“	It occurs to me that I've not yet received the full definition of an apology. I feel like I've gotten some transgressional acknowledgment, the guns certainly cover restitution. But what I'm not yet feeling... Is the remorse. (...) SAY IT AGAIN! (...) Ohhh. No, no, no. [laughs] Ohh! Ah. I don't think you mean that!... Light it up, gents. LIGHT IT UP NOW!	„
	~ Simon ordering the massacre of Jadis' group.

Simon is a major antagonist in the AMC television series The Walking Dead, based on the 2003 comic series of the same name. He was a high-ranking member of the Saviors and the right-hand man of their tyrannical founder, Negan.

He was portrayed by Steven Ogg.

What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?

• Despite only being a secondary antagonist in Seasons 7 and 8, many fans of The Walking Dead found Simon to be much more threatening than Negan due to Steven Ogg's charismatic portrayal.
  • Many have also found how Ogg based Simon on Trevor Phillips (one of his most iconic roles) from Grand Theft Auto V as a reference to be a very clever choice.
• He is filled to the brim with evil is cool moments that allow him to have a strange charm to him.
• Simon ordering his men to kill the Scavengers, as horrific as it is, didn't hurt his popularity because of how unpopular the Scavengers were in the eyes of the audience.
• He has plenty of comedic moments that let him be evil, while still entertaining.

Trivia
