Simeon is a Blood Angel who served as the second-in-command of Captain Tycho's Company, when they were tasked with quarantining the Hive World Orilan.[1]
History
Though they were ordered to destroy any ships that escaped from Orilan, which had become corrupted by Daemons of Tzeentch, Simeon convinced Tycho to lead a squadron aboard one such ship, when the Inquisitor Ramius Stele contacted their Frigate and requested their aid. This was after a Daemon from the planet, had boarded the Inquisitor's ship and began mutating it. When Tycho's squadron later returned to the Blood Angels' Frigate with Stele and a small number of passengers from the corrupted ship, however, the Codicier Varon shouted that one of them had been infected by the Daemon. The warning came too late though, as the Daemon erupted from the passenger and killed Varon before beginning a massacre aboard the Frigate.[1]
Despite the Blood Angels' efforts to defeat the Daemon, it was able to survive their attacks and entered the Frigate's engine room. Upon discovering this, Tycho ordered Simeon to remain outside, as Captain led Inquisitor Stele and squadrons of Blood Angels into the engine room before sealing the entrance. Simeon later disobeyed Tycho's orders, after they had not returned, and found the site of a slaughter house, as his Brothers lay in pieces all over the engine room. All was not lost however, as Simeon later found the Inquisitor and the unconscious Captain. With no sign of the Daemon, Simeon realized the exhausted Inquisitor had used his powers to banish it and he joined the other surviving Blood Angels in praising Stele. After Tycho was tended to, the Blood Angels decided to bring Stele to their Fortress-Monastery on Baal, where the Inquisitor was granted a blood debt, which is a rare gesture of respect and trust amongst their Chapter. It was unknown to the Blood Angels present at the time, though, that this act would later set in motion a series of events, that would have dire consequences for them.[1]
