Simon of Whitby

Simon of Whitby was a Ventrue who lived in the Fief of York during the 13th century.

Biography

Embraced at the turn of the 12th century, Simon is the younger childer of Olivier. (Thus, Aimery is his "sibling".)^[1]

Some time in 1220s his sire Olivier was "called to London" after openly opposing Mithras, and Simon ascended to power in Whitby at Aimery's behest. Aimery has practically abandoned his blood brother to his opponents in Whitby and focused his attention on John's court. Mithras' agents and other forces conspire to undermine Simon's influence in Whitby, and he is forced to rely upon John's patronage time and again.

Simon first met John in the nights before Julian Cerialis' Final Death, and became involved in schemes he did not fully understand. Simon's involvement in Julian's betrayal would have gained him many enemies, but the newly installed Baron of York managed to conceal Simon's involvement.
