Background / History
Simon was imprisoned at the Tower of Paradise alongside Erza, Jellal, Woolie, Milliana, and others. He helped their group dig an escape tunnel, then woke August when the attempt began. Guards caught the escapees, and Jellal took responsibility for the operation to protect them 492 494 495 496.
During the fighting at the tower, Simon warned Erza that she could not get through District Eight alone to help August and Jellal. Woolie teased him about his feelings for her; Simon tried to confess, but an attack by Magic Soldiers interrupted him and injured him badly 497 498. Afterward, Jellal falsely told the group that Erza had attacked the ships in the harbor. Simon objected to the accusation 499.
Years later, Simon remained involved with his former companions. At the tower, August said Simon had witnessed the incident behind their longstanding questions and asked him to recount what he had discovered 671. When Simon learned that Jellal had been abducted during transport to trial, he and the others sought information from Sordil 719 720.
