**Simon Thaddeus Reginald Marks** is a British Whitelighter-Witch from the Marks line of witches, a self-described "noble and very powerful witch family". The Marks family worked closely with Melinda Warren and Liliana Anderson during the Salem Witch trials.

According to his family's scroll, Simon sought out oracles and soothsayers to help him find his destiny and place in the world. This led him to Halliwell Manor in San Francisco to the foot of Penelope Anderson.

## History

Simon arrived at the manor convinced that he and Penelope were meant to wed. According to him, this was claimed by forty oracles and soothsayers, and some wizards. Also, thinking that if they were to wed, their offspring would be very powerful. Penelope refused, telling him she already had a husband. Simon then tried everything to convince her to leave "Cody", as he thought that a half-demon wouldn't fully understand good magic.

Simon tracked down Cole at his work and tried to convince him that he was a liability to Penelope, since her fear of him getting hurt by a magical attack would make it impossible for her to be truly honest with him. When Cole told Simon that *he* was Penelope's husband and he wasn't going to back down, Simon challenged him to a duel. However, Simon unfairly used magic in the duel.

After the duel, Cole tells Simon that he truly loves Penelope and notices the little parts of her personality that Simon wouldn't, since he is only concerned about being the "Ultimate Power Couple". When Simon began to protest, Cole punched him and Penelope later orbed Simon away.

## Notes and Trivia

* Phoebe referred to him as "the Brit".
* Simon's orbing abilities had a more watery effect than usual, presumably due to him being a Hybrid.
* While it was previously believed that Paige was the first Whitelighter-Witch, Simon was revealed to be a year older than her. Since a relationship between a witch and a Whitelighter was still forbidden by the Elders, the details around his birth are unclear.
	+ Since his father went by the name Marks, his mother was most likely the Whitelighter.
* According to the family scroll, Simon is the oldest of his siblings.
