Simon Iliescu

Simon Iliescu is the elder son of a former burgomaster of Covasna. He is a pleasant and upstanding man who always tries to have an optimistic attitude despite the realities of the horror he lives in, but even he has difficulty maintaining a cheery face around so much misery. Though he is generally even-tempered, kind and intelligent, he harbors a burning hatred for Lord Ardelian and his dolls and struggles to maintain composure around them; his violent impulses are held in check only by the knowledge that his sword skills are not enough to survive against such creatures. He is relatively tall and narrow, with the pale skin and black hair that Covasnans share.
Extremely protective of his younger brother Aurel, there is little that Simon would not risk or sacrifice to keep Aurel safe.
Despite being reasonable and level-headed, Simon is not particularly liked around Covasna for his chipper attitude; people find his 'whimsy' off-putting and senseless, and write him off as a joke or a child despite his skills.
Simon's name is pronounced "See-moan"; he was mocked a lot as a boy for having a girl's name.
