Personality
Every occasion he is seen by the viewer, he remains calm and talks with a steady even tone. As he is only seen in moments of scientific importance and victory, it cannot be said if this demeanor carries over to every situation, or if this behavior has been modulated to the scientific environment and all business that stems from there on in.
History
Some within fanon speculate that he might be the most powerful Rocket scientist. Not taking in other issues, one can say that he has spent an impressive amount time working for the group.
Relationships with other members
He works with Tyson and gives commands to Hun and Attila. Tyson seems to hold at least his scientific mind in great regard. As Hun, Attila, and Tyson are of the same rank, Sebastian might work with agents of their rank often.
Arsenal and abilities
He is in charge of a sizable crew of scientists, and they seem to work on a variety of things. He is known for the creation of the crystal system that traps Template:Type2 Pokémon with their own power and a beam that forces Pokémon to evolve.
Trivia
- The origin of his Japanese name is probably after the sword style Shiranui-ryu. Humorously, Jessie refers to him as "pointy" when she meets him.
