What Makes Him Magnificent?[]
- Has a tragic backstory of seeing the squad he commanded, who were like family to him, die horrible deaths in front of him while losing his right hand and being legally pronounced dead.
- Taking advantage of his legally dead status, Sebastian returns to London and amasses power inside the Underworld to avenge his squad, having already deduced that his squad's death was only an inside job.
- Upon meeting William and hearing his vision for an equal and greater society for Britain, Sebastian happily joins him and becomes one of his most undyingly loyal enforcers while having a genuine kinship with his team.
- While off the clock Sebastian seems comically lazy and easily intimidated, underneath the goofy exterior, when his mind is actually put into it, Sebastian is one of William's most dangerously competent henchman, in which no task is too complicated for Sebastian to do. This is best demonstrated when he uses a silent rifle to secretly shoot near Dudley Bale and trick the corrupt landlord into falling into his watery grave.
- When the team infiltrate the Baskerville child hunts to put an end to it, when William is separated, Sebastian takes charge and stops Louis and Fred's arguments to keep their mind on the task.
- Has a complete disgust over rapists and pedophiles, in which he kills one of the child hunters out of contempt for him getting sexual gratification from whipping young boys to death.
- Deduces that the Governor-General of India, Duke Graham Dunderdale, is the mastermind of a conspiracy that will restart the British-Afghan war by taking a look through his "charities" to Afghanistan.
- Fakes Miss Moneypenny's death and feigns allegiance to Duke Dunderdale and his former squad mate, Daryl, to distract them both while Miss Moneypenny evacuates Duke Dunderdale's manor and thwarts their warmongering plans. He then breaks Daryl and the Duke's ideologies and expose their true colours as sadistic cowards with a god complex and covertly murder them all without a trace of foul play present.
- Mentors James Bond when he joins MI6, giving a rousing speech and inspire him to take initiative when a bank robbery occurs, voicing his approval over him when he singlehandedly takes down all the robbers and credit it all to the bank's guard.
- Stationing himself above the rooftops of Whitechapel, he covertly destroys all of Scotland Yard's weapons to clear the way for Jack Reinfield, and then vanish without a trace. One very impressive display is when he immediately catches onto James' plan of tossing a coin and accurately shoot it to deflect the bullet into the barrel of the Yard's gatling gun and destroy it.
- Upon William's presumed death, Sebastian goes rogue to fulfill William's vision, covertly assassinating people and be untraceable for 3 years.
- After learning of William's survival, he decides to rejoin MI6 and atone for his sins.
What Makes Him a Baddie?[]
- Is one of William's primary right-hands, enforcing his criminal empire and helping him carry out numerous murders.
- Helps MI6 set up a great fire that spreads all across London.
- Upon William's death, while everyone else decides to abandon crimes to make up for their sins, Sebastian goes rogue and becomes a vigilante of his own, playing judge, jury and executioner as he murders corrupt people across Britain.
