He lived for over a hundred years, and watched as Lord of the Sith.
Simus was eventually killed by his apprentice, after witnessing Sadow sabotage a Sith prison and release two prisoners from Koros who had stumbled upon the Empire, in an attempt to frame the attack on the Republic. Simus asked his apprentice what was happening, but he never got an answer. Sadow killed the dismembered Lord with a Republic issue blaster. The other Sith on the Council, oblivious to the actions of Sadow, deeply mourned old Simus’s death.
Simus was created by comic series. He was penciled by Dario Carrasco, Jr. and colored by Perry McNamee for the comic.
Biography
Simus was born some several centuries before the Great Marka Ragnos was the challenger. A Sith hybrid of immense physical strength, Ragnos became infamous through a series of short, ruthless campaigns against any and all who stood in his way of his efforts to gain power. Ragnos and Simus eventually dueled each other for the right to rule the Sith Empire and for the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. Simus lost the duel: Ragnos cut him down, and he was left scarred and headless. Yet Simus did not give up. Using ancient Sith techniques, he kept himself alive, preserving his head in a specialized crystalline container. The bulky container was made of metal, with transparent orange material around Simus’s head, allowing him to see those that he spoke with, while they could some his gruesome, dismembered head. A massive Sith servant, armed to the teeth, accompanied Simus everywhere he went, and carried his jar when he needed to move somewhere else.
Sith Council
Simus was eventually offered a place on the Sith Council, alongside such other as Jori and Gav Daragon, had inadvertently landed on the mausoleum planet after typing in random co-ordinates. Fearing that this was the possible attack from the Republic that Ragnos warned about, the Sith Council had them immediately imprisoned and called a Council meeting.
Death
The dozen or so of the Sith Council, including Simus, Humans were spies, sent by the Republic, and if they allowed them to escape, they would return with their forces to plunder all that the Sith had worked hard to build. Kressh and his conservative faction were of the opinion that they should kill the two explorers and remove all evidence that they were ever on the planet. Simus, however, boldly Kressh that he was speaking from fear, and was not thinking about the situation, which could have ended up dire. Simus then told them that this was an oppurtunity—one they should consider before destroying it forever. Sadow was quick to side with his old master, and told Kressh that he was not adapting his thinking to the adapting world they lived in‐that he was still living in the past, in the times of Marka Ragnos, and that he was afraid of change.

Yet Kressh persisted, saying that if Simus was wrong, they would lose everything, while if Kressh was wrong, they would lose but the lives of two worthless Humans as soon as possible; they would talk about what they would do to the ship at the next meeting. Simus was tasked with telling the two youths of their fate, and accompanied by his loyal bodyguard, he traveled to their cell on cold Ziost. The guard lifted his container up to the bars of the tiny cell and Simus told them what would happen, and why. Gav protested, telling him they hadn’t even given evidence, but Simus replied that their information was irrelevant to the Council.
However, Sadow was determined to see out his plan, and behind the other Councilor’s backs he had a tracer placed in the Daragon’s ship. He even kept his plan secret from Simus, as if it was to work, no-one could get in the way. Using a Republic blaster found on the Starbreaker 12, Sadow and his loyal Massassi raided the cell block where Jori and Gav were imprisoned on Ziost, killing anyone who got in the way. After routing all who opposed them, Sadow’s Massassi escaped with Jori and Gav, whom Sadow had become allies with. As Sadow stood alone in the corridor, surrounded by corpses, Simus and his slave arrived. The beheaded Sith was concerned for Sadow’s well being, believing, like the other Councilors would in time, that it had been a Republic raid. Sadow turned towards his master, and told him he was sorry. He then fired at Simus and the slave with the blaster, killing the old Sith.

Legacy
Simus’s head was eventually found by the Council, who mourned Simus’s death, angry that someone would kill such a helpless opponent. They declared the “Republic agents” monsters for having slain old Simus, whom they all had great respect for, even those who did not his ideas. Sadow then burst in, pretending to be oblivious to the goings on. The ancient Sith’s eulogy was a speech delivered by Naga Sadow over Simus’s wisdom and nobility. Ironically, Simus’s death sparked the same opportunities he had ed. Sadow eventually defeated Kressh, and allowed Jori to escape back to the Republic with the tracker in place. Sadow waged a devastating the Sith Empire, and for one thousand years the Sith would cease to exist, until Marka Ragnos’s spirit once again materialized.
