When he confronted him at the Institute, the Doctor showed him how the Intelligence was nothing more than a reflection of Simeon himself rather than a separate entity. Undaunted by this revelation, Simeon sought to get the remains of the Governess, but the Doctor tricked him into being bitten by a [[memory worm]]. The memories of his adult life were erased, but the Intelligence had by this time gained enough independence to survive and fill in the void left and take over Simeon's body. After a brief scuffle with the Doctor, whatever was left of Simeon died when the Intelligence was defeated and relinquished control of his body.

Although Simeon's physical body had died, the Great Intelligence used his image as an avatar to communicate with Miss [[Kizlet]] via a large wall-mounted video screen at [[the Shard]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'') The Great Intelligence would later appear in the form of Simeon on [[Trenzalore]] accompanied by the [[Whisper Men]], who wore the same attire as Simeon, the reason for this was revealed when he destroyed his own body and immediately after manifested in a Whisper Man whose blank face turned into that of Simeon's. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'') The Intelligence used the Simeon avatar twice more - once when it escaped the Doctor's timeline and arrived in [[1937]] before three boys in Draynes Wood, [[Cornwall]] (including an eight-year old [[Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart]]), and later in [[1969]] for a final confrontation with the adult Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart.
