Seth was Kane's second in command, and the first superior of the future Commander of Nod during the First Tiberium War, who takes his name from the biblical Seth, the third son of Adam. Seth provided briefings for lower ranking Nod officers.

He was an ambitious man, wary of other competent commanders with such a trait, who irritated him. This becomes evident when Seth passes the order to an up-and-coming commander to destroy a civilian village, and remarks that there should be only scientists lurking about, while in reality, there's a fully staffed GDI base in the vicinity. Given Nod's intelligence gathering skills, this is intended misinformation. Seth later tried to send the commander to attack Washington, D.C., an act that "even Kane knew nothing of". Obviously planning a coup, it was also likely that Seth planned for the Commander to fail in the attack, thus eliminating a rival. Before the Commander could embark upon his mission, Seth was shot in the head by Kane, who cancelled the suicidal attack.

Instead of simply being disposed of in some manner, his corpse was kept perfectly preserved inside a machine, as a warning to anyone who would dare circumvent Kane's authority. Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker found his preserved body while attempting to kill Elena Petrova and rescue Sydney Moebius. Presumably Seth's body was lost in the destruction of the Temple of Nod at Cairo when the First Tiberium War came to its close.

[edit] Biblical Seth

In Abrahamic tradition, Seth was born after the killing of Abel by Cain. Seth was legendarily long-lived; and fathered many children, being the ancestor to righteous ones.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

Seth was played by Eric Gooch.
