dan Ketch's Ghost Rider pogrom that took place between Ghost Rider: Dan Ketch#3 and Ghost Rider VI#30.
