Fablehaven

Seth Sorenson is Kendra's younger brother, 11, and has a much more out-going, risky, curious, and adventurous personality. Seth has great courage, but little patience, and he does not always think things through. Because of this, he tends to be the source of mischief as the story continues. In book 1, Seth gets turned into a mutant walrus because he turned a fairy into an imp unintentionally by holding her captive overnight. The family then has to go to Muriel the witch to change him back, and as a consequence one of the knots that binds the witch is lost. Against orders, Seth opens the window on Midsummer's Eve allowing goblins and other creatures into the house. These creatures kidnapped Lena and Grandpa Sorensen, and also turned Dale into a statue. This left Seth and Kendra alone to find a way of rescuing them. They later have the help of Grandma Sorensen, after they loose Muriel's last knot in order to free Grandma from her altered state.

Powers and Abilities

Seth is a Shadow Charmer, his qualities beginning to emerge in Rise of the Evening Star and being stabilized and brought to full potency in Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary. While most of his family and friends are alienated by the dark origin of his powers, Seth has never used his abilities for evil.

• Seth is immune to all magical manipulation of emotion, from magical fear to the guilt of stealing a unicorn horn.
• Seth can perceive dark elements invisible to others. This later magnifies into being able to see anything invisible to others.
• Seth can speak and understand the languages of dark creatures, from demons to trolls.
• Seth can shade walk, meaning that away from bright light he is nearly invisible.
• Seth is trusted more by dark creatures than other humans, although the degree to which this is effective varies from creature to creature, demons in particular being immune to him, although he easily befriends the sky giant Thronis and the mountain troll Udnar
• Seth has a link to undead creatures, being able to hear their minds and they his. The Sphinx (another shadow charmer) has explained that "[You and I] are a link to life, and they will do anything to preserve that link." This makes it easy for Seth to command undead creatures, provided that they have sworn loyalty to him and are under the conditions he sets.
• Seth, in combination with Kendra, is a dragon tamer.
• Many of Seth's abilities are never used in the series. The Sphinx, a more advanced shadow charmer, is able to plunge a room into darkness, release dizzy spells, and lower the temperature in the same room. He believes that Seth would be able to do this too, with practice. He has also hinted at other abilities, never revealed or used by Seth.
• Seth can speak Dugish, the language of trolls and other relatives
