Simon's relationship with authority these days is a tenuous one. He's a templar when he wants to avoid answering to the Inquisition brass, and when Norrington hands down an order that he finds particularly absurd, the Inquisition is suddenly the only power that matters anymore. 'Forces' is what he'd put on his paperwork solely because he hadn't been allowed to leave it blank.

But the name does ring a vague bell, because Simon doesn't completely ignore the crystal network except when he's trying to nap, so he gives a polite nod as he reaches for a hammer. "You as well, friend. Ser Simon Ashlock, late of Ansburg. By way of Starkhaven, obviously." Or perhaps less obviously, to a rifter.
