Before the crash
Seth married his childhood sweetheart at nineteen years of age, and always wore their wedding ring, according to Frank Lapidus. His official Oceanic Airlines photo shows that he once had a mustache. For an unknown reason, he replaced Frank Lapidus as the pilot of Flight 815. ("Confirmed Dead")
On the Island
Season 1 (Day 2)
In the episode "Pilot, Part 1", he was unconscious when they found him in the cockpit, but woke up when Kate leaned over him. Jack gave him water, and Seth said he was dizzy. He was bleeding from his nose and right ear, and his right eye was bruised and swollen shut. He asked how many survivors there were, to which Jack replied there were forty-eight. He became concerned when Jack said that it had been 16 hours since the crash and nobody had come yet.
He recounted the plight of Flight 815: "Six hours in, our radio went out; no one could see us. We turned back to land in Fiji. By the time we hit turbulence, we were a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place."
He then showed Jack and Kate where the transceiver was, and crawled out of the front cockpit windows to look around after the same noise from the night before occurred again. Sounds of the "Monster" approached, and the pilot was ripped upward from the cockpit through a windshield, kicking and screaming. The fuselage shook, then fell flat on its belly. Moments later, blood splashed across the front of the plane. Shortly thereafter Kate and Charlie found the pilot, dead, mangled in a tree.
Post-Death
Charlie later dedicated a song to him while composing an album about the Island, called "Monster Eats The Pilot", and sings it to Claire. ("Born to Run")
(The pilot episode "Pilot, Part 1" revealed that Seth was wearing a ring at the time of the crash.)
Trivia
- In a deleted flashback scene (depicted in extras on Disc 7 of Season 1 DVD collection), Seth had a conversation with Claire at the airport restaurant before the flight. He promised her a "smooth ride". During the same extra scene, he stated that his mother's boyfriend was named Bernard. This being a deleted scene, it may not necessarily be canon.
- In the making of the pilot episode, it is revealed that the pilot was added in later into production as Jack had originally been planned to be killed off in "Pilot". The pilot's body that was found hanging in the tree was also originally intended to be Jack's.
- He was the first crash survivor to be killed by the "Monster" and it took until Day 72 when the "Monster" found its second victim.
- Although the pilot featured in "Pilot, Part 1", his name was first revealed in the fourth season episode "Confirmed Dead"
