Rudolph Steiner.
Simon was a streetkid when he got picked up by a member of the Twin Serpent crew - violence being a necessity to survival was a learned way of life by this point already. He was a quite tense and prickly fella initially but gradually eased up - Still, he's not very good at getting a read on people, so while he learned to enjoy himself during his time with them, he never fully figured out how to let his walls down. We are after all dealing with a high deception / low insight-type idiot after all
