Physical Description: Father Simon is a scrawny, yet handsome gentleman with an easy smile. He dresses in simple priest's robes and is rarely seen without his props for his one-man miracle plays and assorted "relics".
Languages spoken: Romani, Greek, Latin, Persian, German, Norse
He has recently dropped the nom de guerre, and is currently travelling under his given name, Arben. He dropped his grudge against all of Christendom after befriending Gregory and learning that not all Christians are all that bad. He now works as a cultural atache of Chrysopolis and owner/manager of The Governor's Mansion Inn.
Self proclaimed leader of the Danger Gang.
When he was just a boy, Arben's gypsy caravan left northern India, as was their habit at the time. He was always a scrawny boy, but his knack for storytelling and con artistry won him a valuable place in the camp. As they traveled west past Persia, they were attacked by a cadre of Christian knights. Drunk on sacramental wine, they slaughtered the caravan. Arben threw himself on their mercy, pledging allegiance to their strange god, Jesus. In need of a squire, they dragged him to their home in Northern Europe, having him do a great deal of heavy lifting for which he was very ill-suited. He picked up bits and pieces of their religion, but then decided to cut out. He snuck away one night. He tried to live in the wild briefly, but found that it involved a lot of work. He instead decided that he could make a living for himself, and get some measure of revenge against Christendom by posing as a priest and putting on one man shows about Saint Simon, a saint he made up. Missing sunnier climes, he meandered down to the Mediteranean, where he eventually joined up with Danger Gang.
Recently had a leg bit off by Barnacle Bashim.
