Seth Briars

• ◆Seth is Rob Wiethoff's favorite character in Red Dead Redemption.
• ◆Seth doesn't like living people, especially women. He has been driven to lose all faith in others because of his obsession with treasure and Moses' betrayal. You can gain insight into this by what he says during your first mission with him, "Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies", which was, "I don't have the facility to tell you, what I would have done for that man", Of course referring to Moses, and "I don't like women partner, I don't, Not since mammy died." Although Seth mentions that he dislikes women, he appears to be very emotional about the death of his mother. It is possible that his hatred originated at the time of her death that and his wife leaving him as well. His dialogue suggests that he dislikes women because of their ability to die and leaving him.
• ◆The Blackwater Ledger repeatedly reports on Briars' actions as a serial grave robber, noting public outrage at the desecration of local graveyards. However, the paper credits Moses Forth as the perpetrator of these crimes.
• ◆Ironically, when interviewed about his discovery of the treasure in Tall Trees, Seth claimed that he has no connections to Moses.
• ◆Some of Seth's dialogue seems to indicate that he suffers from some sort of split-personality disorder.
• ◆Ironically, during Seth's last mission he walks right by the actual treasure in the basement. He passes right by the third treasure of the Treasure Hunter Challenge, unless the player has already acquired that treasure, then he passes over nothing of value.
• ◆In the short film The Man From Blackwater, Seth finds his treasure (a glass eye) in Fort Mercer as opposed to finding it in Tumbleweed while doing the mission "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead".
• ◆It is implied in the GameStop Undead Nightmare preview that Seth may have unintentionally caused the Undead plague by stealing the Glass Eye in his last mission "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead". However, this is later proven to be incorrect.
• ◆The same reason is assumed to why the undead never attack Seth. It is a theory amongst fans that the glass eye gives Seth immunity to attacks from the undead.
• ◆At the end of Seth's mission in Undead Nightmare "Get Back in that Hole, Partner", although it is not possible to shoot the undead Seth is dancing with, you can shoot the lantern above them which will set one on fire causing the others to attack.
• ◆The same is true with Undead Bait. It will cause Moses to attack Seth, who will then shoot him. If you try and shoot Moses, Seth will end up shooting you, and is then killable. Also, if you run over the zombies mounted on War, they will start burning and Seth will run away; then, you can shoot him.
• ◆When John Marston searches the corpses of undead he will sometimes say "Seth, I'm sorry about all the insults". He may also say "Seth, finally I've joined you", or "Seth, how do you enjoy this?".
• ◆In the Red Dead Redemption artwork of Seth, he appears to be slightly more healthy - he has longer and thicker hair.
• ◆While sitting at a campfire, John can hear a story about an entire family gunned down at Tumbleweed (possibly by police or federal agents). The man at the fire mentions that all of their possessions were destroyed, except for a glass eye. This is likely the same glass eye found by Seth at Tumbleweed, and would also explain its mystical connection to the undead in the non-canon DLC.
• ◆Despite his insanity, in Undead Nightmare he is the first one to inform Marston of what really caused the plague while everyone else just comes up with random theories. Also, he seems to have figured out a way to tame the Undead, such as having them dance or play the violin.
• ◆In Undead Nightmare, when Seth is playing cards, the player can make his chair fall on the ground by walking into him. Going into his shack and then get out of it, Seth will be sitting in the air.
• ◆Although Seth states he would end his obsession with the dead in his final mission of the regular game, Seth shows much affection and attachment to the zombies in Undead Nightmare. However, this was to be expected in a way since Seth doesn't bother to change his clothes or wash at all after completing "Get Back in That Hole, Partner".
• ◆Seth and West Dickens are the only un-infected major characters in Undead Nightmare who do not combat the undead in any way.
• ◆If the player fails enough times during the ride in "Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies", Seth will talk about how the only thing he has eaten in several days is a dead crow, and how it (and everything else) tasted like the piglet that his father killed when he was a kid.
• ◆His nickname, Seth of the Dead, is presumably a reference to the movie Shaun of the Dead.
• ◆In Ancient Egypt, Seth was the name of the god associated with (among other things) desert and disorder, traits found also in the grave robber; Nigel West Dickens also mentions, during "Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans", that his friend would have been respected in that period.
• ◆Like most other major characters in Undead Nightmare, after the story is completed, Seth cannot be found anywhere.
• ◆His last name is never mentioned at all in either games.
• ◆There is an unused PED model for Seth for Red Dead Online found in the game files. It shares a face model with John Marston, albeit, slightly altered.
• ◆He seems to resemble Gollum from the Lord of the Rings franchise in personality and appearance to some extent.
