Personality: A rather selfish anarchist egged on by his backseat driving demons, Seth has grown to hate authority and bakes to have anyone tell him what to do. This is somewhat ironic, considering the 3 creatures on his back guiding his actions and decisions. Despite his ambitions to become more powerful and get revenge on the Ps he is ultimately rather lazy and needs often needs to be goaded into action by his demons. They are quite the snarky asshole and because they are a master, in combat they get a lot of chances to taunt, insult and mock their opponents while the Devil’s do the real cap business.

History:

Seth is a second generation cape, born the child of a pair of international thieves at the height of their careers. While they often left him to go out to engage in their villainous exploits, his parents made sure their child grew up in the lap of luxury, funded through their stolen wealth. They’d break into a vault, get chased around by the local heros and even if one got caught the other would inevitably break their partner out of prison and then the two would disappear with their ill gotten gains. Eventually however, when Seth was 8, the law caught up with both of them at once. They were tried and sent to the bird cage, the most maximum of maximum security prisons from which no-one has ever escaped. A few days later the people his parents had payed to look after Seth handed the boy over to the authorities and he ended up in the american foster system.

At some point in the next few years the stress and confusion experienced from having his parents taken away triggered the boy, but it wasn't until he was 11 that he recognised that his imaginary friends he was using to deal with his loneliness where more real than he thought as 3 of them became dominant and managed to physically manifest themselves. They were the petty and spiteful Envy who was fueled by his desire to get back at the PTR for taking his parents away as well as their envy of their power, the scheming and selfish Avarice, sourced from the desire for the life this parents had let him live and the quiet and relaxed Sloth, who was Seth’s respite from the other two’s permanent goading to action.

At 16 the 3 had finally grown powerful enough that Envy and Greed convinces Seth to run away from his latest foster family and make his own way in the world. Over the next few years Seth graduated from pickpocketing and vandalism to being a minor thorn in the protectorate/P.T.Rs side, showing up out of nowhere during their operations, causing a nuisance and then vanishing again. That said, following his parent’s example, he is yet to actually kill anyone who wasn’t trying to kill him first(though he has done plenty of maiming) and as a result has managed to avoid being actively hunted across the states as he slowly grows his friends power.

Their cross country meandering has brought Seth and his demons to Boston, where they hope that they can take advantage of the chaos, both for profit and to fuck over the Protectorate some more.



Master 6

Seth has 3 entities, demonic in appearance and mannerism, at his beck and call. These can be summoned at any time to aid him with their own powers, simply by saying their name/nickname. The strength of these beings has been growing steadily over time as Seth indulges in their respective vices. They cannot be killed, but if sufficiently damaged they will unsummon themselves to recover from their wounds (they generally take a day to recover). There's only two big problems with them: their incessant chittering even when not summoned and the fact that they can't move from behind his back. The three demons are as follows, helpfully modeled by satanic mooks.







The other 4 vices do exist, but are ruthlessly suppressed by Greed and Envy. They consider Lust and Gluttony disruptive to their ambitions as they would appeal to Seth’s hedonism (sloth is already bad enough) and they believe Pride and Wrath would drive their host to suicidally reckless actions. Seth isn’t actively aware of this particular state of affairs and the pair intend to keep it that way.
