History
Part One (Trollhunters)
Becoming: Part 1
Seamus, along with his friends Steve and Logan, punk Eli by shoving him into a locker. Jim and Toby are passing by with their bikes when Jim decides to stand up for Eli. Then Steve turns his attention to Jim and begins to pick on Jim. Toby is worried and a crowd gathers around the site. After this, Seamus and Logan conspicuously disappear.
Part One (3 Below)
Lightning in a Bottle
When Krel starts getting all the A-pluses in class, Seamus begins to get jealous over this, as Ms. Janeth only gives out one per person and prior to Krel's arriving, he got them all. This results in Seamus and his father complaining to Senor Uhl and Miss Janeth over Krel's brilliance, with somewhat racy remarks towards Krel. They then challenge Krel to a math-off and whoever wins, gets the A-plus.
The next day, they begin solving a complicated math problem on the white board with Varvatos and Mr. Johnson watching. After remembering how harsh his father is towards him, Krel willingly goofs up on the math problem and lets Seamus win. In a manner of good sportsmanship, Seamus shakes hands with Krel. Outside, Seamus asks Krel why he threw the challenge for him and Krel replies that it is because he wanted him to go to space camp, earning some respect from Seamus.
Physical Appearance
Seamus has orange-blonde hair, a large nose, and a buff body. He is mainly seen wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
Personality
While Seamus just started out as a flat character in Trollhunters, he got more depth and spotlight in 3 Below.
He's shown to be the envious-type of guy, as he was visibly jealous of Krel getting an "A+" on all of his exams, which Seamus himself only got before Krel arrived. Seamus then accuses Krel of cheating and "stealing" his good grades. He also appears to be somewhat racist, like when Steve beats up Krel, Seamus told Steve to "knock [Krel] back to wherever [Krel] came from", only for Mary to tell him to shut up.
However, his racist attitude might be because of his father’s abusive attitude towards him, and Seamus clearly dislikes his father's constant rants and disappointments. He was visibly worried about his father dropping him out of space camp if he loses the math duel, showing that he somewhat fears his father's cruel threats. When Krel throws off the competition, Seamus begins to tolerate Krel decently, viewing him as "okay" and was clearly grateful that he wanted him to go to space camp.
Abilities
Intelligence
Seamus is one of Arcadia Oaks High's smartest students, being able to receive every A+ in school, at least until Krel begins to attend school. During his math duel with Krel, Seamus was able to keep up with Krel (whose intelligence is beyond a normal human's).
Relationships
Steve Palchuk and Logan
Seamus is seen hanging around Steve and Logan a lot.
Presumably, Seamus and Steve seem to get along well because of their rough relationships with their fathers.
Krel Tarron
At first, Seamus was jealous of Krel "stealing" his A+, accusing him of cheating. And he sometimes blurts out racy comments towards Krel, like when Steve starts beating him up.
However, when Krel throws out the math duel for Seamus (after overhearing his and his father's argument), Seamus becomes more respectful towards Krel, telling him that he was weird, but okay. He even admits that Krel is better than his own father. During the Battle of the Bands, Seamus openly admits that Krel is pretty good as a disc jockey, showing that he now views him as more than an "alien".
Mr. Johnson
Seamus appears to have a rocky relationship with his father. It's most likely that his father is the main reason why Seamus is somewhat racist and why he's academically smarter than most of his classmates. When Krel begins to earn Miss Janeth's A+, Seamus' father was clearly disappointed in his son not being intelligent enough to out-smart a "foreigner". His father was even willing to drop him out of space camp if he loses to Krel, much to Seamus' dismay and worry.
Seamus even admits that Krel is better than his own father.
