Simon is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a combat expert who takes work from the merchant guild Vandahl Trading. He has come close to dying more times than he can usefully count, and he keeps going back for the feeling.

Biography
Simon has narrowly escaped death on a long string of battlefields. While travelling as a mercenary he met Talimun, the chief manager of Vandahl Trading, and began taking the guild's contracts. As of 1449 on the Dagdan Calendar he is in Talimun's employ, which puts him in the one group on the roster that trades rather than competes.
Personality
He is enthralled by the tension that only exists on a battlefield, and he keeps chasing it. His listed likes are fighting to the death, food from his hometown and womanising, and his interests are carving wooden figures and making preserves. The second half of that list is doing a lot of quiet work: the man who wants a fatal fight also wants a jar of pickles and a whittled figurine.
Role in Battle
His profile calls him battle-hungry to his core and states plainly that a fatal blow is not enough to finish him, which points at a survivability trait rather than a damage one. Published scenes pair him with Lilian, a Saraminian soldier, on the subject of how each of them spends money earned in a war, and with Mikaela, who was likewise hired rather than recruited.
Recruitment
Simon can be recruited on all four Paths in Part I. Besides Support level 3 and a Renown level that depends on the Path, he settles the question with a coin toss: the Hero has to call it, and Tails is the call that wins him over.
Path | Support Level | Renown Level | Extra Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
Cai (Fox) | 3 | 8 | Coin toss, call Tails |
Dietrich (Lion) | 3 | 7 | Coin toss, call Tails |
Theodora (Wolf) | 3 | 7 | Coin toss, call Tails |
Leda (Eagle) | 3 | 6 | Coin toss, call Tails |

What Is Not Known
His starting class and starting combat stats remain unrecorded here. His personal ability, Close Call, can leave him at 1 HP after an otherwise fatal hit when he has at least 2 HP; its trigger chance equals his Luck. His hometown has not been documented here yet. He is recruitable on every Path, as set out above, although he does not appear on the roster grouping used for the rest of the cast.
