Seed was an impulsive officer of the [[Highland Army]]. He had a strong preference for action over strategizing which occasionally lent him to make hasty decisions. He always fought with his sword at the forefront of battle, befitting his personality. He held great confidence in his own abilities. Although he had a passion for battle, he lacked [[Luca Blight]]'s ruthless love for slaughter. | |||
Although his hot-headed nature contrasted strongly with that of [[Culgan]], they nonetheless had a strong bond, brought about by their patriotism for the [[Highland Kingdom]]. | Although his hot-headed nature contrasted strongly with that of [[Culgan]], they nonetheless had a strong bond, brought about by their patriotism for the [[Highland Kingdom]]. Like Culgan, he was not from a prestigious military family and had worked his way up the ranks from a common soldier. He was said to be slightly superior to Culgan in terms of swordsmanship. It is said that Seed had a lover in Highland. | ||
As someone who benefited from the Highland Army's extreme meritocratic ethos himself, he held no jealousy or envy over [[Jowy Atreides]]'s rapid rise to prominence and pledged his allegiance freely and without ulterior motive. | |||

Together with Culgan, Seed was able to bring Nash down with their combination attacks but because he had been poisoned during the fight by Nash's [[Twin Snake Sword Großer Fluss]], Culgan agreed to let Nash go in exchange for the antidote, disregarding Luca's orders. | ||
[[File:Seed and Culgan lay defeated.png|thumb|right|220px|I guess the ol' razzle-dazzle fizzle-fazzle'd...]] | |||
As the war continued, Seed and Culgan came to feel that [[Luca Blight]]'s continued presence would bring catastrophe to the Highland Kingdom. Thus, in [[Greenhill City]], just after they had warned [[Rowd]] off of seeking revenge against his former subordinate, Seed pledged his sword to [[Jowy Atreides]] in order to protect Highland. | |||
However, although Jowy would overthrow Luca and Seed would continue to serve to the best of his abilities under King Jowy's rule as commander of the 4th Highland Army, in the end Highland would fall and Seed perished alongside Culgan in [[L'Renouille Palace]] attempting to fight off the [[New State Army]]. | |||
They both knew that the battle was decided and Highland had fallen but were nonetheless determined to protect what they believed in until the end. As he died, he held onto his joy in serving his country, having lived his life with no regrets. | |||
