Simon Rodloom

Simon Rodloom is a member of the now powerless Mephius council. He even surrendered the western fortress city that made up the heart of the Rodloom family's territory to another noble, in exchange for becoming the council president twelve years ago. Hence, as he currently had no territory to govern and no soldiers to command, so he became a noble from a distinguished family in name only.

He is now retired from the position of president and is instead acting as a retainer for Gil Mephius. He has done his best to advise Gil and shape him into a future ruler, though he was not making much progress. There are some Nobles that have already lost all confidence in Prince Gil's ability and are already working towards an anti-Imperial future. At one point, Fedom Aulin even approaches Simon to try and determine his stance, but Simon does not waver.

While at Seirin Valley, Simon noticed the strange way that Fedom and Gil were acting. He was suspicious as to why two people that barley talked to each other before would suddenly become close and had decided to question the Prince about it later. Even when, after the assassination attempt by the Garberan general Ryucown and the order from Guhl Mephius for Gil to lead a campaign against him, Fedom continued to stay at the Prince's side even as they traveled to Idoro. Not only was this strange behavior on both their parts, but Simon learned that the Prince actual fought and ordered the troops during that attack. Though Simon was unclear about what was going on, he knew that something strange had happened to the Gil he knew.
