Seyfert

Seyfert is the god in Tales of Eternia who created the physical worlds of Inferia and Celestia, thereby sealing Nereid's spirit world, Vatenkeist, and creating life itself. Seyfert then sealed Nereid himself in Regulus Knoll 2000 years before the game. Seyfert's teachings say to follow one's own beliefs, even if they mean turning against Seyfert himself.

Over time, however, Seyfert's story has become distorted. Inferian legend states that Seyfert ended a great war by sacrificing his life to defeat Nereid, becoming a heroic figure. There is the Seyfert Sanctuary dedicated to him in Inferia City and well as the Farlos Sanctuary on Mt. Farlos. The Dark Matter is, according to the cgurch, supposed to portend Seyfert's second coming. In Celestia, on the other hand, Nereid is said to have risen to free the oppressed, and Seyfert is rarely acknowledged.

In the game, the party carries out Seyfert's will to defend the two worlds, whereas Nereid is attempting to destroy them. Seyfert grants Reid the Divine Aurora after a trial to these ends.
