Seth

|
“ | I was born into a family of knights, so it was agiven that I should be one, too. I trained in spear and sword. I studied chivalry and swore my oaths of fealty. And because of my hard work, the late King Fado treated me like a second son. | ” | — Seth |

Seth (Japanese: ゼト Seth) is a character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is under the player's control at the very start of the game, in the prologue. After the fall of Renais, he takes Eirika to safety and becomes her most trusted knight.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Role
In the beginning of the game, King Fado of Renais is in the throne room with Eirika, Seth, and several guards. A messenger comes stating that the castle is under attack by Grado, and so he commands Seth to take Eirika out of the castle. Although she is safe, the two then encounter some enemies. Seth remains as Eirika's trusted knight for the rest of the story, and plays a role as a kind of tactician, similar to Marcus of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade or Malledus of Shadow Dragon.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Seth is widely considered to be the most powerful unit in the entire Fire Emblem series. He has very high base stats; 30 HP, 14 Str, 12 Spd, 11 Def, 8 Res, and A ranks in both lances and swords allow him to dominate almost the entire game. Only around chapter 15 will his bases start being somewhat lackluster, but by then his great growths, which are among the best in the game, will have kicked in plentifully. Even with only a few levels, he will easily be your strongest unit throughout the majority if not all of the game. The rest of your army will be all the stronger for the experience the player doesn't have to invest in him. Seth also has a mount, allowing him to traverse the battlefield with little issues and rescue units in danger. As if all this wasn't enough, Seth has near-perfect availability (only missing out on Chapter 5x), but said Chapter is a unique case, so Seth's availability can be considered perfect.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Seth is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the The Sacred Stones character set. Seth is also present as an enemy in the second and third installments of the Smash Brethren DLC series.

Personality and character
Seth is a truly loyal knight to the main characters of the story. He serves Eirika and Ephraim willingly and protects them on their journeys. In the beginning of the game, he is ordered by King Fado to take Eirika out of the palace. He acts as something of a guide or mentor for the protagonists throughout the game.
In his C-Support conversation with Eirika, it is revealed that he deliberately ignores pain and injury he suffers during battle to keep her mind at rest.

Endings
Seth, the Silver Knight

Eirika and Seth
Upon their return to Renais, Eirika and Seth were wed, with the blessings of Ephraim and all of the Knights of Renais. The tale of the love that grew between a princess and her loyal knight became a beloved romance in Renais.
Seth and Natasha
Natasha returned to Renais with Seth, where the two were wed. The reconstruction of Renais kept them busy, but when all the work was done, they settled down to live their days in peace and happiness.

Trivia
- If Seth falls in battle, he will continue to participate in all of the conversations as if he were uninjured, due to his "death" quote implying that he retreats instead of dying. However, while his sprite may still appear on the map during cutscenes, he will flee once battle begins and cannot be deployed for the rest of the game.
- Christopher Corey Smith, Seth's English voice actor in Heroes, also voices both Legion and Reinhardt in the same game, Slayde in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and both male Robin and Yarne in Awakening.[2]
