With The Mortal Instruments only months away, a new character poster has been released! Simon, Clary’s ever lovable best friend, is an instrument of good.

The poster debuted on Teen.com, and unlike the other posters for Clary and Jace, Simon is seen in profile. Robert Sheehan, formerly of Misfits fame is playing Clary’s Mundane sidekick. Recently, Simon Lewis started a Tumblr that highlights some of his band’s names and will chronicle the life of Simon. It seems that in the coming months he will have a lot to say.

Yesterday we learned City of Ashes has been given the green light with all parties, with director Harald Zwart attached. This comes before the release of City of Bones, which isn’t typical.

Be sure to check out the character posters for Clary and Jace as well as the trailer! As if you haven’t watched it a million times already.
