i think theres also the possibility that he considers Simon as an easily "deleted" piece on the boeard (by violent or diplomatic means), so placing him into positions thats currently filled by more troublesome towerwalkers, or position that are bound to give rise to new ones, he can reduce the danger for whatever his endgame is. (say the sage is uncooperative, but just killing him would mean a new one would eventuall take his place. by setting up simon for the role, he have all bases covered until he decides to pull teh trigger on simon too. same with kanfur and possibly esthera)
