Fictional character biography
Kadlec
When Maximus the Mad took the throne of Attilan, he appointed the Seeker to find and retrieve the exiled Inhuman Royal Family, so that Maximus could marry Medusa and keep the others under observation.[1]
It is later revealed that he was the one who killed Gorgon's father. When it came to a cave in that buried him and Gorgon, Seeker was found dead.[2]
Uys
Years later, Seeker's twin brother also took up the mantle of the Seeker and fought the group Fantastic Force.[3]
The Seeker was part of a group of Inhumans, including Kaliban, Asmodeus, Avius, Falcona, Leonus, Pinyon, and Timberius, that assaulted the Fantastic Four during a public appearance in the Bronx, New York. The Inhumans sought to recover Ahura, the son of Black Bolt and Medusa, for the Genetics Council. Ahura was convinced to return to Attilan peaceably, but the Chief Justice of the Genetics Council betrayed the rest of the Inhumans to usurp Ahura's power for himself. The "evil" Inhumans continued to defend the Genetics Council, but when the Chief Justice was defeated, they vanished into the shadows.[4]
