Seth Borgeld



 “Hmmm-- I can relate my friend.”

Seth Borgeld is a 2nd lieutenant CIC officer aboard the SSV Jughead and a member of the Alliance.

Background
Seth was born before humans discovered Mass Effect technology in the year 2146. His father owned a coffee shop on Earth and his mother was a traveller who always talked about spirtuality and being one with the universe. Seth joined the alliance to do just that, in a much more literal fashion.

He didn't start as a marine and prefered to work on ships. fascinated by the design process that goes into planning vessels, he started as a Command Deck technician and stayed on that part of the ship for most of his career. His promotions all came from hardwork on the interior of a ship and not by his body count, which he is quite proud of.

He happened to be on Ilium for a sabbatical when he heard the Jughead needed four CIC officers. He offered to end his sabbatical early, as he felt his presence on the ship was needed. It was an unexplained feeling, but he trusted it and ended up being the CIC officer in command of Deck Technicians.

Mass Effect: Resurgence
Seth and Walter are friends who represent ying and yang, as Walter is practical and logical and Seth is spirtual and philosophical. Walter also has a knack for confusing many deck technicians as when they ask questions he will usually respond with a question or some sort of statement that he found in a philosophy book. Typically Mae or Walter will translate for them. Regardless, he is well respected as he understands each alliance member has different strengths and weakness' and doesn't expect them all to meet the same standard due to this.

As unorthidox as Seth is, he still is baffled by Thatcher being chosen as the leader of the expedition. While Mae assumes Rogers has a plan of some sort, Seth seems to think that maybe it is a way that the universe is trying to force the CIC officers to actually teach Thatcher. This in turn makes for really awkward conversation whenever Thatcher and Borgeld are near one another-- but Seth is convinced he needs to pass his knowledge onto Thatcher or someone else on the Jughead.
