Seymour

Ananta has not yet launched globally. This page includes details from official posts, developer interviews, hands-on previews, and the January 2026 Closed Beta Test as of February 16, 2026.

Seymour is the masked hacker on the Captain's four-person roster in Ananta. He operates from a rolling RV headquarters, tracks targets through Eonbug's surveillance network, and refuses to say a single word about the mask that hides his face. If a target is anywhere a signal reaches, Seymour can find them, and his intelligence feed is what lets the A.C.D. keep pace with the supernatural mess spreading across Nova City.

Overview

Seymour is one of four launch-roster characters that, Rosenberry Rooms, and the official TGS 2025 coverage from NetEase confirm are unlocked through story progression rather than gacha. He sits alongside the Captain, Taffy, and Richie, each assigned a distinct niche in the task force. Where Richie handles close-quarters brawling and the Captain leads missions with Chaos Liquid powers, Seymour is the technical specialist who turns the city's digital infrastructure into an asset for the squad.

Officially, he is an A.C.D. agent. In practice, he runs his operations through Eonbugthe civilian surveillance outfit whose networks feed his tracking work. That dual affiliation mirrors the pattern NetEase has built for several task force members, where the formal ACD badge is only half of the character's working identity.

Appearance and Personality

Seymour hides his face behind a bizarre mask that he refuses to discuss with teammates or in questioning. and Rosenberry Rooms note that he bristles when the mask comes up at all, making it one of the game's running mysteries among the cast. He dresses in plain casual clothes under the mask, the kind of outfit that blends into any alley or rooftop in Nova City.

He has a moral code. Rosenberry Rooms describes it bluntly: he does not start pursuing a target unless he assumes they are worth his time or have done something horrible. The writeup at techinBengali describes this as a layer of moral complexity that keeps him from being just another tech support sidekick. The upshot for players is that Seymour's digital hunts tend to land on genuinely dangerous marks rather than petty criminals.

Role in the Team

Within the four-character party, Seymour covers what several outlets call the technical or tech-focused slot. His job is surveillance and infiltration support, tracking Supernatural Anomalies digitally through Eonbug's infrastructure so that teammates on the ground can close in. Character switching at major battle events lets the Captain, Taffy, or Richie rotate in for the physical side of the operation while Seymour continues to hold position.

Several previews describe his kit as drawing influence from the Watch Dogs style of surveillance and hacking. In mission design terms, this tends to mean stealth, information-gathering, and infiltration work where precision and patience matter more than brute force.

Mobile Base: The RV

Seymour's rolling headquarters is an RV that doubles as his workspace. Between contracts, him as tinkering with gadgets inside the vehicle and keeping an eye on the world through his feeds. The RV solves a practical problem for a tech character in an urban sandbox: it lets his digital reach stay mobile, so he can follow a case as it moves between districts instead of being tied to a fixed office.

Combat and Traversal

Seymour leans on tech, but he is still a capable fighter when a situation collapses and the squad has to brawl. The TGS 2025 hands-on coverage and Noypi Geeks confirm that every character in the four-person roster shares the game's universal hand-to-hand combat foundation of attack, block, counter, and dodge, with the environment fully interactive for improvised weapons. Each unit layers on a unique basic attack set, a cooldown skill, and a charged skill, with Seymour's kit tilting toward information and infiltration rather than raw damage.

For getting around the city, he shares the standard toolkit: parkour across rooftops, wall-running along facades, and grapple points used to swing between buildings. See traversal for the breakdown of how the 3C system is shared across the cast.

Job: Hacker

Through the Identity Systemplaying as Seymour means running covert operations from the RV. Icy Veins' summary of NetEase's identity jobs confirms that hackers progress by infiltrating digital systems, which in Seymour's case means pulling intelligence from Eonbug's feeds and slipping into networks that the rest of the ACD can't touch. These covert jobs contribute to his identity progression the same way cops gain XP from arrests or couriers gain XP from deliveries.

Practically, his missions lean toward digital infiltration, tracking, and surveillance rather than direct combat. Noypi Geeks singled him out as the team's masked hacker specializing in high-tech infiltration, which matches how the 7-minute TGS gameplay trailer framed his work: finding things teammates on the street cannot.

Character Sheet

Story Context

When the Captain arrives in Nova City and finds the ACD disbanded, the task force has to be rebuilt from scratch. Several previews describe Seymour as part of this rebuild, meaning his RV operation and his Eonbug ties become formally folded back into the directorate once the player recruits him. His pursuit of high-value targets dovetails with the ACD's broader mission: identifying, tracking, and containing the supernatural Chaos phenomena spreading through the city.

Trivia

• Seymour's mask is never explained in any official material released so far. Multiple character guides specifically note that asking about it is a quick way to end a conversation with him.

• His selective pursuit rule, only chasing targets who are worth his time or have done something horrible, is one of the clearer personality hooks for a character who otherwise hides his face and keeps his origins off the record.

• He is part of the no-gacha launch lineup confirmed by NetEase: every playable character, Seymour included, is obtained through story progression, with monetization focused on cosmetics for outfits and vehicles.
