He is like this for one simple reason: He was born into the Syndicate and the Technocracy more broadly, and it's all he has ever known. In fact, not just ANY Syndicate family: His family can trace its roots back to the days of the High Guild. This has been both a blessing and a curse, to him; while he won't lie when he says he enjoys the benefits of being royalty in all but name in the Convention of Cash, he's also developed a complex about it. The hyper-capitalist ideology of Syndicate demands that someone be able to rise or fall on their own merits, and he's perfectly aware that his ‘real’ last name has opened so many doors for him without any effort on his part.

Simon also enjoys the simpler things in life. While he always has a stock ticker running in the background, he's an avid follower of professional sports, and dreams of one day owning his own professional sports team. He loves old movies and old television shows, particularly old British shows like Poirot and the older seasons of Dr. Who. He's a connoisseur of artisanal coffee beans, importing coffee from all over the world and never settling for a store brand.
