Simon had already expected such a scenario.
From the moment he decided to return to Velmora as Blackmoon, he knew the Eastern Faction would eventually connect his identity to the Outsider. The timing was too suspicious, the coincidences too numerous, and the Voice and the Second Claw were not foolish enough to ignore them forever.
The Second Claw had merely reached the conclusion a little bit faster than he expected.
As for the Blackmoon currently inside Pipeline Inn, Simon had prepared that piece for an entirely different audience.
The demon beneath Blackmoon's borrowed face was the same one Simon had once used to perform the dead drop in the Old Bell Quarter. The demon he had saved from being killed.
Simon had not placed him inside Pipeline Inn to fool the Voice or the Second Claw.
He had placed him there for Black Horn.
