CHARACTERISTICS
The hacker, characterized by his spiky blonde hair, glasses and a conspicuous goatee on his chin. Known for his motormouth that often gets him into trouble and which also provides for a variety of conversational tangents. Seth is childish but sharp: he binds intelligence and originality together with genius. He likes literature, especially fiction (mostly comics). He is spontaneous and knows how to take advantage of every situation with humor. Those who know Seth quite well might describe him as having an overly extensive general knowledge, such as shown by his comments regarding various details of anecdotal knowledge but also being immature especially in moments of great stress. He’s a talker and occasionally interrupts in his excitement, but he is a curious person who does want to hear what others have to say, and that is a real pleasure. In fact, he is more able than most people to get others talking, simply because he is very receptive and sympathetic. He can be lost around women he finds attractive. When in their presence, he activates this false confidence, which sometimes comes across as sleazy or a sign of overcompensating. He hasn’t quite gotten a handle on being as socially smooth. His saving grace is his ability to turn others on with his witty quips, grand moral schemes, and his clumsy flirtatious behavior. There are some that find these aspects endearing. He is attracted to people in love with life, but more so women who are dangerous. Someone who can learn to look past his awkwardness, and avoid cornering him or forcing him to commit is more likely to last, although he does envision a more traditional venue for a relationship than what his behavior and words may sometimes suggest. Background Seth always did have a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. Growing up he was a daydreamer and idealist. It was easy for him to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in as unsavory types. He sought to identify with something beyond what was normally expected of him. His childhood didn't help him direct or define his life, common possibly for those raised by a single mother who was always emotionally absent. Even more so having an early family life lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules, it was a wonder he didn’t manage to get into more trouble than he generally caused. Having never met his father, and never having figurative replacement he designed his own glorified image of who his real father was. Sometimes he imagined his father was an infamous super villain who couldn’t contact them or else he’d risk being caught by some pesky caped crusader, while other times his perspectives took on a more heroic ideal. Each theory was more irrational than the next, and of course nowhere near the truth. A life like this, it would have been easy being led astray by desires or self-destructive habits. Especially when deep down he felt tossed aside and neglected. Although these emotions mixed with a naturally competitive personality acted as a firewall to the trivial distractions that may have prevented him from becoming successful in his craft. Often quite adept at fitting in with others, Seth could be quite expressive and animated in your speech. Just as much then, as he is today. The young man always had an outstanding memory and could pick up a lot of information from his environment. Enough so that he kept an outstanding record of top marks from elementary, middle school, and high school. College was his true home, the geek loved to chat and to exchange ideas. Even if he was shy, once he on a subject he felt passionately about Seth became a motor-mouth. He was never short on humor. Was and is a playful and versatile--companion and an interesting friend. This energy along with his intellect may have been the key to watch put him in the crosshairs of a demon. Seth’s encounter with the infernal was brief; he and a classmate were kidnapped in an attempt to use their beautiful minds to solve a puzzle box. It was clear they weren’t the first ones to tackle the enigmatic item, and when it looked as though Seth and his friend’s lives were on the line Seth was driven to act. Toby, Seth’s friend and captive-mate distracted the demon, while Seth decapitated the monster. Processing this event was going to take some time for both men. Seth went off the grid after graduation, but several online personalities that he has hinted at identifying with surfaced around this time. Whether or not he was involved or may have been these identities remains to be seen. Self-proclaimed insomniac and dedicated to aiding every hunter he can, Seth is still accessible via computers even when he manages to sleep. One identity linked but not confirmed was “Anarky”, a legendary computer hacker, who performed numerous scams and hacks on major corporations still held in awe today, until one scam brought him too close to a Supernatural conflict almost sending him into "retirement.” Anarky instead disappeared while hackers around the world were being caught and killed after accidentally hacking into the private computers of a demonic cult intent on raising a demon lord. Seth resurfaced and took it upon himself to personally investigate their murders, He met Garrett Ransom, and the two began working together. Seth's help proved invaluable to Ransom working not just as a hacker and cyber-investigator but also helping Ransom manage and transfer his finances, set up and equip safehouses, train in more "specialized" skills useful for his war on the Supernatural, and obtain harder-to-get ammunition and equipment. Less obsessed with the war, Seth also acted as a defacto counseler to Ransom, encouraging him to take occasional vacations and breaks so as not to get burned out or crazed.
