Simon

Simon is a main character and an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. He is a former high-ranking member of the Saviors, serving as Negan's right-hand man and the group's second-in-command before his betrayal and attempt to take control of the Saviors from Negan. He served as the secondary antagonist of the second half of Season 6, and the whole of Season 7.

Overview
Simon is a ruthless, brutal, unpredictable, and articulate man with a sadistic and unnerving sense of humor, and is considered even by Negan too violent and "psychotic". He has displayed extreme loyalty to his leader, and as such is highly valued and trusted by him. 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. 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.

As 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.

Virginia
Simon was born in the late 1970s and grew up in Virginia, however, extensively little is known regarding that of his early life. Simon grew to become a charismatic, efficient and hardworking man who sold subprime mortgages to unsuspecting customers and was fully able to justify his immoral motives to other people even though he was fully aware of his own sinister intentions.

Washington, D.C.
At some point after the onset of the outbreak, Simon discovered an abandoned factory, where some survivors lived and thus he joined the group. Because of their incapable leader, Simon came into contact with Negan and subsequently joined his group named "The Saviors". At some point later, Negan along with Simon's and other Saviors' help managed to seize control over the group from the previous leader and established the factory as their central headquarters as well as their personal home which became titled "The Sanctuary". The two also developed a firm loyalty towards each other and thus Negan later appointed Simon as his personal second-in-command. Their group eventually grew to contain well over 600 survivors.

Shortly after Negan took charge over the factory and appointed Simon as his right-hand man, he learned that previously Simon and his men had encountered a group of survivors and thus enslaved them and forced them to work under their rule. Eventually the group attempted to fight back but they were overwhelmed and defeated. As punishment for their defiance, Simon had every single male above the age of 10 exterminated; something that Negan did not approve of at all. The surviving female survivors later fled their settlement and disappeared to a new location. After Negan heard about Simon's orchestration of the massacre and despite being his most loyal follower, Negan kept a close eye on Simon since then due to his brutal nature, disobedience of certain orders and possibility of being a threat in the future because of what he is capable of.

Throughout the following months, Simon aided his leader in terrorizing other survivors and communities they encountered into subjugating to Negan's will; during where he committed several brutal atrocities in order to do so, including murdering innocent people, displaying gruesome acts to implement superiority and fear to other survivors, as well as orchestrating several raids and ambushes to whoever opposed them.

At some point after discovering the Hilltop Colony, they demanded half of their supplies in exchange for leaving the farming community unscathed, demonstrating their methods and bringing their intentions to light by executing Rory, a 16-year-old member of the colony. Roughly during the same period, the Saviors discovered another community known as the Kingdom where upon meeting with the community leader they demanded a portion of supplies to be produced in exchange for leaving the community unscathed.
