Seifer is an antagonist in the Square Enix video game Final Fantasy VIII, and a minor character in the Square Enix/Disney video game Kingdom Hearts II.
Canon
Arrogant and power hungry, Seifer is every bit the anti hero he's painted to be, and arguably even Final Fantasy VIII's best character.
What started off as just a petty rivalry soon escalated into a huge power struggle, where even the world itself was in danger. Seifer's greed had him latching onto sorceress after sorceress, becoming their 'knight' and doing their bidding. It wasn't until Gilgamesh himself came for Seifer'slife that the reckless young man realised that maybe he'd gone a bit too far.
Fandom
Shipping
In game text has shown for Rinoa/Seifer to be a canon ship, due to her referring to him as a previous lover. But other than that, a Seifer/Squall rival shipping is at least feasible, and it's not unheard of to hear him shipped with any of the three sorceresses he leeches power from.
The Kingdom Hearts side of the fandom may see Seifer shipped with other supporting characters (such as Hayner), but those are even rarer.
