Prince of Persia

Setam is a recurring character in the Prince of Persia franchise, appearing primarily in the Sands of Time storyline. He is a Vizier, serving as a high-ranking advisor and administrator to the Shahd of Azad.

Driven by a thirst for power and immortality, Setam is depicted as cunning, manipulative, and ultimately treacherous. He orchestrates the events that lead to the Prince unleashing the Sands of Time, aiming to seize their power for himself.

Setam's primary motivation revolves around achieving eternal life. He believes the Sands of Time hold the key to immortality and is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to obtain it. His ambition puts him directly at odds with the Prince and Farah, who strive to contain the Sands and restore balance.

Setam's fate varies across different iterations of the Sands of Time narrative. In the original game, he is ultimately defeated, his plans thwarted by the Prince and Farah. He represents a recurring antagonist, embodying the corrupting influence of power and the dangers of unchecked ambition within the royal court.
