Seth (セス Sesu) is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing as the main antagonist of Street Fighter IV. He is the CEO of Shadaloo's weapon division, S.I.N., and one of many genetically engineered replacement bodies for M. Bison. Seth also becomes playable in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, with a female form becoming his default.
Appearance[]
Seth is an artificial-intelligence designed to inhabit synthetic humanoid bodies that possess a Tanden Engine. As noted by Capcom-Unity, Seth is genderless[5] (the second playable character with this known distinction after Twelve), but is generally referred to as a "he".
In the abdomen, enclosed inside a pattern consisting of the Eight Trigrams of Taoist cosmology known as the Taijitu, is an exposed area, which contains a rotating sphere known as the Tanden Engine, which appears to be his source of his power. His eye and skin color changes to yellow and black respectively, when the Tanden Engine is activated.
In Street Fighter V, Seth has an entirely different appearance; having a body based off of a muscular female physique, with a face heavily resembling that of Juri. This body is known as "Doll Unit Zero". The skin is predominantly a metallic polished silver with smaller black areas separated by glowing orange lines, has very long black hair with a unique hairstyle, tied in a high ponytail along with a single large undorned ox horn, to have it bear resemblance to an aureole or divine halo or tenne, and amber eyes. Although Seth now has a feminine appearance, their voice remains unchanged.
Doll Unit Zero does not seem to exhibit the ability to stretch its limbs as the previously used body was capable of, but displays a previously unseen ability to rapidly increase and decrease its muscle mass according to the move being used.
Personality[]
Seth is just as intelligent as M. Bison himself, with ruthlessness and evil to match. Unlike M. Bison, Seth is generally very calm and concise, though he displays a fair bit of arrogance, often through his annoying-by-design tendency to laugh and gloat when using his more powerful moves. Seth also demonstrates a deep knowledge of the philosophy of human nature and the pursuits of purpose and self-awareness. This unusual trait, coupled with his endless thirst for power, implies that Seth intends to become his own entity entirely and not be bound to M. Bison as his replacement shell. Notably, while Seth appears to be the only "sentient" enhanced being, his Arcade Mode win quote against another Seth implies that at least one other clone may have developed self-awareness.
However, his desire for power and his philosophical pursuits are a one-sided and neutral affair; he displays very little (if any) morality or respect for life, and values people only for their usefulness to him. Due in part to his ego, Seth will keep his S.I.N. subordinates in the dark in case they plan to betray him - insubordination is something he refuses to tolerate.
Seth is of the belief that any power is good power, as indicated during his fight with Ryu in Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind.[6] In addition, despite his philosophical leanings, Seth displays rather pragmatic, in addition, to overly skeptical and cynical displays of disbelief in more intrinsic and spiritual views on life; his Arcade Mode win quote against Dhalsim states that if the latter's techniques were truly mystic, he could not possibly imitate them.
In Street Fighter V, due to serious systematic errors that occurs with the integration of his brain and the body of Doll Unit Zero, Seth's personality is drastically affected, showing signs of severe psychosis. He becomes obsessed with hunting down M. Bison to the point that he becomes delusional, resulting in mistaking both Falke and Ed (due to their exposure to and use of Psycho Power) as Bison during their confrontation.
