Editing Seth Belanger (section)

==Chronology==
He insulted Nicolette whilst in Alexander's office, angering [[Alexander Belanger|Alexander]] who forced him to leave. He later went after [[Nicolette Belanger|Nicolette]] and threatened her, she retaliated by setting an Omen of Discord on him.

During the fight for the school [[Lawrence Bristow|Bristow]] tried to turn Alexander's apprentices, for Seth he offered him five-hundred and thirty thousand dollars, a position in another family with a daughter he could marry and an easy job involving little effort.<ref>“Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars, respect, a position in another family, who have a daughter a year younger than Seth.  They do simple work, keeping track of some elusive Others, they would appreciate Seth’s augury, and if he wasn’t a complete asshole, marriage to the daughter would be inevitable.  For someone who doesn’t want to work, it’s… a fine offering.  Isn’t it, Seth?”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/28/cutting-class-6-z/ Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.z]]</ref> Seth refused to say if he would take the deal or not so [[Alexander Belanger|Alexander]] named him [[forsworn]]. He used a promise he'd made to his grandmother on her death bed, a promise to be better which he broken when he threw a party in her house whilst she was dying.<ref name=":1" /> The party was so disruptive the police were called in.<ref>“If those promises had any merit, even in sentiment, then you would have at least managed to hold off on fucking up until after she’d passed.  But the police called her, and she knew.  To the grave, she knew.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/28/cutting-class-6-z/ Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.z]]</ref>

After being made forsworn [[Nicolette Belanger]] took custody of him and offered him her protection.<ref>“I would give Seth Belanger my protection for the time being,” Nicolette said.  “I would take him into my custody, and be a shield between him and the world.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/28/cutting-class-6-z/ Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.z]]</ref> The process left him catatonic, he had trouble eating<ref>“Yeah.  Yeah, I ate in my room, then I tried to make Seth eat.”-[https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/12/12/gone-ahead-7-4/ Excerpt] from [[Gone Ahead 7.4]]</ref> and his karma was so bad he couldn't even watch TV.<ref>“I put him in a protective circle after something got at him, last night.  Spiritual parasites.  Purged them, moved the bed, set up the circle.  He was catatonic, even before the parasites, but I got it so he’s at least watching television.  It’s a step toward showing interest in the world again.”<br><br>“That’s, um… good?” Verona guessed.<br><br>“It’s something.  Even if the television won’t stay on for long if I’m not there.  The power shorts just long enough for it to turn off, or the internet connection hangs.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/01/23/vanishing-points-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Vanishing Points 8.5]]</ref>

Seth is visited by [[Maricica]] disguised as [[Kassidy Knox]], she passed him magic items that he used to free [[Charles Abrams]], the three of them then fled together though Seth was caught.<ref>- [[Break 1]]</ref>

He was convinced to wait on his own repeal due to the larger plan by the practitioners opposing the new Carmine.<ref>I know Seth Belanger was urged to hold back from appealing his forswearing, because Musser wanted to diminish the Carmine’s power further, first, before putting it to the question. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/01 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.9]]</ref>

Many months later, around November, he visited the [[Alabaster Doe]] to appeal his [[Forsworn|forswearing]], she refused to see him and the '''<span style="color:#960018;">[[Carmine Exile]]</span>''' stepped in instead, returning him to normal.<ref>“I appeal my forswearing.  I ask you to undo it, Carmine Exile.”<br><br>“Done.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/25/wild-abandon-18-z/ Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.z]]</ref> He later stayed to help the judge.

Seth started helping teach the [[St. Victor's practitioners]], tutoring [[Cameron Merson]] in augury.
