Seth Noel

He facilitated bids at unofficial auctions and was involved in Chise's listing. Originally from the magical Webster family, known for controlling spiders, he himself is not a magician but a ‘seer’. He proposed that Chise entrust herself to others instead of seeking death, which led her to choose to sell herself instead of committing suicide. He later became the older brother of Lucy, who shared a room with Chise during the academy arc.

He drilled English into Chise before the auction, which is why she was able to converse fluently from the start. He also gave Chise his contact information, and during the incident where the dragon child was kidnapped, he used his contacts to locate the dragon child at the auction, thereby allowing participation in the bidding process. Moreover, he had kept half of Chise’s sale price (2.5 million pounds) in custody as her share, and handed this over to her during the dragon child’s auction. The remaining 2.5 million pounds were distributed with 1.5 million as his share and the remaining 1 million sent as educational funds for his sister.

Despite being the eldest son of the Webster family, he was ostracized and exiled due to his weak magical power and lack of aptitude for the family’s magical business. Soon after his exile, a major incident occurred where his family was assassinated by an unknown party, and all the spiders, which were the family’s emblem, were stolen. People who knew about the incident, including his sister, suspected him of being the perpetrator. Later, when Lucy was attacked during training, he was called to the academy as her surviving guardian. He stated that he felt indifferent about the disdainful demise of his family, but he deeply cared for Lucy, who revered him as a brother without despising him. If he had been the one to orchestrate the assassinations, he would have taken her away beforehand to avoid involving her. This event led to a reconciliation with his sister.
