Simon - Dead Boy Detectives: Season One

A student studying at St. Hilarions School for Boys around the same time as Edwin Payne, Simon harboured a deep crush on Payne, which the latter struggled to acknowledge or reciprocate due to his own personal struggles around his sexuality and societal expectations. 

Feeling rejected, he turned his affection into anger and began tormenting his crush with pranks and nicknames to hide his attraction for Payne from their peers.

These cruel pranks culminated in Simon and his friends kidnapping Edwin, tying him up in the attic and proceeding to read out an invocation from a book he stole from his brother. He hoped he could frighten Payne, pretending to summon a demon so that he would have to notice him. However, he was unprepared for the ritual to succeed, bringing forth the demon, Sa'al.

Sa'al turned on those who summoned him, sending them all to Hell, before lastly taking Payne, the promised sacrifice. 

For the next 108 years, his soul would be tormented and punished in Hell, until an encounter with Edwin allowed them both to reconcile with their pasts and move on.
