==Background==
In 2161, Seth leads the security force, serving as captain, posted at the main entrance of Shady Sands. In addition to maintaining order and safety, he greets newcomers and points them in the direction of Aradesh, the town's leader who wishes to meet new all new visitors.Seth: "{206}{}{You should speak to Aradesh, our leader. He likes to meet all of our visitors. He should be in our Town Hall, the building to the south.}"(Seth's dialogue) Seth also gauges potential threats and requests all visitors to follow the town's laws, such as the holstering of weapons.Seth: "{1108}{}{That is me. I work with Aradesh to make sure everyone is safe.}"(Seth's dialogue)Seth: "{204}{}{Welcome to Shady Sands, stranger. Please holster that weapon while you are here.}"(Seth's dialogue) 
Seth shows respect for the town's leader, and likewise Aradesh speaks favorably about the captain.Seth: "{1107}{}{He is the leader of our community, and a true hero. You can always find him at work in the communal hall.}"(Seth's dialogue)Aradesh: "{275}{Ara_73}{Go talk to Seth about that. He'll know more than I.}"(Aradesh's dialogue) The elder describes Seth's continued efforts to repel threats and attacks from raiders and mentions that Seth is someone who assists him in keeping an eye on those the townspeople do not yet trust.Aradesh: "{1115}{Ara_52}{A fine young man, Seth. Captain of our guards. He is likely to be at the Guard House.}"(Aradesh's dialogue)Aradesh: "{121}{Ara_4}{Yes, hmmm, yes, yes. yes. I shall believe you...for now. But we do not trust easily, especially those who might be dangerous. Know that Seth and I will be watching you.}"(Aradesh's dialogue) 
Aradesh holds Seth in such high esteem that he considered the guard leader to be a suitable match for his daughter.Tandi: "{188}{TAND_47}{Seth's the captain of the guards. My father tried to set us up once, but he is not my type.}"(Tandi's dialogue) Tandi declined, stating Seth isn't her type, but Seth refers to her as his "girl" in an unguarded moment with the Vault Dweller, before correcting himself.Seth: "{300}{}{Thank Dharma you're here wanderer. My girl . . . uh, Tandi, Aradesh's daughter, has been kidnapped. We believe the raiders have her.}"(Seth's dialogue) His younger brother Jarvis shares information about his brother, professing Seth's devotion to the welfare of their village and his proficiency as a fighter.Jarvis: "{110}{}{Seth's a very good fighter. He's very determined. A little too much, sometimes. Still, he's devoted to the welfare of our village.}"(Jarvis' dialogue)Jarvis: "{105}{}{Thank you so much for helping me. My name is Jarvis, and I'm Seth's younger brother. Please, if there's anything you need to know, just ask.}"(Jarvis' dialogue)
In his role as leader of the town guard, Seth actively organizes the efforts of the security team including Ian, planning for initiatives outside of the city limits.Seth: "{123}{}{There are several groups of raiders. I organize guards like Ian to help fight them off. There is one band to the southeast of here. Watch out for them.}"(Seth's dialogue) This group works together to eliminate ongoing threats from creatures such as finding and eradicating a nearby source of radscorpions.Jarvis: "{104}{}{Hello. I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling too well right now. Please, if you can help find a way to fight the radscorpions, talk to my brother, Seth.}"(Jarvis' dialogue)Seth's character description: "{100}{}{You see Seth, the guide back to Shady Sands.}"(Seth's dialogue) Seth is also trusted with initiatives of the utmost importance, such as the mission to rescue Tandi from a raider gang who abducted her.Aradesh: "{235}{Ara_40}{Seth and I believe one of the raider clans is responsible - retribution for our resistance to them. Take this spear. It was found where my daughter was last seen.}"The Vault Dweller: "{236}{}{Okay, I'll check it out.}"(Aradesh's dialogue)
At some point, Seth went with Aradesh to look for Vault 13, however both men disappeared and were presumed dead.Tandi: "{315}{tand14b}{My dad and Seth searched for years trying to find Vault 13. They died looking - always said it was west of here. If somebody were to find Vault 13, that'd do us even better than 15.}"(Tandi's dialogue in Fallout 2) Seth is posthumously revered in the New California Republic, retroactively honored and remembered as the "First Ranger" of the NCR Rangers and is immortalized on the state currency with his portrait appearing on the NCR $20 bill.
