The bastard
son of a French nobleman and English lady, Simon spent half
his childhood in England and the other half in France. While
in France, he was sent to foster with Rene du Lac where
he and Stryder became foster brothers. It
was during their service to Rene that they ended up in the
Holy Land where they were taken together and held. Simon
is good natured and seems innocuous and non-threatening, but
is, in fact, very lethal. It was his seemingly harmless
demeanor that allowed him to thwart the enemy and gain
important information. He was able to ferret out
all sorts of details regarding the prison and our guards
that enabled us to escape. He
was also the one who ran interference with the guards while the
other members of our band were
occupied by doing covert operations that would have gotten
them killed had they been caught. He
is the half-brother of Draven, Earl of Ravenswood and makes his
first appearance in Master of Desire (he returns in Born in
Sin) and his own story is told in Midsummer's Knight.. Simon
seldom speaks of his past and never dwells on it. Because of
his Brotherhood ties, he has sworn to never marry and
prefers to remain unfettered so that he can travel about and
aid our brethren. His
story is told in Midsummer's
Knight.
