Sir Simon

Sir Simon is a character that appears in several Ultima games. He is the lord of Bordermarch in Ultima V and of Serpent's Hold in Ultima VI.

In Ultima IV, Sir Simon could be found along with Lady Tessa in the armoury of the village of Paws. He had been entrusted by Zircon with securing the Mystic Armour, and had hidden it in the oak grove in Empath Abbey. He was waiting for an Avatar to show up before divulging the location of the armour. When the Avatar approached him, already eigth parts Avatar, Sir Simon revealed him the armour's location.

During the time of Ultima V, Sir Simon ruled over Bordermarch, a small island fortress designed to fight the tyranny of Lord Blackthorn. Sir Simon told the Avatar about the Crown Jewels, and the importance of retrieving them from the Underworld. He told the Avatar the importance of Lord British's Crown, and how the Sceptre of Lord British could dispel any barrier, even within the realm of the Shadowlords. He told the Avatar that his wife Lady Tessa knew of Lord British's Amulet.

Sir Simon was forced to flee Bordermarch's island after it sank beneath the ocean during a massive earthquake, following the events at the end of Ultima V. Along with his wife Lady Tessa, the two of them administer Serpent's Hold in Ultima VI.

Ultima V: Lazarus
In Ultima V: Lazarus, it is told that Sir Simon became the Lord Mayor of Trinsic shortly after the Quest of the Avatar. He remained in that office until Lord Blackthorn's Oppression began, when he defied Blackthorn and refused to follow his laws. Blackthorn besieged Trinsic, and eventually conquered it. Sir Simon had to flee to his fortress of Bordermarch.
