I am waiting on a character sheet from Cobwebbed Dragon
You're waiting for me? How embarrassing... Easily remedied
My trusty generator spat out the following:

Equipment: Simon doesn't have the two potions as part of his starting equipment, as he is self-taught, but he does have a copy of the key to the restricted wing of the library (arguably more valuable!) This key is a strange affair - having "borrowed" the master key from the head librarian (an adventure in itself, and perhaps the topic for side-post sometime), Rowan made a duplicate consisting of small bones, talons, and other animal parts bound tightly in thick wire and strong glue and is how Simon gets access to the forbidden archives after dark. Simon also prefers the shortsword to a staff, although only ever carries it if he's out at night (it isn't allowed in the library anyway) - not that Simon has ever been in a proper fight or knows how to use it.
Spells: As mentioned previously, Simon has learned the
Bedevil spell in lieu of
Dragonbreath.
In terms of background, because we seem to be overwhelmed with orphans, I propose the following tweak to Simon's:
Simon was raised as the son of a sheep farmer in Willowmere, a village a little south of the Vindar Hills (between Bridgewater and Bearhurst). Clearly gifted and showing no aptitude for farming (or outdoor life generally), Simon left his family at age 11 when a group of pilgrims passed through his village, returning to Ongus from Ostelin Abbey. Simon endeared himself to one of the pilgrims, who found him work at the library on their arrival at Ongus. In addition to scribing at the library, his penmanship and artistry have made him a few coins on the side forging documents for some less reputable characters with whom he and Rowan sometimes associate.
Simon's three years at the library and his exceptional intelligence has been kind to his linguistic skills, being able to speak Bacchile and Elleslandic fluently, and is of an intermediate level in Visic, Algandarve, and Beaulangue. Simon's real gift, however, is for written languages, able to read High Cabbandari (learned through his "extra-curricular" scribing...), Lughwyd, Ancient and Modern Emphidian, Opalarian, and Nascerine. The docks have been a great place to practise his language skills (and pick up some extra work forging ship manifests and letters of marque...), where Simon can sometimes be found in his off hours.
If you're happy with all of that, I can merge it into what I wrote previously about Simon (sans the orphan bit).
