Seth

Seth is a character from The King of Fighters series. He made his first appearance in the series as a Striker in The King of Fighters '99 Evolution, and made his playable debut in The King of Fighters 2000 as a member of the Benimaru Team.

His official nickname is "The Secret Agent".

Development
Seth was created along with Vanessa, though Seth became the visual model for her. Developers wished to have a character with "the powerful image of a big, dark, middle-aged man with a Mohawk haircut". Seth's prototype name was "Dick". Ureshino explains that he was added to the KOF: Maximum Impact series over other agent characters due to his professional and focused attitude.

Personality
Seth is a good man engaging in a dangerous line of work. Methodical and straight to the point, he completes his missions with the ease of a true professional. He will faithfully obey any orders from his superiors and protect his family at all costs. Even then, Seth can at times be lighthearted enough to fake a finishing blow towards his fallen foes.

Powers

 * Sense - Seth can sense the presence of people nearby.
 * Vacuum - Seth's punches are so strong they create a vacuum around the areas he strikes.
 * Scramble senses - One of Seth's more powerful abilities is to be able to land a blow upon his foe that discombobulates their sense of direction for a short period of time.

Fighting Style
As Seth himself says, his fighting style is mostly made up self-defensive techniques.
