Not suicide.
I doubt even Peabody could have forced Simon to drop his wards for an invasion force of Ramps.
Say rather, fatal error.
How about a delusion? Seeing McCoy or Luccio at the head of a large troop of Wardens, when he's been primed (by Peabody) to expect a big Secret Plan to attack the Ramps.

No. Too big a move. Remember, older minds cannot be bent only tweeked to do more of what they are already inclined to do. A full on delusion implant would be detected.

Good pickup! Personally, I don’t believe the Black Council wanted the Ramp war to start when it did - as pointed out, the Ramps needed a couple more decades of preparation & planning in order to beat the White Council. Since the fall of the White Council is one of the Outsiders’ (& Black Council’s) goals, I believe they too would’ve wanted to hold off on the war for a while.
Therefore my theory is that Peabody was ‘nudging’ the Senior Council members into being more suspicious of Harry (they are already afraid of what he may become), so that the Council would give him up to the Ramps & end the war before it starts.
Unfortunately some factions within the Red Court & Black Council believe they are ready for war & attack Archangel. I believe Simon is Cowl & that the Ortegas were not Nfected. I also believe that Cowl & Peabody are in different factions of the Black Council.

I think Peabody was responsible for Simon's death, if he did indeed die. But I think the intent was to get a younger mind onto the SC, one that's more susceptible to control. Eb had a claim of seniority, though I don't know by how much offhand. Either that or the goal was to get a Senior Council member who would be another Merlin flunky (isolationist, passive, less likely to get into a brawl with the Reds). While he worked on that, I think Peabody saw an opportunity to try to bump off our favorite Starborn.

Eb did have a claim, it looks like a couple of wizards were more senior to him, but they weren't at the meeting so as the next on the list, Eb got the job.
