Simon d'Argent

Simon d'Argent is the mentor-figure in Tales of the Century, at least for the first few chronicled adventures. He is said to be a wizard, though his workings are never shown "on-screen."

Simon serves as foil for Io in the novels where he appears, and as a mentor for The P.I. in Rock Bottom.

He knows things about people, places and events that perhaps he should not. He isn't above using firearms and force to get his work done, but generally prefers to work behind the scenes and manipulate events.

Simon is a tall man, broad through the shoulders, but not too heavy. His hair is white, as is his beard. He has been an agent of The Century, but is not currently an active member.

The author's dream casting for Simon is David Morse.
