![]() However, he may have been doing this to win points with Negan as Simon is shown kissing up to Negan and trying to angle for more power for himself in place of the Croat. Simon is shown to be a hypocrite about this, angrily berating the Croat for crossing the line and torturing a kid to death despite Simon's own massacre of all males over the age of ten at Oceanside. Negan later expressed regret for not killing Simon himself after this sick and twisted act and giving Simon a second chance instead. It is also confirmed that he had all the male survivors above the age of 10 from the Oceanside slaughtered after they initiated a rebellion against the Saviors, something that even shocked Negan himself. Simon also executed the elderly Brion without any hesitation, and had adolescent members of the Scavengers massacred. He is not bothered causing harm to children or the elderly as proven by a comment to Rick in which he claimed that Carl was not punished hard enough for killing two Saviors in an attempt to kill Negan. Unlike Negan who chooses to kill a few to save many and get others back in line, Simon is shown to be even more bloodthirsty and is willing to destroy entire groups due to their disobedience to the Saviors, as seen when he had the Scavengers, except for Jadis, exterminated due to their betrayal of the Saviors for siding with Rick and Jadis' lack of remorse. In spite of being Negan's most loyal follower, it is gradually revealed that the two drastically differ in their views on how to deal with disloyalty and defiance on the part of their subjugated communities. Simon simply grants Negan's request and shows no emotional reaction to the situation, which seems to imply that Simon has committed similar acts of brutality and has become desensitized to it and is even shown to take sadistic pleasure in the violence employed by the Saviors.Īs the second highest-ranking member of the Saviors, Simon held a large amount of power surpassed only by Negan himself, and also seemed to be a very capable leader and strategic thinker as he cleverly organized the capture and ambush of Rick's group by predicting which roads they would travel on and constructed barricades accordingly to lead them into an ambush. ![]() Like Negan, Simon is not beyond using fear and intimidation to achieve his ends and is a remorseless, cold-blooded mass murderer and is not at all bothered by the excessive violence that the Saviors employ, as seen when Negan casually asked him for a pen to mark where he would cut Carl's arm off. He has displayed extreme loyalty to his leader, and as such is highly valued and trusted by him. Simon is a ruthless, brutal, unpredictable, aggressive, amoral and articulate man with a sadistic and unnerving sense of humor, and is considered even by Negan too violent and "psychotic".
