Personality and character

---

Setheth highly values order and discipline. Although he is wary of Rhea's decision to entrust Byleth with a position at the Officers Academy, he respects her judgement. He dotes on his younger sister Flayn, to the point of overprotectiveness.

Endings

Seteth, Heir of Purpose/Ally of the Archbishop
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, Heir of Purpose and Flayn, Slumbering Princess
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, Heir of Purpose, and Byleth, Wandering Flame (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, Ally of the Archbishop & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight (Azure Moon)
Ingrid declined to rule House Galatea, choosing instead to serve House Blaiddyd as a knight. As Faerghus worked with the Chuch 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, Faergus 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.

Seteth, Heir of Purpose & Bernadetta, Eternal Loner (Verdant Wind)
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, Heir of Purpose & Hilda, Free Spirit
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 children who loved them eventually passed the famous and beloved works on to their own children and grandchildren.

Seteth, Heir of Purpose & Catherine, Free Knight
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.

Quotes

Battle quotes

“	Traitor! I will not forgive you for turning on Rhea!	”	— Seteth, as an enemy fighting Byleth in Black Eagles Chapter 12.

“	I will show no mercy to anyone who attacks Rhea!	”	— Seteth, as an enemy in Black Eagles Chapter 12.

“	It saddens me to face you on the field of battle, after all you've done for Flayn. I cannot approve of your actions. But I also cannot follow Rhea on her current course. It may not change anything, but allow me to make a promise to you. If Flayn and I survive this battle, we will withdraw from the world and leave you to do as you please.	”	— Seteth, as an enemy fighting Byleth in Crimson Flower Chapter 15.

“	Trespassing on holy ground is a grave sin indeed. You must atone for it with your life!	”	— Seteth, as an enemy in Crimson Flower Chapter 15.

“	Seteth: You will not escape, Death Knight. Today you will be unmasked! Death Knight: My true identity has no value. Seteth: I will be the judge of that, once I've seen your face.	”	— Seteth, fighting the Death Knight in Silver Snow Chapter 17/Verdant Wind Chapter 18/Azure Moon Chapter 20.

“	Seteth: Edelgard! Return Rhea! Release your grip on Fódlan! Edelgard: If you strike me down, they will return. I cannot permit what you desire. You are a child of the goddess. You must not be allowed power over the people!	”	— Seteth, fighting Edelgard in Silver Snow Chapter 19/Verdant Wind Chapter 20.

“	I will inherit the pride of Nabatea. Rest in peace by Sothis's side!	”	— Seteth, fighting the Immaculate One in Silver Snow Chapter 21.

“	The Wind Caller: Are these your companions? Seteth: They are indeed. I should tell you that Seiros is in a precarious state right now. The Wind Caller: I will not assist you. I have lived apart from the world of man, which disgusts me so. This war disgusts me also. Seteth: I thought you might say as much. That is regrettable.	”	— Seteth, fighting the Wind Caller in The Sleeping Sand Legend.

“	Seteth: You seem to be holding back. Thank you for that. The Immovable: Hmph. Do not flatter me. My power is not what it once was. The best I can do nowadays is to have fun meddling with humans who wander in here. Seteth: I see. We were hoping you might help us, but it seems that may be too difficult.	”	— Seteth, fighting the Immovable in Legend of the Lake.
