Online science fiction story: Amnesiac evil mastermind used horrific Doomsday weapon

Question

Several years (a decade at least, maybe longer) ago I read a science-fiction story on a blog and I have been trying to find it, but my google-fu is failing me. I remember the following facts:

• It was published online in a blog (I want to say blogspot, but not so sure about that)
• At the start the main character has amnesia and is in a mental hospital
• Main character gathers a crew around him to discover who he was
• Main character's identity is fake and was bought from somebody else
• Main character is (slowly) revealed to be an evil mastermind who used a horrific Doomsday weapon
• Activation of said weapon was a small robotic bird
• One of the safeguards to the weapon is a maze, which checks how you try to solve it
• Androids (which have some sort of biological growth process when they are young) are present
• The androids have the wiped memories
• A monkey gearhead (gets killed in his rec room by fudging with the gravity)
• There's a trial at the end where he's "punished" by getting his old memories back

It's possible that it is no longer online. I have the distinct idea that the author was looking into publishing it or that several publishing houses had expressed interest.

Answer 1

It's Simon of Space. Found it through a Darth Vader diary by the same author.
