INFORMATION
-
Brought up on a
wealthy core planet, Osiris, with his sister River and family, the Tam
family was a wealthy one. Simon was known to be gifted and very
intelligent from a young age. The only profession it seemed he should go
into was medicine, and that's exactly what he did. He was heading to be
one of the best paid surgeons on Osiris working at the hospital called
AMI, but he gave it all up. All for the safety of his sister, River. He
had suspicions that River was in trouble in the boarding school she was
at. When Simon tried to tell his parents about his fears, they didn't
want to have any of it, thinking that he was just being too protective
or missing his sister altogether. He successfully deciphered coded
messages she sent to him and then went to try and rescue her. He
successfully got her out. She was frozen, cryogenically, and then he
brought her aboard Serenity at Eavesdown Docks on Persephone,
when he first boarded the ship. It was revealed that Simon had brought
his sister aboard, and with that came the Alliance. They seemed to be
after River and Simon, which didn't please Mal at all, though grudgingly
Mal welcomed Simon as part of the crew. After all a ship needs a medic
and that's what Simon was there to be... as long as he could keep his
sister in check.
