Simon Von Hagens

Simon is the Dead Disposal Driver for HartLife. He is voiced by Mark Soloff.

Season Two
Simon finds Herbert West outside the Tower. He is wary, as usually nobody comes to or leaves HartLife, and asks him a few questions to see if Herbert is a Woken. When Herbert passes the test, Simon lets him into his tractor and takes him back towards HartLife with him. Simon explains what Woken are and is surprised that Herbert believes him.

Later Sandy helps Loamy with loading corpses onto the Dead Disposal Truck and Simon tells them to tie the corpses down "good and tight". When Sandy and Loamy are talking about the Woken, Simon confirms that they exist, naturally.

During Elizabeth's Woken rampage, Simon briefly fights her before she runs off due to a tremor in the earth. As Simon asks if everyone is okay, the tunnel collapses. Because the mutilated corpses of the Science Faire members get buried, others assume it was a regular tunnel collapse and don't believe Simon's claims about the Woken.

Season Three
Neal Henderson and Loamy meet Simon at the coffee trolley to ask him if he's seen Alison's corpse. He says he hasn't, but adds that the Lightning Riggers take care of their own dead, so if she died there he wouldn't have seen her. Meanwhile he realizes that the tee Loamy served him was laced with arsenic and he and Neal, who tried it as well and confirmed Simon's suspicion, vomit it out again. Simon suspects the cart was poisoned either to kill him, in an attempt by the Company to cover up the Woken disaster, or to kill Neal. When Neal announces that he'll be heading out to the Lightning Rigs, Loamy asks Simon to give Neal back his raccoon skin, which he had been using in the meantime. After Neal is gone, Nathan comes out of his hiding spot and asks Simon why he didn't buy Neal a drink, to which he replies that Neal didn't want anything. After Nathan is gone as well, Andrew apologizes to Simon for having to leave as well, which annoys Simon as he thought they had some business to do.

Simon is unconscious in his truck and gets woken up by Elizabeth and Andrew. He vomits and later also realizes that his vision is impaired due to the arsenic. He agrees to help Elizabeth and Andrew get to the Lightning Rigs, as he can barely see and Elizabeth can drive. After a few hours of driving, they realize they've been driving in the wrong direction. Simon wants to turn back, as they could run out of fuel. Before he can finish his argument with Elizabeth, they crash the truck into the building at the bottom of the Ghost Rig.

As Andrew and Elizabeth try and fail to pick the lock, Simon yells comments at them about how they're doing it wrong. He refuses to leave his truck however, as the building was not on his map, and therefore does not exist and might disappear with them inside it. When Elizabeth breaks down the door with her Woken-strength, Simon realizes she is a Woken. He drives off, yelling that he has to warn people about the Woken being smart now.
