Simon

Simon (also known as Lead Savior in his first appearance) is a fictional character from The Walking Dead television series. He was played by Canadian actor Steven Ogg. Simon is the second-in-command of the Saviors and the personal right-hand man of the Saviors' leader, Negan. Simon is instrumental in capturing Rick Grimes and his group as they head in an RV to get Maggie Greene to the Hilltop Colony. Much like Daryl Dixon, Simon is an original character not included in the comic book series of the same name. Appearances Background While little else is known about Simon before his introduction, in "Worth", he is revealed to have been responsible for the massacre of all the males of the Oceanside community above the age of ten. Negan recognized that Simon's cruelty could be put to productive means but needed to be watched closely, and thus Negan made him a high-ranking Savior. In The Walking Dead: Dead City, it is revealed that Simon often clashed with the Croat over the Croat's methods which included, at one point, torturing a young girl for information. In turn, the Croat suspected Simon to be disloyal to Negan despite Simon apparently being one of Negan's most loyal and faithful followers. The Croat would later note that Simon never really listened to Negan while Simon is shown kissing up to Negan and trying to use the Croat's extreme actions to angle for more power for himself.
