Bill Seacaster

Bill (William) Seacaster is Fabian's father, whom Fabian introduces as "the famous William Seacaster", an adventurer who sailed the Celestine Sea E1·00:03:01. Brennan describes him as an over-the-top pirate with a tricorn hat, an eye patch, a saber and a long coat, whose wealth came by means "some call heroic and others would call… uh, evil" E1·00:05:39. He tells Fabian he never had any schooling and advises him to find "the biggest and meanest man there" on his first day E1·00:06:19. He also says he paid Coach Daybreak a bribe to help his son E1·00:08:03.

Bill is a loud, doting pirate father who celebrates violence and plunder, cheering when Fabian brings home a motorcycle as his "first plunder" E5·01:05:07. He tells Fabian that he killed his own father with a dagger on his deathbed E3·00:44:44. At Seacaster Manor he admits he cannot read E6·01:05:42, and after a night with the party he preaches "the law of the blade" and drills them in his own style E7·00:04:56 E7·00:13:46. He vows that when his time comes he will leap into Hell and kill the Devil E7·00:11:30.

Bill says Mr. Hughes, a bank representative from Bastion City, has contacted him for some work "in my retirement" E11·01:28:49. He insists to the party that he is "a pirate through and through" E13·00:29:37, and tells Fabian that the Harpy was the flagship of Kalvaxus E13·01:08:38. Sklonda's case files show KVX Bank paying money to William Seacaster E13·01:24:53. When Fabian calls him from jail, Bill arrives, fights his son in the cell and is knocked out E15·00:37:37.

On prom night Fabian finds Bill dying at Seacaster Manor among some sixty dead attackers E15·01:48:23. Bill admits he worked for the bank as its new palimpsest supplier E15·01:50:45, hands Fabian his eye patch, and Fabian drives his sword into his heart as Bill cheers "That's the way you do it, boy!" E15·01:51:55. His coat explodes as he shouts that he will leap into hell and kill the devil E15·01:52:18. In Hell, Bill greets Fabian, has his dead crew turn Kalvaxus into a ship, and plans to take the throne of the Ninth Pit E17·01:04:05 E17·01:04:42. The epilogue shows his funeral, attended by Hallariel E17·01:10:42.

Bill Seacaster is Fabian Seacaster's father, the pirate whom Fabian killed at the end of season 1 S2E6·00:28:08. A concierge names him "Bill Seacaster, Terror of the Sea" S2E2b·00:59:24. In season 2 the party learns that Cathilda sailed with him aboard The Hangman, and that her husband was first mate under Captain Seacaster S2E2b·00:52:03 S2E2b·00:52:26. A pirate who became a Solisian citizen, he had been supplying palimpsests to KVX Bank, and he is said to be in hell S2E4·00:17:36 S2E4·00:18:38 S2E4·00:18:52. Alistair Ash says he thinks Bill killed some kind of devil prince about five months earlier S2E5·00:36:52.

He returns in person when an illusion fades, with a glowing red ember instead of an eye patch, smoldering coal teeth, a lava sword and extra arms S2E14·02:08:46. He is then the archdevil Captain of the Goldenrod, an enormous devil with a floating skull-and-crossbones sign, a third arm ending in a hook, and a rebel fleet he calls the "Rebel armada" S2E15·00:04:49 S2E15·00:08:10. He shoots Gilear Faeth dead, later throws him a glowing sword, and finally gives Fabian the helm S2E15·00:08:55 S2E15·00:35:39 S2E15·02:16:12. As captain of the Goldenrod he can take the party only as far as the Astral Plane, and he offers to sell their loot at the Inn of the Infinite and split it 50/50 S2E16·00:21:51 S2E16·01:24:56. He tells Gilear he wishes for nothing more than for him to make an honest woman of Hallariel, and he warns that if he sees the party again they are all dead S2E16·01:21:25 S2E16·01:21:37 S2E16·01:24:36. In Adaine's orb he calls Fabian "my darling boy" and hugs him S2E18·02:12:30.

In season 3 he is described as dead and living in Cleveland, as a joke S3E1·00:03:51. Fabian says "my father's in Hell now, fighting the devil." S3E4·00:24:22 A massive topiary of Bill Seacaster swings a flowering scimitar at the manor, and Fabian says he is in Hell fighting the Devil himself S3E6·00:09:25 S3E6·00:14:57. Buddy says the house came from theft, and Fabian answers that his father was a pirate who killed and murdered lots of people S3E6·00:14:31 S3E6·00:14:38.

His card reads "Fabian's Papa, Archdevil" S3E13·00:15:41. He greets Fabian with "My darling boy!", and Fabian answers "I miss you, Papa." S3E13·00:15:10 S3E13·00:24:53 He says he was in the middle of slashing the brow of Asmodeus himself S3E13·00:15:41. Fabian asks "Would you tattoo me, Papa?" S3E13·00:28:15. Bill answers on the inter-Hell device while Hallariel is on the cruise S3E16·00:39:09. In the finale his card appears and he calls Fabian "My darling boy." S3E20·02:08:20 S3E20·02:08:28
