Captain Seth Norris was the pilot of Oceanic Flight 815 found in the cockpit by Jack, Kate, and Charlie.
Before the crash
Little is known about Seth's life before Flight 815. Most of the information we have comes from Frank Lapidus's accounts. For an unknown reason, Seth replaced Frank Lapidus as the pilot of Flight 815. ("Confirmed Dead")
Seth married his childhood sweetheart at nineteen years of age, and always wore their wedding ring. His official Oceanic Airlines photo shows that he once had a mustache.
On the Island
Seth was killed and disfigured after being attacked by the Monster. ("Pilot, Part 1")
Season 1 (Day 2)
Seth was unconscious when he was found in the cockpit of Flight 815, but woke up when Kate leaned over him. Jack gave him water, and Seth said he was dizzy. He was bleeding from his nose and right ear, and his right eye was bruised and swollen shut. He asked how many survivors there were, to which Jack replied there were forty-eight. He became concerned when Jack said that it had been 16 hours since the crash and nobody had come yet. He recounted the plight of Flight 815:

He then showed Jack and Kate where the transceiver was, and crawled out of the front cockpit windows to look around after the same noise from the night before occurred again. Sounds of the Monster approached, and the pilot was ripped upward from the cockpit through a windshield, kicking and screaming. The fuselage shook, then fell flat on its belly. Moments later, blood splashed across the front of the plane. Shortly thereafter Kate and Charlie found the pilot, dead, mangled in a tree. ("Pilot, Part 1")
Post-Death
Seth with his mustache. ("Confirmed Dead")
Seth is wearing his wedding ring
Charlie later dedicated a song to him while composing an album about the Island, called "Monster Eats The Pilot," and sings it to Claire. ("Born to Run")
Off the Island, Frank Lapidus saw a newscast showing the supposed body of Seth in the underwater cockpit. Frank knew Seth personally and strongly believed that that was not Seth's body, since Seth always wore his wedding ring, while the corpse's hand had no rings. ("Confirmed Dead")
The pilot episode revealed that Seth was wearing a ring at the time of the crash. ("Pilot, Part 1")
Trivia
- In a deleted flashback scene (depicted in extras on Disc 7 of Season 1 DVD collection), Seth had a conversation with Claire at the airport restaurant before the flight. He promised her a "smooth ride." During the same extra scene, he stated that his mother's boyfriend was named Bernard. This being a deleted scene, it may not necessarily be canon. However, a woman in "The Oceanic Six: A Conspiracy of Lies" mentioned witnessing this scene. If the mockumentary is considered canon, then this scene actually did take place.
- In the making of the pilot episode, it is revealed that the pilot character was added late in production, as Jack had originally been planned to be killed off in "Pilot." The pilot's body that was found hanging in the tree was also originally intended to be Jack's.
- Seth was the first crash survivor to be killed by the Monster. The Monster did not claim a second victim until Day 72.
- Although the pilot was featured in "Pilot, Part 1", his name was first revealed in the fourth season episode "Confirmed Dead".
