Notes

Simon had a very turbulent life at the covenant. Being turned over to a dragon by Odette to get a sword was an interesting time. He bargained for his life and has been working for the dragon till his death. Fionn really pissed him off by trying to stop him doing his job (as he saw it) and got him demoted for a month to the status of a grog. Nobody said anything about staying at the covenant during this time so he went away. He has been plotting Fionn's downfall ever since.

Has murdered in cold blood, stolen from a church, lied to most people and betrayed ones kinsmen. Is damned to go to hell. His final words when he was murdered by Fionn due to circumstances beyond his control were "I'll be back!"
