The Child Simon is described as a symbol as a paragon of morality in First Generation Maradisoba. Child Simon is only mentioned in the Solomonite Accounts within the Account of K'anaman Children. Within the story, 250 K'anaman Children wander outside the K'anama Assembly after what all of them described to Solomon the Wise as a Divination. During their journey to Serenope, the Child Simon is considered to be their leader and as a paragon of light and morality. He is however, killed by an animal and impaled with an antler. The first consequence is an Endless night causing total darkness. The 250 children afterwards fall to depravity and barbarism. Afterwards the Child Simon ascends and ends the endless night. He leads them to Asatiani where the 250 children find Solomon the Wise. They confess their transgressions and their violations, and Solomon the Wise forgives them all.
There is much debate to the accuracy of the Child Simon, and his existence was debated by Second Generation Maradisoba. The Account of K'anaman Children is considered not to be Holy Text. Child Simon does not appear in any other Holy Texts and is only considered a minor figure as he never mentioned in any other text that was written by First Generation Maradisoba. Despite not being portrayed in historical texts, the Child Simon has been portrayed in both First and Second Generation Maradisoba in art, including statues and paintings. The Child Simon is depicted as a tall yet young boy with open buckteeth. His clothing mainly consists of Akannite Traveler Garbs, however after his ascension, his garb is depicted as Maradisoban Holy Robes.
The Child Simon is not related to any other figures.
