Seth

"I'm Seth. Just Seth. From God, to Kane, to Seth."

- Seth

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

Background
Seth's ambition and ruthlessness in combat earned him a place as Kane's second in command. He could be a powerful ally, but Nod commanders were warned to never trust him fully.

Seth 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 misinformation was deliberate. 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 on his mission, Seth was shot in the head by Kane during the video call, who cancelled the suicidal attack order right afterwards.

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 in Cairo when the First Tiberium War came to its close.

Behind the scenes

 * 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.
 * Seth was played by Eric Gooch.
 * Seth is a selectable commander in Command & Conquer: Rivals. He is able to deploy flame troopers anywhere on the battlefield via drill pod.
 * Despite Seth's famous introduction as "Seth, just Seth", the German game ending video credits the German voice actor for the role of "Uriah Seth". Logically, the only place where the German team could have gotten this name was the original script they received for translation.
