Simon Castillo

Simon Castillo is one of the crew members in The Long Journey Home.

Description
Mr. Castillo is Vice President of Commercial Development for the Schiaparelli Mining Group, IASA's largest private sector partner and the second largest corporation of the Sol system. Their money financed the research and construction of the Daedalus test ship. Mr. Castillo has decided that he should be personally to see what billions of dollars buys in this new space age, as well as organise any immediate exploitation of assets.

Background
Simon Castillo is one of the richest men on Earth and main sponsor of the Deadalus-7 mission. With Schiaparelli he already traveled to Mars several times and has experience in leading projects. His shift plans and a relic from Mars can be found in the ship. His sometimes a bit cynic manners hide, that Simon is actually pretty diplomatic, when it comes to negotiate the best conditions for his companies employees.

Despite his sometimes reckless and arrogant behavior, he shows a lot of empathy to the crew and supports Alessandra on the journey. He accompanies her while she sends letters 'home' through the airlock. Yet, he has no remorse for aliens and only cares for humanity.

He engages in diplomacy along the journey and lays out future business plans and diplomatic missions to enhance or repair foreign relations. He seems especially fond of the Glukkts enterprise and wishes no bad relationships upon humanity.
