Seth Briars

"I dont Like Women, Mr Marston, not since mammy died."

- Seth Briars

Seth Briars is major character and ally in Red Dead Redemption. Briars is characterized as a dirty, crazy, old prospector who is obsessed with Treasure. Trapped within his obsession, Seth has allowed his health to deteriorate; he appears emaciated and pale with very fine hair, which is clearly falling out, and claims that he has not bathed in 6 months. During one of the trailers, Seth tells John Marston that he doesn't "like women", which could mean he is a homosexual. Another possibility is that the statement is meant to emphasize Seth's increasing paranoia and insanity. At one point he indicates that he will have satin sheets and Parisian whores once his treasure is found.

During one of Seths first missions, on the way to benedict point, Seth says:

(In his normal voice)Have you looked in the cave Seth'..... (in a high pitched shrill voice)no... it's too dark'

This could indicate that Seth suffers from Schizophrenia or has multiple personalitles.
