Over the course of the series, Simon gradually loses faith in Negan as a leader and openly criticizes his system of dealing with other communities, seeing it as ineffective and useless as they keep fighting back against the Saviors' tyranny. As such, it is evident that his temper has heavily contributed to his cruel actions, especially with his action taken against the Scavengers and barely holds back his rage after unexpectedly killing Neil in front of Maggie. In addition to his dangerous presence and ruthless methods, Simon is shown to have a short temper, first seen when he lashes out at Gregory for failing to convince the Hilltoppers to surrender to Negan. Negan even goes as far as to admit from his perspective that Simon is "a demented, broken, god damned ghoul", making it clear that he is has been extremely wary of keeping Simon around as his right-hand man. This is first apparent when Negan scolds Simon for suggesting that they raid the Hilltop during their meeting for the upcoming war. This behavior appears to have clashed with Negan's ideology multiple times, who is more willing to kill at least one or a few people as a punishment to drive other communities into submission, as well as seeing that needlessly killing people is a waste of resources. It is known that Simon is solely responsible for the massacre of the Scavengers, the library survivors and all of the male residents from Oceanside. He is generally much more willing to resort to mass murder to achieve the Saviors' means of survival, which has resulted in hundreds of people from different communities dying by his hands. Unlike Negan, Simon is much more destructive and bloodthirsty, and he appears to completely lack remorse. However, in spite of being an intelligent and dangerously effective right-hand man, Simon is in many ways a reckless and ambitious individual. As such, he was highly valued by Negan as a right-hand man, which was proven in the first episode he appeared in, where he single-handedly managed to divert Rick and his group into a trap through cleverly placed roadblocks preventing them from escorting a pregnant Maggie to the Hilltop, where he finally intimidates Rick into submission ready for extortion. Initially, he appeared to be completely loyal to Negan. Much like Negan, he is shown to be very charismatic and intelligent to a fault.
