Simon appears unremarkable, at least in his native land of Zakhara. Messy black hair, hangs past his shoulders, framing deeply inset dark brown eyes, set in a russet-brown face. In the lands north of his home he blends in when in large cities but not as much in less urban areas. His average height and weight also help him blend with others. In a word, Simon's appearance is non-descript.

The time he has spent away from his homeland has also dulled his accent, especially when he is speaking the Common language. In times of great stress or when speaking his native tongue of Midani, his accent becomes much more apparent.

Simon's travels have seen him give up his native aba and keffiyeh for the rugged tunics and breeches and high leather boots common to merchants and travellers throughout the north. As a precaution, he has taken to wearing light armour when the need arises.

Simon was born to a merchant's family and is not schooled in the ways of a warrior, but as with any prudent merchant he learned to defend himself and his wares with simple weapons. Two daggers from his homeland on his belt, and he carries a staff which is used far more often as a walking stick and fishing pole than a weapon.
