"*You ran away from your destiny once... Why return to the Hollow Night now?*" - Seth

## Profile

### Background

The progeny of the original Night Blade clansmen, who chose to stick to their traditions and remain operating in secrecy. Seth is a member of one of these families who reluctantly carries out his people's wishes by putting down Voids out in the Night as penance for his peoples' mistakes. 10 years ago when Seth was still young, he encountered Linne in a different body known as Chitose, as well as her bodyguard Waldstein and vowed to save her, but was unable to given that he lacked the abilities to truly kill her.

By the time after entering his first year at the same high school as Hyde Kido, Carmine Prime and Orie Ballardiae, Seth aimlessly fulfilled the duties to this day until he was given a chance from a mysterious benefactor who revealed himself to be Bloody Chaos of Amnesia, used a middle-man to deliver him the Eliminators, the weapons that could potentially help him keep his promise to Linne. In exchange, however, Seth takes up a new job as an assassin hunting out specific groups of In-Births on orders, while also searching for the Princess of the Night Blade to finally close the book on his promise. Chaos himself does not know where he got it from and deliver it to Seth.

### Personality

Seth is an extremely serious individual and never shows any emotion beyond stoicism. Although his cold attitude may come off as insensitive, he is greatly burdened by the mistakes of his ancestor and feels that if he fulfills Linne's wish for death, he can redeem his family name and free himself of the past. In Yuzuriha's story, her optimistic way of life despite her family's history briefly causes Seth to question his path and his individuality.

Seth does attend school and has above average grades. He's bad at communicating and tries to avoid contact with his classmates in order to keep them from "getting involved". His presence is rarely noted in the classroom and Seth pretty much free to come and go as he pleases. He lives alone and it skilled with all the housework as he has been helping his family since he was young.

## Abilities

Seth's ability is the "EXS of Excavation" (穿鎖のEXS): Kerykeion (ケーリュケイオン). It allows him to create "chains" that pierce the opponent's flow of EXS and temporary seal their abilities. It is an extremely rare ability. It's effect could directly be applied to a weapon, but Seth unfortunately lacks the skill to harness his ability in this way. Instead, Seth developed his whole fighting style around the way in which it's easiest for him to use his ability. That's how he ended up with his current style of creating small balls that shoot the "chains" in the midst of Seth's high-speed sword attacks.

Seth was entrusted with the Twin Swords: Eliminator (双剣・エリミネーター) from Kuon as a part of his deal with Chaos. The other name of the blades is the Indulgence of Elimination (封滅の免罪符). Their relation to Hyde's sword with a similar name haven't been explained yet, but they are told to have to the opposite power to that of Hyde's sword. Before getting the Indulgence Weapon, Seth is told to have had expertise in a normal pair of daggers during his time of assassinating.

So far, Seth has displayed abilities in moving within the shadows along with basic stealth skills, and is able control a small level of darkness in the form of either creating a mote that fires a stunning arrow or an afterimage. Most of the time he focuses on his agility to be able to cleanly cut down his target with finesse and speed.
