Division agent Simon Keyes is a part of the Strategic Homeland Division (SHD) Strategic Branch and is in charge of the local New York City ISAC Data Node. He is the protagonist of the storyline of Operation ISAC YouTube videos.

Current Status
As a part of the Strategic Branch of the SHD, Simon was a member of a team tasked with safeguarding the local data node of Intelligent System Analytic Computer (ISAC), used for Division communications, in the New York City. However, he was the only one who has survived by the time of the events of Operation ISAC.

Simon started working with Second Wave Division agents in order to provide intel and rewards in order for completing ISAC.exe (later known as Weekly ISAC Assignment) after he discovered that someone was trying to take control of the ISAC node. He learned from Agent St. Claire that someone is trying to find him and the node.

He finds out the guy after the node is "Asher" and informed the Division field agents of the Last Man Battalion acquiring a SHD-XT47 supercomputer that can bypass the IDS and reveal the Data Node's position.

Now working with a woman now known as Esmay (E is her code-name), he tried to get the hardware to protect the Node but only got the request accepted by initiating a trade of a Division Shade Tech watch that can only access certain things as part of the restriction put on by Simon. Esmay was about to have the hardware acquired but is pinned down by enemy forces.

After she was rescued, Esmay was brought by Simon to the Data Node to recuperate. The two worked with Agent Rainer to take out "Asher" who had been trying to take over the node. Rainer was successful in rescuing Esmay's sister Alex. The two planned to go to a safe quarantine zone through a Joint Task Force helicopter. But when they were supposed to depart, Simon discovers they weren't on the passenger list and confronts Rainer about it. Rainer reveals the truth that he is "Asher".

Rainer kidnaps Esmay and tries to force Simon to give him access to the ISAC node. Simon however has Alex secretly rescued but Rainer discovers that he is stalling him. Rainer threatens to kill Esmay if Simon doesn't give him access, but he is able to seemingly help her escape though is wounded in the process. Rainer goes to find Esmay to force Simon to give him access to the node, but unbeknownst to him, she was hiding in the base. Simon gives a final mission to the Division agents to kill Rainer. He is saved from bleeding to death by Esmay and as has a reward delivered to the base of the Division agents for helping him.
