Seton was a Centaur druid from the Krosan forest on Dominaria.[1][2] A master healer and competent warrior, he was the Krosan centaurs' emissary to the outside world, as well as an accomplished pit fighter.[3]
Description
Seton was huge, towering over the other competitors waiting for their matches. He stood at least half again as high as Kamahl. His features were simian with glimpses of fangs showing as he breathed through his mouth. The lower body was catlike in its sleekness, but in sheer size, it was more like a dray house. The fur over the body looked short and coarse. The barbarian could see the play of huge muscles under its hide as the creature shifted. The gigantic club in the centaur's hands was a mass of wood and banded iron. A small granite boulder capped the end.[4]
History
He was also a talented warrior and so was sent to Cabal City by Thriss to investigate the source of the magical disturbances centered there. In his pit fights, he relied primarily on the natural strength and speed of his race to overpower his opponents, although his druidic training meant that he was also a capable green magic user. Whilst he could appear savage and wild in combat, he also had a wise and contemplative side to his personality that earned him the respect of many of his fellow fighters. His philosophy for the pits was that they embodied the system of survival of the fittest and that, therefore, if he lost, it was simply part of the natural cycle.
He first met the barbarian warrior Kamahl in a pit fight, where the two became good friends after they teamed up to defeat a powerful dementia creature, and Kamahl saved the centaur's life. When Kamahl left pit-fighting behind to pursue the Mirari, Seton aided him, knowing it was the source of the disturbance he had been sent to investigate. Seton become embroiled in the Battle for the Mirari when the pair tracked its bearer, Lieutenant Kirtar, to Krosa, where the aven commander was insanely attacking the forest. There, Seton and Kamahl also encountered Ambassador Laquatus' bodyguard, Turg, who attacked them. Seton wrestled with the anurid warrior and almost bested him, but Turg intentionally vomited in Seton's face, nearly blinding the centaur with his acidic bile. As a result, Seton had to stay in Krosa to recover while Kamahl continued to track the Mirari.
Much later, Seton would cross Kamahl's path again after the barbarian, in a fit of Mirari-induced rage, near-lethally stabbed his sister Jeska.[5] While Kamahl journeyed to the center of Krosa to gain control of himself and get rid of the Mirari, he left his sister in Seton's care, where the centaur used his druidic knowledge to try to heal her. However, when Kamahl returned to the centaur's home, he found that Seton had been murdered and Jeska abducted by the Cabal forces that had pursued him, led by Braids.
