Biography
Saymon was one of the Lost, six Auronar who were exiled from their planet and settled on an uninhabited one. Saymon was the last survivor, whose body housed the minds of all six. By the time the Liberator visited the planet, Saymon was reduced to a small body encased in a life support system. He had created two artificial people, Geela and Novarra, who he controlled mentally. He had also created a slave race, the Decimas, but they rebelled and ran amok in the compound outside his laboratory. His power cells were depleted, threatening his life support system.

When the Liberator came within range, Saymon gained mental control of Cally and had her pilot the ship into the web surrounding the planet, trapping it. He then communicated through Jenna to invite the crew to the surface. Blake teleported down and was met by Geela and Novarra, who explained the situation. On learning they would be able to free the Liberator from the web if the power cells were replaced, Blake instructed his crew to prepare some. He was then taken to Saymon but was horrified on learning that, once they had full power, Saymon and the others planned to wipe out the Decimas with a toxin.

Blake was forced to hand over the power cells but before Saymon's people could take any further action, the Decimas attacked the compound. In the confusion, Blake and Avon managed to free the Liberator and then teleport to safety. Having already killed Geela and Novarra and trashed the laboratory, the Decimas finally killed Saymon by destroying his life support system.
