“It is my charge. It is my hope. Sir Orson... Prepare yourself.”
—Seth, before fighting Orson in The Sacred Stones

Seth (ゼト Zeto) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is a calm, brave, clever soldier of Renais that harbors feelings for Eirika. He is better known as the Silver Knight.

Profile

Seth is General of the Knights of Renais, the elite cavalry force of the Renais Kingdom. Following the brutal invasion by the overwhelming forces of the Grado Empire, he, on Fado's orders, flees from the country in order to protect Princess Eirika, by conducting her to safety at the Kingdom of Frelia. He serves as protector and advisor to Eirika and Ephraim. He is also the man who Fado entrusted the secret of the bracelets to.

He is a very dedicated knight; the fact that he faces the fierce General Valter and continued to follow his orders shows how skilled and devoted he was to his country. Seth is also concerned with the situations of others and watches over the welfare of everyone.

Personality

Seth is best described as a 'duty comes first' man. He is stoic, honorable, polite, calm, and usually expressionless. Despite his seemingly cold outside, he is just and fair, and sometimes loosens up when talking to others, such as Franz and Natasha.

Seth also let his duties come first before his feelings, which can be seen in his A Support with Eirika, where he has difficulties expressing his feelings more to people that have a higher social status, showing a great deal of humility and honor.

Overall

Seth's starting stats are low for a promoted unit, though this is partially remedied by his well-balanced growths. He has the invaluable Anima affinity, and is available from the start. He will be one of the strongest units for the first part of the game. He is already adept at using lances and swords, which covers most of the weapon triangle, giving him an edge over most enemies. His ability to use lances is particularly useful because it gives him the option of using ranged combat with a Javelin, as well as melee fighting with lances and swords. Overall, while his bases prevent him from surpassing the other potential paladins, Seth is still a very capable character, especially in the early game.
