Description
Seto is a lean, muscular young man with distinctive wavy white hair cut to medium length and crimson eyes. His childhood featured long, straight hair and a vaguely feminine appearance. He typically wears a dark, fitted robe over a blouse and pants, paired with black boots, and carries both a dagger and a gun on his belt.
Born from an affair between the previous King of Galgada and Priestess Mejeh, Seto's existence was hidden by his mother to avoid shame. After her death, the Temple Head, obsessed with Mejeh, raised him in isolation. This guardian alternated between praising Seto as Mejeh's son and violently abusing him as the "son of the vile King," cutting him to "release the wicked King's blood" or denying him sustenance. To survive the trauma, Seto sealed away his emotions, developing an unfulfilled death wish.
At age nine, a temple informant revealed Seto, leading palace officials to claim him. The Temple Head pleaded with Seto to stay before jumping to his death from the roof, an event Seto witnessed that profoundly impacted his worldview. The site was later abandoned and named the "Temple of Blood."
Taken to the palace as a prince, Seto remained silent and withdrawn. His exceptional combat skills emerged, leading to warrior training. By twelve, he fought in battle, displaying fearlessness and slaughtering hundreds of enemies.
Seto presents as cold, haughty, and cruel. He demands distance, ignores servants' suffering, and psychologically torments potential brides for political gain, a demeanor stemming from his sealed emotions. He adheres to a personal code, killing only betrayers or direct threats. His sole emotional attachment is to his white bird companion, Neena, whom he considers his only friend.
Nina's persistent efforts to understand him gradually break through his barriers. He tolerates her, later warming to her after she requests he care for her as he does Neena. He becomes protective and nearly affectionate, sharing his past, falling in love, and indirectly confessing his feelings. This change softens his general demeanor.
After discovering Nina's betrayal—using him to protect another man she loves—Seto relapses into cold rage, rejecting love entirely. He resolves to kill Nina and himself but finds he cannot. This failure triggers a catatonic state to prevent harming her.
Emerging from catatonia, Seto intervenes to save Nina when she is abandoned and vulnerable. He evolves into a protective figure, accepting his feelings again and increasingly valuing others' emotions, particularly Nina's. This marks a shift toward a warmer, more supportive persona.
Seto avoids eating sweets.
