==Biography==
===Early Life===
Born 278 AC on the Dreadfort, Seban Bolton is the youngest legimate son of Roose and Bethany Bolton, he is the younger brother of Domeric Bolton. His mother died of childbirth when having him, which caused the relationship with his father to be complex since the beginning.
Ever since a little boy, Seban took interest in swords and knights, often following around the guards of the castle and poking people around with sticks as if they were swords. He was never interested in protection, but rather in the idea of fighting. Being born a Bolton made him be indifferent to violence, but he wasn't interested in the usual Bolton violence, being more intirgued by the dynamism of swordfighting. Due to this interest, Seban woul start to claim he would turn into a knight someday, even if his father wasn't too sure if he would make it. Seban started his training at the age of 10, commited to join the Kingsguard someday. While his training was not the most efficient since the men who trained him weren't as skilled, he turned into an ace of the sword, being able to kill with just a few strikes, whoever, he is not as graceful as he should be in defense, creating hos own mentality that each blow should be taken with pride, which earned him multiple scars all over his body, mainly on his torso.
When he turned 19, his father introduced to Ramsay to the family and casually that same year his older brother passed away. Seban hated Ramsay right away, blaming him for the death of Domeric, and Ramsay hated him as well for being the other child left of Roose. The two started a rivaly that at first could be seen as just something between brother, such a exchanges of insults and passive pranks, that quickly turned into something more aggresive, to the point where they would use their trainings as a battlefield. While their rivaly was growing more intense, it never escalated into anything violent, until Ramsay took the initiative.
That same year, in one of their usual trainings, Ramsay decided to attack for real. While fighting, Seban tried to fight back, but Ramsay's aggression were too much for him, enough for him to be able to slit Seban's throat with no hesitation. Lucky for Seban, he managed to knock him to the ground before anything deadly could happen. While the wound was deep, it was not enough to kill Seba, but he was left aphonic after the murder attempt, which was ruled an accident by their father.
Afraid that Ramsay would try to murder him again and ashamed that he lost in one simple battle, Seban begged his father to be sent away. He thought he was too weak to be a knight and the scar he had was too much to bare for a knight, so his plan was now to join the Night's Watch. There was hesitation from his father's part, but ultimately he agreed and was sent once his wound healed, leaving Ramsay as the only son left on the Dreadfort.
===Season One===
Seban showed no interest towards anyone around him, even when the king himself and his family show to visit the Wall, he was not bothered to pay attention the royal family. Even if he showed lack of interest, the son of the king Donnis Baratheon, was intrigued bt him, which he reciprocated with his usual uninterest. Deep inside, there was more anger and jealousy to his lack of words, but annoyance as well since the knight couldn't see his desinterest. 
By the time Jon Snow arrived to the Wall, Seban had already made a reputation for himself. He had already spent a year there training, and he is praised for his ability to fight but somewhat feared by the rest of the recruits due to his aggression, his lack of words and the fact he refused to avoid any blow that came to him. He had remained undefeated for a while now and even if people were not on his level, he still foudn enjoymente in fighting others. Even it seemed as if he enjoyed harming the rest of the recruits, Seban didn't have any hard feelings on them, mostly just ignoring them and being on his own once the training was over. 
His enjoyment lasted long until he decided to practice with Jon, the overconfidence in his abilities making him lose against him and earning him a few cuts on the face, but nothing too dangerous or deep. The rest of the recruits didn't think much of that, unlike Seban, who took the defeat too personal and swore that he would defeat Jon Snow, his swear coming off as a threat.
Seban kept his distance from everyone for a while, not showing up to training or helping in any of his assigned tasked. None of the recruits seemed worried about it until Satin decided to check on him, which was a search with no result since apparently Seban was nowhere to be seen.
He reappeared one night while he was tasked to the night patrol with Jon. Their patrol was civil at first, with the two of them staying in silence with a few attempts of conversation from Jon's part, which all ended up on him being ignore. It didn't take long for Seban to get aggressive, telling Jon he had been practising to defeat him and challenging him to a duel, attacking without a sign before they could settle. Once he was about to stab Jon, Seban had a moment of clarity and quickly back away, leaving the patrol in embarrassment due to his anger.
While Seban never apologized for his actions, he started to behave in a more civil way towards the rest of the members, specially Jon. Once Sam Tarly arrived, he had calmed down and started interacting more with the recruits, but still talking little. He got somewhat closed with Sam, Jon, and Satin, being around them most of the time even if he acted as if he didn't want to be there. 
===Season Two===
==Apperance and Personality==
Seban does not take much care of his apperance, since he spends most of his time training, so his dark curly hair is messy and long. He has blue eyes, but what makes it stand out more is the eyebags under them, due to lack of sleep. Even if he does not pay much attention, he manages to look presentable. His most distinguish feature would be the scar on his throat, which he covers with his clothings or with a red ribbon when it is too noticable. While the scar on his throat is the most noticeable one, he has multiple scars all over his body due to his years of training. 
Due to the injury on his throat, Seban is a man who rarely speaks, when he does his voice is raspy and barely audible. He was never fond on talking either, being quiet cold and aloof since he was a kid. Unlike his brother Ramsay, he does not get any thrill from killing, but he enjoys the adrenaline of a fight, which makes him be constantly training with peasants in small sword fight rings. While often getting praise for his swordsman abilities, Seban is quite clumsy when it comes to dodging, rather wanting to take the hit proudly, he attacks but doesn't defend. 
He is too prideful, making him embarassed and angry when he loses his matches, which for him are rather rare cases. He tends to disappear when he is too angry, afraid of causing a scene or turning too violent. While not afraid of violence, Seban tends to shut himself when he knows fits of anger are coming in fear of ending up like his half-brother. He is temperamental, but he is self aware of his lack of emotional control and tries to keep it to himself, after all he thinks anger is something that should only used on the battlefield and not among innocent people. Even if he enjoys violent acts, he keeps himself on check to be a better person. 
Seban is resents any member of the Kingsguard after failing, or rather giving up, to join after his injury. He seems to have a distaste for anyone who shows better abilities on the battlefield than him or anyone that gets the praise that he thinks he should be having, that's why he tends to act rude towards people he seems as threat, such as Jon Snow, but acts in a less rude way towards people he seems as weak, such as Sam Tarly or Alerah. He is not a nice person, often showing his discomfort when he is around anyone who is trying to start a conversation with him. 
==Relationships==
===Family===
====Roose Bolton====
Roose is the father of Seban. Since Bethany, Roose's wife and Seban's mother, died during childbirth, his father had a resentment towards him. This caused Seban to be ignored since he was a little kid, which led him to his swordfightig interest. Roose never believed in his son to become a knight, but since it made him spend most of his time away from him, he let him continue practicing. Seban was never bothered by the lack of interest from his father, he was far too busy with his own things to be bothered. 
====Ramsay Bolton====
Ramsay is the older half-brother of Seban. He was never fond of Ramsay, often making remarks of him being a bastard and taking his time to taunt him with jabs with his sword and cruel pranks. He saw himself as superior to him, sicne he was the legitimate son of Roose and the one who actually knew how to fight. Of course, Ramsay didn't stay behind and started to train as well, which made Seban furious.
Their relationship grew tense once they started training together, the two of them often taking their fights a little too far, often attacking each other and making each other bleed on purpose, but no one didn't stop them. In one of their trainings, Ramsay tried killing Seban by slitting his throat. After that accident, Seban's hatred and resentment quickly turned into fear, now trying his best to stay away from his half-brother. 
====Domeric Bolton====
Domeric was the older brother to Seba. The two lived in different words and rarely interacted, but when they did, they kept their dynamic civil. Once Domeric passed, it didn't changed much about Seban's life, but he still missed him and the anger towards Ramsay consumed him.
====Bethany Bolton====
Bethany was the mother of Seban. While Seban never got to meet her, he speaks highly of her and most of the time referring to her as if she is still with him, claiming that she is always protecting him. In her honor, he named his sword Beth. 
===Romances===
====Jon Snow====
When Jon first arrived to the Wall, Seban had a deep hatred for him, which mostly came from jealousy. All his hatred came from the fact Jon had easily beat him the first time they trained together, so Seban took it personally and decided to just use him as his personal punching bag each day, hitting him with his sword at any chance he got and even trying to bite him at some point. After spending more time with him and realising he was more of a good person that he thought, the aggression stopped, but something else grew, at least on his side. 
Seban would often threaten Jon with duels that never happened, but those were not in an attempt to scare him, but rather an attempt to get him closer. Those clearly didn't work, making Jon feel uncomfortable rather than seeing the flirty attitude. While they never got too close physically, they managed to hug a few times and Seban managed to grab the handle of Jon's sword, thinking of that as an intimate moment. 
===Others===
====Alerah Waters====
Seban and Alerah have a complex relationship. When they first met, Seban wasn't fond with Alerah, just like with everyone else. Even if he didn't seem to like her, he didn't push her away when she started to get close to him. Alerah would ramble about herself and he heard most of what she had to say, not arguing if her backgrounds were facts. He didn't push her away either when she started to get more flirty, so their relationship started to turn into a more sexually charged friendship.
The flirting quickly turned into a more physical relationship, with the two sleeping together multiple times. Seban admits to her that he is not interested in her in such way, so their dynamic turns into one that is strictly dynamic, even if Alerah flirts with him from here on now.
Alerah claims they are meant to be together, since he wishes to be a knight in the Kingsguard and she is the supposed princess next in like to the throne. He doesn't seem to be against that dynamic, defending Alerah and trying to protect her, even when she can fight for herself. 
====Sam Tarly ====
Seban seems to act annoyed whenever Sam tries to chat with him, oftem walking away or acting as if he doesn't exist. Even with his rude acts, he has grown quite fond of him, tagging along into his antics and even talking back to him, even if it is mostly insults. While Sam calls Seban the Edge Crow, Seban calls him the Pig Crow, which both are insulting, but they take it more as endearing nicknames.
====Satin ====
They are not as close as Seban is with Sam, but he doesn't mind Satin's company. The two often go along whatever antics Sam is up to so they spend most of the time together. Seban never makes any insulting comment towards Satin as a person, he often insults his fighting abilities, comparing his movements to ones of a little girl, which Satin takes as an attempt to help him get better. 
====Donnis Baratheon ====
Donnis showed interest in Seban, while Seban only showed jealousy and hatred towards him. Their first meeting wasn't long, but it managed to make enough impact on Seban for him to bring up the knight to Alerah a couple of times, saying he challenge him to a duel once they meet again and that would prove Kingsguard he was enough of a man to join them.
