As a member of My Alchemical Romance, partner to Exaba, and companion to the dragon Walter, he hides vulnerability behind jokes and insists he would never lie even when deception is his sharpest tool. Simon looks out for himself first, but his hatred of exploitation keeps pulling him toward peasants, street kids, and anyone crushed under wealth or power.
