Lore
Before Seer’s birth, it was foretold he would bring suffering to the world. The night he was born, a meteor struck the moon of his homeworld, Boreas—an omen many used to brand him a cursed child. His parents looked past superstition, recognizing a compassionate, creative soul and supporting his fascination with performance and combat as expressive art.
Drawn to underground Arenas, Seer honed his talent and presence. Initially met with skepticism, his style and empathy resonated with the outcast and forgotten. As victories grew, so did his audience—and he became a symbol for those seeking to be seen. He now fights in the Apex Games not only as a champion of individuality but also to help heal Boreas, despite critics who blame him for its hardships.
