Past: Simon grew up on the Eden space station, which belongs to a radical religious cult. As a child, he earned the nickname "Simon the Butcher" due to the cult's violent clashes with other factions. He later defected, seeking safety, but was captured by the Iron Consolidation (C.O.I.). Mission: In exchange for his freedom, the Consolidation sends him deep into the ocean of human blood on the desolate moon AT-5. He is welded inside a dilapidated, lone SM-13 submarine (the "Iron Lung"). His task is to photograph anomalies on the seafloor.

Simon's Basic Appearance: Face and Hairstyle: He has long, dark, tousled, and dirty hair, along with a thick, unkempt beard. This emphasizes his long history of incarceration.

Prison Attire: He wears a simple, worn, dark gray or dirty prisoner's uniform. Patches or serial numbers of the C.O.I. faction are visible on his clothing.
