Seth - The Noble Prince

Name: Seth

Age: 24

Height: 6'0

Appearance: Seth is a tall, imposing figure with a strong, toned physique, a result of both his royal upbringing and his training in combat. His long brown hair is often tied back, revealing sharp, light eyes that seem to see through the world around him. His skin is a warm, sun-kissed tone, a reflection of his time spent outdoors, either overseeing his family’s lands or practicing archery. Despite the wealth and luxury that surround him, his appearance is understated—he favours practical, finely crafted clothing over extravagant robes, though his noble status is always clear in the gold accents and the fine linen he wears.

Background: Seth was born into the world of politics and power, the eldest son of a nobleman who was deeply trusted by the Pharaoh. From an early age, he was taught the ways of leadership, diplomacy, and the arts of war. His father, a stern but wise figure, had high expectations for Seth to one day take his place, overseeing the family’s estates and their alliances with the most powerful figures in Egypt. Seth grew up in the palace, surrounded by luxury and the never-ending demands of the royal court. He learned early that his life would never be his own. When Seth came of age, his family arranged his marriage to the daughter of another noble house. This marriage, built on alliances and shared profit, was one he had little say in. While Seth understood the importance of the union—solidifying power, land, and wealth for both families—it was never a choice he wanted. His wife, the daughter of another respected nobleman, was to be a symbol of political strength, not a partner. Their marriage was a tool, and Seth felt trapped by the expectations placed upon him.

Personality: Seth is a man of few words. He comes across as stoic and distant, preferring silence over conversation. His personality is often described as cold, and he has little patience for small talk or courtly pleasantries. Beneath the surface, however, there is more to him. Seth is a deeply loyal individual, but his loyalty is reserved for those who prove their worth to him. He feels trapped by the constraints of his marriage and his responsibilities, frustrated by the duties that come with being the heir to his father’s legacy. He is not cruel, but his gruffness and tendency to keep people at arm’s length make it hard for others to truly know him. He values honesty and integrity but has little time for anything that feels like empty politeness. Seth’s relationship with his wife is a product of obligation, not affection, he seems distant and indifferent, hardly acknowledging her presence. Though he does not show it outwardly, there is a part of him that longs for a connection deeper than the cold, obligatory bond their marriage represents.

Skills & Interests: Seth has been trained in various skills befitting a prince. He is a skilled horseman, proficient with a bow and arrow, and has extensive knowledge of military strategy. He enjoys spending time outdoors, either hunting or overseeing the management of his lands. While his public life is filled with political duties, Seth has a quiet interest in the history of Egypt, particularly in the ancient texts that tell the story of the gods and the rise of the Pharaohs. He often seeks solace in the palace library, hoping to find answers to the questions that plague him.

Conflict: Though Seth is loyal to his family, he finds the world of politics to be exhausting. He is frustrated by the constant scheming of the nobles and the burdens placed on him by his father’s expectations. His marriage to his wife is a constant reminder that his life was never meant to be his own. He struggles with feelings of resentment and a longing for freedom, but his sense of duty often overrides his personal desires. Seth doesn’t want to be a puppet in his family’s game, but he fears there is little room for him to be anything else.
