—Seth, to Eirika
Seth is a playable character from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is a brave and clever knight of Renais and serves as protector and advisor to Eirika and Ephraim. He is better known as the Silver Knight.
Profile[]
Seth is the General of the Knights of Renais, the elite cavalry force of the Kingdom. Following the brutal invasion by the overwhelming forces of the Grado Empire, he follows king Fado's orders, fleeing from the country in order to protect his daughter, Princess Eirika, by conducting her to safety at the Kingdom of Frelia. However, during the escape he meets the general Valter, from the enemy empire. During their fight Seth manages to escape with Eirika and the other knights that followed him, but he was gravely wounded. He survives, but such wounds never heal completely, and it will afflict him during the entire story. Even so, he is able to ignore the injures to keep fulfilling his duty.
When they reach Serafew, Seth and Eirika meet the fugitive bishop Natasha, who is seeking their aid. Natasha trusts Seth by telling them the secret plan of the Grado Empire, that desired to destroy the Sacred Stones. Seth is also the first one to discover Orson's treason, noting his odd behavior.
As the journey progress, Seth will either follow Eirika or Ephraim in their journeys as the twins decide to take different paths. If the player decides to follow Ephraim, Seth approaches the prince, informing him that Eirika has ordered the entourage, that accompanied her up to this point, to escort Ephraim into his journey to Grado. If the player decides to follow Eirika, he continues following her in the journey, until both armies are all reunited again in chapter 15.
He is also the man who Fado entrusted the secret of the bracelets to. When the time is right, he eventually reveals the secret of the the lunar and solar braces to Ephraim and Eirika, both who were ignorant of the importance of the stones in the jewels they were wearing. When the bracelet is stolen by Colm, Eirika doesn't pay any mind for missing a jewel, but she is pressured by Seth to pursue the thief, even though at that instance he only hints the importance of the item. Later, Seth is the one who instructs the twins how to use the items, that unseals a secret chamber where they can promote, and obtain the sacred weapons.
Epilogue[]
Seth returned to Renais with his new king Ephraim and dedicated his life to protect the royal family. If Seth has an A rank with Natasha, he will happily marry her and have a life of peace while they both dedicate on reconstructing Renais. If he has an A rank with Eirika, he will marry her instead, with the blessings of Ephraim.
Personality[]
Seth is an exemplar knight, best described as a 'duty comes first' man. He is stoic, and deeply loyal to his kingdom Renais. He has a polite, calm demeanor and is usually expressionless. He puts his emotions aside to focus completely in his job, always letting his duties come before his feelings, as seen in his conversation with Eirika, where he has difficulties expressing his feelings to people that have a higher social status, showing a great deal of humility and honor. However, he sometimes loosens up when talking to others, such as Franz and Natasha.
He is a very dedicated knight; the fact that he faces the fierce General Valter and continued to follow his king's orders despite being wounded, shows how skilled and devoted he was to his country. He is also very perceptive, with strong tactical skills. Seth is also concerned with the situations of others and watches over the welfare of everyone in the army.

Seth is arguably among the strongest units in the entire series. His starting stats are noteworthy for being on par with those of a legitimately promoted cavalier, with the fairly competent Franz only matching him around level 15/1. Shockingly, despite his outstanding start, Seth possesses solid growths across the board, a grand total of 325%, with Luck as his only 'weakness'. Seth typically has lower HP and higher resistance to all of the other cavaliers, with his other stats averaging between those of Kyle and Forde.
Seth starts with an A rank in both swords and lances, allowing him early command of the weapon triangle, and his high 8 move allows him to charge into enemy lines and put his good stats to use. Seth also possesses the Anima affinity which, thanks to the enemy's generally abysmal evasion rates, is at its strongest in this title. He easily fosters Support with Eirika, and can also support Franz relatively easily.
All in all, Seth is among one of the more consistent units in the game. He starts out strong and can hold his own up to the end of the game. While other Cavaliers, particularly Franz, will eventually be able to match or even surpass him, this only materializes later in the game, if at all. Seth lacks the critical flaw (low long-term potential) that holds most early-game pre-promotes in check, and the enemies, even very late in the game, simply are not strong enough to catch up to him, so he will be able to consistently stay ahead of them for the duration of the campaign. He can practically solo the game - in fact, doing so is widely considered easier than using other units besides him.

Silver-Sea Knight Seth | |||
---|---|---|---|
Seth is a general of Renais, who some call the Silver Knight. This appearance sees him wearing a swimsuit for the beach as he escorts Princess Eirika on her summer vacation! | |||
Even dressed like this, he looks just as gallant as he does on horseback in full armor! By the way, I've heard that lei around his neck was a present from Eirika! | |||
The axe he's carrying features a seahorse design, and its blade is designed to look like a wave. It's even made from glass to give it a transparent look! | |||
Even if he's supposed to be on vacation, though, Seth's still keeping his armor tucked away in the shade of a tree—just in case. I know your work's important, Seth, but even you need to take a break every once in a while! | |||
