“Now... You shall be in charge of one the Officer Academy's three classes. I'm opposed to leaving this up to a youngster with whose past we know nothing about, but this is the Archbishop's wish.”
—Seteth speaking to Byleth

Seteth is a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is second-in-command to Archbishop Rhea of the Church of Seiros, as well as an instructor in the Officers Academy, where he offers lessons in Lances and Authority. He bears a Major Crest of Saint Cichol.

Profile

Seteth is the older brother of Flayn. He became the second-in-command and chief aide to Rhea, the Archbishop of the Church of Seiros, after being summoned to Garreg Mach Monastery in 1159. He respects Rhea's judgment of Byleth, who was unexpectedly offered a professorship at the Officers Academy, though he does not let his guard down around them.

In reality, Seteth is Flayn's father. His wife is buried in the Rhodos Coast. While he claims to be a descendant of Cichol, he is Cichol himself. Though he wasn't present in Zanado during the massacre, he allied with Seiros during the War of Heroes. After the war, he and his daughter went into isolation.

School Phase

During the Horsebow Moon, Flayn is suddenly kidnapped, putting the monastery and Seteth in high alert. After Flayn has been found safe and sound, Seteth initially wants to take her into hiding in order to prevent such a situation from happening again. Flayn rejects the idea, since it would at most delay an inevitable, and she would be much safer in the monastery, surrounded by capable knights and the growing students. By her suggestion, she joins Byleth's class as an unofficial student. Seteth begrudgingly agrees, as Byleth had proven their merit by rescuing his beloved sister.

After Rhea intends to have Byleth sit on the Goddess Throne to restore Sothis, Seteth goes off to confront Rhea over the secrets she is hiding from him, which a student overheard, feeling as if he was trying to interrogate her.

War Phase

Crimson Flower

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

If Byleth sided with Edelgard, Seteth leads the defense of Garreg Mach's walls. If Flayn is defeated before him, he orders her to withdraw, which she complies with. He shows disgust at Byleth's decision to side with Edelgard, denouncing them as a traitor. Despite his best efforts, he is eventually defeated and forced to retreat, as he needs to protect Flayn.

Following the five year timeskip after the attack, the Church reorganizes and attempts to retake the monastery, with Seteth leading the expeditionary force. Prior to the battle, Seteth privately speaks with Flayn outside the monastery. Flayn is reluctant to fight Byleth, who Seteth now refers to as a "wayward soul"; though he expresses his clear dislike of them, he still owes them for saving her from the Death Knight. Seteth is angered that Byleth would have decided to go against Rhea, and because of this he has seen Rhea change for the worst, knowing the Church will not be what it once was five years ago. He tells Flayn to stay away from the front lines for her own safety.

If Byleth battles Seteth, he cuts a deal with them; due to their involvement in saving Flayn, if they defeat him in battle, both he and Flayn will go into hiding and allow them to do shape Fodlan however they wish. If anyone else battles Seteth, he accuses them of defiling sacred ground. Byleth must land the finishing blow to cause Seteth to retreat; anyone else will result in his death instead. If Flayn has already retreated, he will do so himself regardless of who lands the final blow.

Should Seteth and Flayn survive the battle, they are met by Catherine, with Seteth handing her a letter to give to Rhea as they depart. In it, Seteth expresses his disgust for Byleth, but also states that Flayn's life is too important and wishes for Rhea to one day be free from the burden of her work. Rhea accepts the letter and does not make any attempt to force the two to rejoin her forces.

Silver Snow

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

If Byleth goes against Edelgard, signifying the start of the Silver Snow route, Seteth will serve as the retainer/advisor for Byleth for the rest of the story. Seteth is also the first person Byleth meets within the ruins of Garreg Mach Monastery, who was searching for thieves who have stolen from the ruins.

Upon killing Edelgard, Seteth and the others receive a posthumous letter from Hubert, who reveals their true enemy and the location where Rhea is being kept. Seteth and Flayn accompany Byleth to Rhea's chambers, who reveals to her their true enemy and that they must stop hiding the truth. Rhea informs Byleth of those who slither in the dark. Seteth tells them about the story of Nemesis and how he massacred the children of the goddess.

After the battle at Shambhala, Rhea decides to inform Byleth of everything she has kept hidden from the others. Upon doing so, she goes berserk, transforming into her Immaculate One form before flying off. One of the Knights soon comes in and informs Seteth that several priests and knights are changing form. Seteth recognizes these as White Beasts, just as a church soldier informs him that Demonic Beasts are converging towards the monastery. As Fódlan will be destroyed if the Immaculate One and her "children" rampage across the land, he reluctantly states that they must kill Rhea.

Prior to the battle, Seteth informs Byleth that all high-ranking church members are given Rhea's blood and a Crest stone fragment, and they are the White Beasts. He also informs Byleth and the others about incoming enemy reinforcements and how to successfully harm Rhea. Following the battle, he remained in the Church to implement numerous reforms.

Personality

Seteth is a man who values order and discipline. He is very loyal to Rhea and the Church of Seiros, and shares her hostility towards those that oppose the Church. While he accepts her judgment in making Byleth a new professor, he maintains firm skepticism of them until they rescue Flayn. After that incident, he expresses complete gratitude for them and trusts Byleth with Flayn's care. In the Crimson Flower route, Seteth grapples with Byleth's "betrayal" but begrudgingly concedes that he still owes them dearly for saving Flayn's life.

As seen with many of his supports, Seteth often offers his wise advice to those younger than him despite his stern nature, such as encouraging Felix to interact more with those that care about him, and imploring Ingrid to consider herself an individual before thinking of herself as a Crest bearer.

He dotes on Flayn and constantly worries for her safety, as he knows others would try to use her blood for their purposes. He also views her as his only sole reason of living, and could not bear to live in a world without her. He generally goes far out of his way to ensure that no harm can reach her, much to Flayn's dismay. He incessantly meddles with her social life; in fact, he would intimidate any student that attempted to make romantic advances on her. This in turn makes Flayn hide any romantic interests she has from Seteth. In some of Flayn's paired endings with the others, it is implied that Seteth tolerates their marriage, while in others like Claude's he appears to be unaware of the extent of their relationship.

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

This protection stems from the fact that during the War of Heroes, he allowed Flayn to enter battle at a young age, and failed to watch both her and his wife, causing the former to fall into a deep restorative sleep and the latter to die. Upon learning how long it would take for her to recover, he vowed to protect her with whatever life he had.

Seteth has a talent for writing children's stories and fables, having written some for Flayn when she was younger, and is an aspiring author. He is not a good artist, and as such his stories lack illustrations (which would complement his books), though he may find an illustrator for his books through some supports.

He inherited a love of fishing from his late wife. However, he does it to primarily to enjoy the sound of the waves and other nostalgic sensations, and is not particularly skilled. In his supports with Leonie, he tells her that his late wife was the one who prepared the bait, but regardless he does not mind fishing with or without it.

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

Seteth is quite protective of his past as Cichol, having kept his true identity a secret along with Cethleann from others knowing the dangers of revealing his true identity. His past, like Cethleann, has generally been lost to history, which has caused scholars to look at them with moderate suspicion. In his supports with Hanneman, Hanneman wonders how Seteth has a major Crest of Cichol, having done so for 16 years (or 21 after the timeskip), since he is the only known person who carries such a Crest. Like Flayn, Seteth is protective about his true identity, although he does a far better job than her in doing so, maintaining a cautious approach and not giving any cues that would cause suspicion. After Byleth accompanies Seteth and Flayn to the Rhodos Coast, Seteth admits to them that Flayn is actually his daughter, but continues to conceal their identities as Saints. He very rarely permits Flayn to call him by his true name or "Father."

Recruitment

Seteth will automatically join the player's roster at the beginning of Chapter 12. However, if the player is teaching the Black Eagles house and sided with Edelgard in the previous chapter, then Seteth will not join and cannot be recruited whatsoever. If they instead side with the Church of Seiros, then Seteth will automatically be recruited as normal. If Flayn has fallen in battle in classic mode in either the Blue Lions and Golden Deer routes, he will not join your party. However, he will still join your party in the Silver Snow route regardless if Flayn is defeated or not.

Overall

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Seteth is a powerful physical combatant once obtained, except in the Crimson Flower route where he cannot be used. He has solid Strength, HP, Dexterity, and Speed, as well as good Charm for using Gambits. However, he isn't nearly as impressive defensively (despite starting with a good Defense stat), and his Luck growth rate is below average. He also only joins you once you reach Chapter 12, so some of your other characters may surpass him at this point.

Seteth starts as a Wyvern Rider, and is ideal to class into Wyvern Lord, but it can be worthwhile to downgrade him to certain classes temporarily, such as Brigand or Armored Knight, to acquire certain abilities. It is recommended to equip him with a Knowledge Gem when doing so to speed up the process. Unfortunately, classing him into any cavalry-based classes is difficult due to his weakness in Riding, but this will only really matter for acquiring Aegis as the other cavalry-based abilities are not that helpful to him. Mastering War Master for Quick Riposte is, as with most physical characters, a good investment, but will take a considerable amount of time for Seteth to acquire the necessary skill in Brawling.

Possible Endings

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

Seteth - Heir of Purpose

Seteth remained at the monastery and worked to restore the authority of the Church of Seiros. Doing away with his old strictness, he adopted a tolerant stance toward all. His encouragement of believers to respect those of other faiths helped the people of Fódlan to find common ground with others.

Seteth and Byleth (Verdant Wind / Silver Snow)

After ascending the throne as the first queen of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth appointed Seteth as her prime minister. As they set about the grand task of restoring Fódlan, the prime minister’s strictness combined with the queen’s magnanimity won the people over easily. Their personalities complemented one another perfectly in dealings with obstinate lords. When their long work was done, they finally announced their marriage, to the shock and delight of their subjects. The people considered themselves truly blessed to be governed by such a union.

Seteth and Byleth (Azure Moon)

Byleth took on the role of archbishop of the Church of Seiros, and Seteth continued in his position of adviser. As they set about the grand task of restoring Fódlan and the church, Seteth’s strictness combined with the archbishop’s magnanimity won the faithful over easily. Their personalities complemented one another perfectly in keeping church operations smooth. When Fódlan returned to stability, they finally announced their marriage, to the shock and delight of the people. The faithful considered themselves truly blessed to be guided by such a pair.

Seteth and Bernadetta

After the war, Seteth remained at the monastery and dedicated himself to the restoration of the church. He was soon joined by Bernadetta, who abandoned her inheritance to House Varley and took up residence at Garreg Mach to commit to a life as a recluse. As the years wore on, Seteth wrote many fables, first in his spare time, and then later as his main preoccupation. His stories became famous among children throughout Fódlan. As he gained renown, many began to inquire about the wonderful illustrations that accompanied the writing. In response to these questions, Seteth was known to shrug and say, "Ask my wife... if you can find her."

Seteth and Ingrid (Azure Moon*)

Ingrid declined to rule House Galatea, choosing instead to serve House Blaiddyd as a knight. As Faerghus worked with the Church of Seiros to advance policy, Ingrid served as an envoy between the two. In this capacity, she met routinely with Seteth, whose complete trust in Ingrid resulted in fruitful negotiations. Together, Faerghus and the church coordinated extensive relief efforts to return prosperity to Fódlan. After they had accomplished what they set out to do, it is said that Ingrid and Seteth settled down together in a small village, where they spent their days in peace, farming and fishing.

*While Seteth and Ingrid can support in other routes, they only have a paired ending in Azure Moon route.

Seteth and Hilda

After the war, Seteth dedicated himself to the restoration of the church. He continued to write fables for children in his spare time, but became dissatisfied with the hobby due to a lack of quality illustrations for his work. When Hilda learned of this, she jumped at the chance to visit Garreg Mach and illustrate some of Seteth's newer stories for him. The completed fables were distributed far and wide, and the children who loved them eventually passed the famous and beloved works on to their own children and grandchildren.

Seteth and Leonie

While Seteth remained at the monastery after the war to restore the Church of Seiros, Leonie wandered the land in pursuit of her dream to become an elite mercenary. It seemed as if their paths would never cross again. Years later, after they had achieved their goals, both retired and disappeared from the public eye at the same time, as if it had been prearranged. Though no official records of their lives after that time exist, it is rumored that a happy couple resembling them was sighted in a small mountain village. The couple was known for their excellent fishing skills, and for cooking up their bountiful catches for all the local villagers and travelers.

Seteth and Flayn

While Flayn disappeared soon after the war, Seteth stayed at the monastery and worked to restore the authority of the Church of Seiros. Doing away with his old strictness, he adopted a tolerant stance toward all, and encouraged his followers to do the same. When he was satisfied that the message was received, he vanished from the monastery. Several centuries later, a man and a woman in ancient attire emerged to a Fódlan that had drastically changed. When she asked the man beside her if it would be all right in this new era to call him "Father," he said that perhaps it would be better to remain on the safe side.

Seteth and Manuela

After the war, Seteth remained at the monastery to rebuild the church. Several years of hard restorative work later, he received a letter from Manuela. She wrote that she had traveled to a small, war-torn town and opened up a school for children. Reminded of the beauty and compassion in Manuela’s heart, Seteth was moved to leave the monastery and join her there. As they worked together to manage the budding institution, the couple fell in love and eventually were married. It is said that their students were overjoyed.

Seteth and Catherine (Azure Moon / Silver Snow*)

After the war, Seteth fully confessed his love to Catherine and asked her to marry him. Intending to accompany Rhea to a life of seclusion, however, Catherine declined. Over the years, as Seteth worked to rebuild the church from the monastery, he continued to write love letters to Catherine. When the rebuilding effort was complete, he journeyed to the Red Canyon, where she and Rhea had been living, and delivered all of his letters by hand. Catherine was deeply moved, and with Rhea's blessing and no more reason to refuse him, she accepted his proposal. The two were wed and lived out their lives happily alongside Rhea.

* Requires Byleth to not achieve S Support with Rhea.

Seteth and Catherine (Verdant Wind / Silver Snow*)

After the war, Seteth fully confessed his love to Catherine and asked her to marry him. Refusing to remain at the monastery, however, Catherine declined. Over the years, as Seteth worked to rebuild the church, he continued to write love letters to Catherine. Her answer was always the same. Finally, when the rebuilding effort was complete, Seteth left the church and went to see her, declaring his love anew. With no more reason to refuse him, she at last accepted his proposal. The two were wed, and swore to walk side by side together through the new age.

After the war, Rhea resumed her duties as the archbishop, and Seteth and Catherine joined her in rebuilding the Knights of Seiros. As ever, Seteth served as her second in command and Catherine remained one of her most trusted protectors. When the hard work was over and all had been restored, Seteth confessed his love to Catherine and asked her to marry him. Though initially reluctant, Catherine is said to have been persuaded to accept by a nudge from Rhea herself. The two were wed in a packed and lively ceremony, and afterward they lived out their lives happily as husband and wife.

Trivia

CG artwork of Crimson Flower Seteth S-Support

• Seteth has an unused artwork depicting his S-Support with Byleth in the Crimson Flower route, suggesting that he was initially able to join the Black Eagle Strike Force but was later scrapped.
• Seteth shares his English voice actor, Mark Whitten, with Hríd and Lyon (from The Sacred Stones) in Fire Emblem Heroes.
  • Seteth shares his Japanese voice actor, Takehito Koyasu, with Navarre in his appearances in Fire Emblem Heroes, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Fire Emblem Warriors, Saber in Fire Emblem Echoes, Lewyn (from Genealogy of the Holy War) and Pent (from The Blazing Blade) in their appearances in Fire Emblem Heroes, Awakening's Lon'qu and Validar, and Fates' Niles.
• Seteth shares the Crest of Cichol with Ferdinand.
  • According to Hanneman, Seteth is the only person ever confirmed to bear the Major Crest of Cichol.
• Seteth, Gilbert, Catherine, Shamir, Cyril and Jeritza are the only characters that, depending on the house chosen, will join the player's army automatically.
  • In Seteth's case, he will join in Chapter 12 in all routes except the Crimson Flower route.
• Seteth, Claude, Cyril and Balthus have the most Subject Strengths, with a total of five.
• Seteth is the only character who will always appear as a Mission Assistant in his paralogue.
• Seteth has a unique battle model as a Wyvern Rider.
  • Otherwise, he uses white colours for his classes.
• If Seteth is taken to the old Church in the Enbarr battle map, he will reminisce about his time before he joined the Church of Seiros.
• Seteth is one of the few characters who will retreat, rather than die, if defeated on Classic mode in the War Phase. The other four are Hilda, Hubert, Gilbert, and Flayn.
  • However, he won't be playable anymore, and it is said in the ending screen that he'll die of his wounds soon after the war.
    • He will retreat if defeated only in the Silver Snow route, and will die normally in the Verdant Wind and Azure Moon routes.
• Seteth's S-Support with Byleth is unique in the fact that his CG artwork/confession scene is in the middle of the support, whereas other characters CG artwork/confession is at the end of the support.
• Oddly, Seteth's unpaired ending doesn't have him vanish, even though Flayn disappears in her unpaired ending.
  • However, in their paired ending, Seteth does leave the monastery, he does so once he has completed his task.
• Unlike Flayn, Seteth doesn't have an unpaired ending in case she dies.
  • This is most likely because Seteth is mentioned in Flayn's ending, but not the contrary.

  • From Update 1.1.0 onwards, Jeritza and Anna also take part in this category.
