Early life
Simon Lewis was born into a Jewish family in New York. He is the second and youngest child of Elaine and her late husband Levi and was born after his older sister, Rebecca. When he was six, he met Clary Fray and the pair became inseparable best friends. He soon developed romantic feelings for her and pined for her for the next ten years without voicing affections. Simon was also the bassist of the band he had formed with his friends in their sophomore year: Eric, Matt, Kirk, and, later, Jordan.
Shadow World
Simon had long been planning to tell Clary how he felt for her but never quite found the right moment. One night, at the Pandemonium Club, things turned for the worse when Clary claimed to see people he couldn't; one of them being particularly interested in Clary. When Clary's mother disappeared and the Shadowhunters finally revealed themselves, both were thrown into the strange Shadow World. Days after the Frays disappeared, Simon went to Luke, who claimed that they were staying with a sick relative upstate. Simon, however, knew that they had no relatives and decided to investigate. When he saw that Luke was packing weapons, he stuck around and ended up being seen by Clary and Jace Wayland—one of the men at the Pandemonium that he didn't see. Clary decided to tell Simon about the Shadow World, and he and Jace immediately began getting on each other's nerves. After breaking into Luke's house and finding him speaking to men Jace recognized as the people who killed his father, they all went to the New York Institute. He was introduced to Isabelle Lightwood, whom Simon showed interest in with hopes of making Clary jealous.

Over dinner Simon also met Hodge Starkweather and Alec Lightwood. The next morning, after Clary and Jace met with the Silent Brothers, the gang met for breakfast at Taki's, including Simon who had shown up at the Institute. After this, Simon and Isabelle went to Central Park to see the faerie circles. After meeting the others, Simon got his first taste of the Downworld at a party thrown by Magnus Bane which they attended seeking answers for Clary. After drinking a blue drink, while with Isabelle, Simon turned into a rat and was taken by a vampire, thinking he was one of theirs. Jace and Clary broke into the vampire's lair, Hotel Dumort, to save Simon. While fighting with the vampires, the Werewolves also broke into the hotel looking for Clary. During the raid to save him from the vampires, Simon bit Raphael Santiago, a vampire, unwillingly making him a fledgling. Jace, Clary, and Simon returned to the Institute, where a furious Hodge was waiting for them. He lectured them on their actions and ended up tending to their injuries. Simon soon learned of Clary's growing affection for Jace. After a heated argument with her, Simon finally told her how he felt and left before she could respond. When Clary needed his help afterward, though, he still obliged, borrowing his friend Eric's van and drove them to Madame Dorothea. He also saved the Shadowhunters from the Greater Demon Abbadon, the demon of the Abyss, by shooting one of Alec's arrows at the skylight and letting the sunlight chase it away. When Simon and the gang were lead to believe that Clary and Jace were siblings, Simon finally attempted to form a romantic relationship with Clary. By this time, Simon constantly felt sick and soon concluded that he might be changing into a vampire. After the Seelie Queen made Clary and Jace kiss, Simon, subconsciously and full of anger, went to the Hotel Dumort and was bitten and nearly killed by vampires clan, but was saved by their then leader, Raphael. He took what was left of Simon to the Institute and passed to Clary, Jace, and Isabelle the option to either let Simon die or have him resurrected as a vampire. Clary decided it would be best to bury him in a Jewish cemetery and let him rise as a vampire. Simon had just been Turned into a vampire when he was kidnapped by Valentine Morgenstern and taken to his ship along with Maia for the ritual of Infernal Conversion. Valentine drained him of his blood, but not enough to kill him. He was found by Jace, who ultimately gave him his blood, unwillingly giving Simon the ability to walk in the sun, earning him his title "Daylighter".
Imprisoned in Idris
After Valentine disappeared once again, Jace asked Simon to meet him at the Institute. While there, the Institute was attacked by Forsaken. Simon was injured, so Jace brought him along through the Portal and into Alicante with them. The Lightwoods were led to believe that Simon would be sent back to New York, but instead, he was locked up by Inquisitor Aldertree at the Gard when he refused to lie for him, against the Lightwoods. Aldertree used Jewish religious symbols to hold Simon prisoner by carving them into the cell bars and walls. While imprisoned he commiserated with his neighbor in the cell next to his, who called himself Samuel Blackburn. Samuel told Simon that the name "Daylighter" was a Downworlder word and that there were legends about it. During his stretch in prison, Isabelle brought Simon bottles of cow's blood to tide him over whilst they plotted an escape plan. She left notes with the bottles scrawling numerous 'XOa's underneath her messages. These small shows of affection did not go unnoticed by the daylighter. Raphael appeared in Simon's cell as a projection and told him that he was a valuable commodity now and Downworlders wanted to get their hands on him, however to Raphael, he was an abomination and a danger to vampire kind for being able to walk in sunlight. He told Simon that when he would be set free if he disappeared and hid he would not harm him. Simons refused Raphael's offer. After Valentine had sent demons to attack Alicante, Jace, Clary, and Alec freed Simon and Samuel, who turned out to be Hodge Starkweather. Jace and Alec confronted Hodge. While he confessed to Valentine's plan, "Sebastian" killed Hodge. They realized that Sebastian was a spy for Valentine and a fight ensued where Sebastian proved to be stronger than all of them. Simon bit him during the fight and commented that Sebastian's blood tasted like poison.
Before their lives being changed by the Shadow World, Simon was an open geek and the bass player of a garage band. He was described as cute but doesn't even realize it. He had been a vegetarian since he was 10 years old. He also often quoted different "nerdy" things, like Dungeons and Dragons. He can be sarcastic and describes himself as witty and ironic.
Simon has demonstrated that he can be courageous, brave, and loyal. Simon is willing to sacrifice his life to save those he loves.
Simon struggled with accepting that he was undead during his time as a vampire. He often chose to not feed, holding it off as long as he could. He also worried about life after his friends were gone, finding the prospect of remaining sixteen forever while his loved ones aged and died daunting. Despite this, he did not associate with other vampires much, favoring the continued company of his mortal friends instead of other fellow-immortal vampires. When he gained the ability to walk in daylight, he tried to lead a normal life.
As a Shadowhunter, Simon initially struggled with not being invulnerable and the risks they constantly took. Being aware of his own mortality, and his friends', after George's death, Simon became extremely cautious and pessimistic. He was eventually able to overcome this and soon return to the jovial attitude his friends expect of him. Aside from this, Simon seemed to adapt to life as a Shadowhunter fairly easily; his reflexes became sharper and he was a good fighter, capable of holding his own alongside the others. He became somewhat excited in the face of demons and, at one point, he even felt strangely naked having only one weapon on him, showing he was truly settling into the Shadowhunter ways.
Simon is said to be good-looking with dark brown hair and eyes, and beautiful eyelashes. He used to have a gangling figure but has since grown to become a bit more fit with broad shoulders.
Simon wears glasses and often wore casual clothes, with characteristic word shirts. When he began dating Isabelle, he became slightly more fashionable—wearing leather jackets instead of hoodies and designer boots instead of sneakers.
•One faerie ring: Simon owned a faerie ring for a month, keeping it even after the ring lost its functional magic. Before he lost his memories and immortality, however, he returned the ring to Clary.
•Jordan's Praetor pendant: Simon has Jordan's Praetor pendant, which was given to him by Luke after the former's death. He hangs it around his neck along with a Star of David.
•Raphael's coin: A copper coin etched with a wreath, which symbolized education in the ancient world. Raphael sent it to Ragnor for luck, believing it had been charmed as such by a faerie, in reforming the Shadowhunters. After Ragnor's death, Catarina kept the coin before passing it onto Magnus who, in turn, gave the coin to Simon who hopes to slowly reinvent Shadowhunters through influence.
