Seth Dawson

Seth Dawson is one of the main charachters in Touch of Magic. He is a vampire and is considered the moral compass reminding The Dawsons of the value of human life. Seth was spearheading the alliance, as the era of their arrival back into Waterfall Creek gave them the unique opporrtunity to have an impact on the town they love.
Seth is a social person and gets along with anyone, so he urges to establish a good relationship with the witches knowing it's critical for the future and their pressence in the town. After a successfull alliance is established, he grows specifically close to Claire Silverstone to the point where he can't deny he has feelings for her. 
He is loyal and supportive of those he cares about, and despite the harsh living conditions he relocates with Claire to California after their graduation. His inability to detach his emotions make him susceptible to manipulation by others or cause him to comply with the wrong decisions made by those he loves. He ends up being a bystander to Claire's use of bloodmagic which eventually temporarely breaks up their relationship.
After reuniting with Claire, Seth returns to California to close a chapter of his life in San Fransisco. He realizes more and more how much he values the simplicity of human life and mortality, as is also seen throughout his friendships with humans such as Justin Saphire and Payton Silverstone. When Jason decides to get married, it triggers Seth into trying to experience as many human milestones as possible himself.
By letting his guard down he becomes the victim of mindcontrol by The Valkyries who he provides with crucial information without realizing it. Afterwards he has to live with the guilt of what he did, even if he didn't have a choice. He starts to doubt his ambition to have more human experiences, but that changes when Claire announces her pregnancy of twins, Alexis Dawson and Amanda Dawson.
Through a spell by Claire used to escape a prison-dimension, Seth eventually turns human. Despite not having a choice in obtaining his mortality, Seth embraces the transformation. As a former alumni he becomes a history teacher at SJBS.
Up until being turned human, Seth was a member of The Dawsons. Through his daughters and his relationship with Claire he is also a member of The Silverstone Family.

===Early Life===
Seth was born in a very poor family. His father was a forrestguard, his mother a housewife. As a young child, he went on trips to find food and stuff to survive on, living in the middle of the forrest, miles from civilasation. He often missed his mom for more then a week. When he was 14, his parents expected a baby. Unfortunatly, his mom died giving birth in the horrible conditions. His little sister, named Amanda, died soon after.
