[edit] Caprica
Simon is a tall, slender black male with closely cropped or balding hair. He first appears posing as a human physician treating Kara Thrace (Starbuck) for ballistic trauma in what was supposedly a hospital on Caprica. In reality, he was also performing invasive medical tests on her reproductive organs. After Starbuck begins to suspect Simon's true nature and kills him, she escapes from the facility, her fears confirmed when a second copy of the model greets her on her way.[1] At least one other copy is seen on Cylon-occupied Caprica.[2]
[edit] New Caprica
A Simon is present in President Gaius Baltar's office during the Battle of New Caprica[3]. One Simon, assigned as part of one Basestar's command crew that witnesses a sister Basestar's plight, determines that a decision to rescue the infected Basestar cannot be reached scientifically.[4] A Simon captured from that selfsame infected Basestar near the Lion's Head Nebula is interrogated on Galactica. He reveals information about the ship and the Cylons' motives for abandoning it, in exchange for a cure promised by the humans. However, there is no cure, only a treatment. It was thought that this Simon was killed when Karl Agathon sabotages the environmental control system, killing the Cylon prisoners to stop them from being used as biological weapons.[5].
[edit] Number Four's role
Simon returns when a Number Three model talks to Baltar in the The Passage, after consulting with Simon about the Cylons' next move towards Earth.
Of the original seven disclosed humanoid Cylons, Simon is the only model that has not been used as infiltration within the fleet. Simon also speaks calmly and clearly, and seems to use logic to solve his problems and make decisions.
