History Characters / GenshinImpactSumeru

* {{Irony}}: Ancient Sumeru was founded peacefully and jointly ruled by three gods. Where most of Teyvat's gods turned their swords on one another for the right to become their lands' Archon, Sumeru's god-kings never did. Even after Deshret and Rukkhadevata had a falling out after Nabu Malikata's death, they merely went their separate ways instead of pursuing active war with each other [[spoiler:and eventually joined hands one final time to contain an outbreak of Forbidden Knowledge unleashed by Deshret]]. It's bitterly ironic then that modern Sumeru is so heavily fraught with ethnic and religious tension, its former gods' friendship buried underneath centuries if not millennia of racial strife between the peoples of the Dharma Forest and the Great Red Sand.

* {{Foil}}: So far he has a lot of contrasting elements to Cyno, who is established to be a rival in his introductory trailer. Both have an Electro vision, tanned skin, and hail from the desert of Sumeru. Cyno has fewer clothes and is predominantly black and purple, while Sethos clothes cover him more and his color palette is mainly whites and yellows. Cyno has white hair and red eyes, while Sethos has dark brown hair with cream tips and bright green eyes. Cyno uses a polearm as his main weapon and his fighting style has a lot of direct contact with the enemy, while Sethos is seen to be a bow wielder in his drip marketing.

* MythicalMotifs: If his name containing "Seth" is anything to go off of, he might have one of Set, Egyptian gods of deserts, storms, and violence.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Arana sacrifices his memories to produce the Bijia needed to heal Rana, and is unable to recognise the Traveller and Paimon immediately afterwards, nor recall anything about his past friendship with Rana upon reuniting with her.]]

* TheNavigator: Sethos' drip marketing story states that he's known for his gift for navigation, which he honed through a combination of his desert upbringing and spending his time exploring both it and the rainforests. He'll often [[GoodSamaritan help travellers who get separated from their companions in the desert find their way]] using these skills.
