Origin

The provided sources do not preserve a narrative origin or cosmogonic tale for Simut. Available references present him as an established Elamite god known from inscriptions and brief summaries, characterized functionally rather than by a mythic birth or origin story.

Appearance

No iconographic or descriptive evidence for Simut's physical appearance is supplied in the provided materials. The sources do not record attributes, animals, garments, or common visual motifs for this deity.

Abilities

In the attested material Simut is described primarily as "the herald of the gods," indicating a role as divine messenger or proclaimer within the Elamite divine assembly. He is further identified with the planet Mars, an astral association recorded in the sources; beyond these concise attestations the materials do not attribute specific powers (for example martial or warlike functions) to him, and such inferences are not made in the supplied texts. The sources also report a close association with Manzat, the rainbow goddess, indicating cooperative or paired cultic/astral relationships.
