History[]

The Cursed Wanderer as he appears in Tales of Vesperia.
Seifer, along with Patty, is part of the Siren's Fang (海精の牙 Kaisei no Kiba / "Seiren no Kiba"?, "Fang of the Sea's Essence") pirate guild led by Aifread. The guild disbanded after the "Black Hope" incident, in which the crew were turned into monsters due to Alexei Dinoia's actions. Seifer survived the incident and gradually turned into a monster thereafter, but prior to his transformation, he delivered Aifread, who reverted to a child due to the incident, to land, while he himself fled to the sea to die. By the events of the story, he has fully transformed into a giant skeletal creature known as the Cursed Wanderer (彷徨う骸の凶戦士 Samayou Mukuro no Kyousenshi?, "Wandering Skeleton Cursed Warrior").
The truth behind the Black Hope incident is shrouded in myth. In the story, Patty is revealed to be Aifread at some point, but most believe Seifer to be Aifread. The incident, a direct result of Alexei's experiments, forced Seifer to kill the crew, spurring the rumor that Aifread slaughtered the members of his own guild and innocent people aboard in a drastic betrayal known as the Black Hope Massacre. In order to save his captain's life, Seifer gave Aifread the Amrita which turned her into a child. At the beginning of the story, she is searching for a treasure she believes Aifread hid in an attempt to regain her memories.
Patty eventually recovers her memories in the Lenansla Cavern, where Seifer buried the guild members of Siren's Fang. She later finds the Maris Stella (麗しの星 Uruwashi no Hoshi / "Marisu Sutera"?) in Zaude and uses it at Capua Nor to call the Atherum (アーセルム号?) ghost ship, where the group faces the monstrous Seifer. After the battle, Patty decides to kill Siefer so that he may finally know peace and continues traveling with the group, now fully dedicated to their mission.

Patty states that he was no stranger to battle and was extremely talented. He was extremely close to Aifread, being the one she trusted most in the world.
