Jonas Simbacca is the present leader of the Pirate clans and is a truly ruthless leader and fighter. It has been suggested that he obtained his rank and position with in the Pirate clans by being stronger, tougher and smarter then his opposition. Like all Pirates, Simbacca is descended from Terran convicts who were brought to Tethys as slave labor. Because of this history he is initially distrustful of the Exo-fleet when Marsh asks him to join in their fight against Phaeton. However, Simbaca is also an intelligent man. And one that realizes a leader can not make decisions based on past generations' circumstances. Following his rescue from Typhonus, at the hands of Marsh, DeLeon and Hallas, Simbacca announced that the Pirate Clans will join with the Exo-fleet.
