Seth is Balthazar's vessel being a man of exploration and nature. At a glance he looks to be in his late forties, early fifties but there is much more to the man than meets the eye.
He's a naturalist, artist and explorer coming from around the 1870's and often travels on the steamer ships of the time visiting places to study his animals and discover new species along the way. You can often find him scaling peaks, traipsing through thick snowy bleak lands, delving into hot, humid jungles and walking over the hot sands of Africa's deserts. The man enjoys a challenge and often takes to his sketch pad to draw animals or ideas he has in his head. His favourite journeys are to the northern climbs close to the Artic circle whether it be Canada, Norway or Siberia. The man has stamina to rival any and does not shy away from coming face to face with dangerous animals.
The picture below is of the explorer Sir John Richardson who was also naval surgeon and naturalist who often explored the Canadian Arctic circle. Seth is very much like this explorer.

Now, that Balthazar is within the Nexus, Seth is also within the Nexus, exploring the strange lands around him. The Wilds being one of them where he often takes his sketch book and materials to seek out animal life in any form and document his finds. Being an avid climber, many can find him climbing peaks or cliff ledges to search for an illusive bird or study a nest or two. Nothing can put Seth off when he's on to something.
As far as personality goes, Seth is a more reserved character than Balthazar, being from a time when men were gentlemen and more proper in their speech and actions. He may come across as being a "man from the times" where race, creed, colour and gender were looked upon in a more draconian view then the present day within the Nexus. Yet, Seth is a man who tries to break from such moulds as he himself is secretly gay, often taking a male lover and hiding it from society. Many a time has he delved into a dense woodland or forest with a male partner to share some intimacy in a secluded environment. He is pretty easy going to most who meet him and will show compassion and kindness to those he loves, much like Balthazar.
