Description of Simon Pearson:

The gang's butcher and camp cook, Pearson served a short stint in the navy that he likes to talk about at length. His father and grandfather were both whale hunters and he was going to follow in their footsteps but, by the time he left school, nobody wanted whale oil any more. He came out west and got in some bad trouble with some men who were shaking him down for money. Dutch found him at his wit's end and took him under his wing. He is a loud, jolly degenerate who puts on a brave face, but is somewhat in denial about the turn his life has taken.
