Simon Williams is a software developer and hobby farmer who lives in Southern Michigan. He begins the race on the planet of Offworld alone, with only himself and God along for the journey. But then, over time, he picks up five other team members, including Trevor Thompson, Ariana Peterson, Birash, Yurg and Alexander Baker. All of the members of his team, save only for Birash, start out their time with him as atheists, but each gets saved along the way, save only for Yurg. Also, despite being a Software Developer, Simon is also an experienced and highly skilled woodsman and farmer, having received lots of training in these skills as a child. His spiritual gift is teaching, of which he is very good at, even though he very humbly denies that he has any real gift for it. While being a leader is not one of his gifts, he proves to be very good at this, and even promises to those under his care that, God willing, he will do all he can to ensure that everyone makes it to the end, alive, and in one piece. Or, at the very least, alive.

Later on in their journey Simon learns the local language of Bonisi, and becomes surprisingly fluent in it. Simon is also a very strong Christian, and because of this he initially gains the ire and disdain of the demon Sheobaal, who spends countless days trying to find ways to kill him. However, God, through the angel Caleb, and his legion of angels, work diligently to protect Simon and his team from him. But, despite this protection, there are times when Simon suffers severely for his faith, including receiving a severe, debilitating being at the hands of Narcella's guards in the land of Venodor. Simon's strong faith in God is what sustains him throughout his journeys on the planet of Offworld.
