A lot of readers seem to suspect that he's a member of the black council, or 'circle', and that he faked his death to be able to act unobserved, mostly because he trained Dumorne.

I am skeptical, it is equally possible that Simon was a major contributor to the conflict against the Outsiders and their infiltration of the White Council,  and Dumorne was turned in an attempt to get to him, followed by eventually using the red court to take him out when that failed.

Ebenezar certainly seems to have trusted him.
