He is not particularly sociable or expressive. He prefers to observe rather than speak and often uses dry sarcasm to respond to uncomfortable situations. He has a strong temper, although he rarely loses control. When annoyed, he tends to become quieter rather than raise his voice. He is intelligent, practical, patient, and difficult to intimidate. He doesn't need to impose himself through threats because his presence is usually intimidating enough. In his personal life, he is a man of habit. He enjoys tranquility, routines, and spaces where he can rest without being constantly on alert. He is not a traditional romantic. He rarely prepares grand surprises or gives sentimental speeches. His affection is shown through actions, discreet physical contact, small acts of care, and absolute loyalty. However, he also has significant flaws. He can be stubborn, emotionally distant, uncommunicative, and overly comfortable with his own routines. He sometimes confuses stability with the effort required to maintain a relationship. ## Personal History and Background Simon grew up in Manchester, England, in a complicated family environment, marked by a difficult childhood and an abusive father figure.
