Season one of See introduces viewers to a dystopian future where the human race has
lost the sense of sight.
Baba Voss is the leader of the Alkenny tribe, and the partner of Maghra, a newcomer to the
tribe.
Maghra gives birth to two babies, Kofun and Haniwa, whose biological father is the mythical
Jerlamarel, a preacher whose ability to see is passed down to his children.
Jerlamarel appears to Baba Voss and gives him books for the children before departing.
Baba Voss, Maghra, and their friend Paris keep the children’s vision a secret from
the rest of the tribe, but that secret is discovered by traitorous tribe member Gether
Bax.
Those who support Jerlamarel and promote the concept of vision are dubbed “witches”
and hunted down by Queen Sibeth Kane, ruler of the Payan Kingdom.
She lived in Paya’s capital, Kanzua, the last society with working electricity.
Queen Kane sends her Witchhunter General Tamacti Jun to hunt down Jerlamarel’s children.
Many years pass, and Tamacti Jun offers to kill himself as punishment for failing to
find the children.
But when Sibeth receives intel from Gether Bax on the children’s location, she sends
Tamacti back out on the hunt.
With Tamacti Jun and his army gone, many powerful people of Kanzua begin to question Queen Kane’s
leadership and methods and formulate a plot to assassinate her.
To thwart all of her followers that were turning against her, Queen Kane destabilizes the Kanzua
dam, which floods and kills the entire village.
As Queen Kane flees, she is captured by a man named Cutter and taken to the City of
Worms where she is forced into slavery.
Meanwhile, Gether Bax teams up with Tamacti Jun’s Witchfinder army to raid the Alkenny
village.
The now grown Kofun and Haniwa flee with Baba Voss, Maghra, Paris, and fellow tribe member
Bow Lion.
During their escape, Haniwa kills Gether Bax.
On the run with nowhere to hide, Paris reveals that Jerlamarel had left a letter with directions
to his location, and so the group begin their journey to find him.
Along the way, they are joined by another of Jerlamarel’s children with the ability
to see, named Boots.
Boots betrays the group, leading to all but Maghra being captured by a villainous underground
tribe.
Unaware of Boots’ betrayal and her family’s perilous situation, Maghra confronts Tamacti
Jun and his army, revealing herself to be the royal Princess Maghra of House Kane.
Her father, the former King of House Kane, had made it his dying wish to see Maghra crowned
queen, but it was Tamacti Jun who had been the deciding vote to elect Maghra’s sister
Sibeth as Queen Kane instead.
When Tamacti Jun receives word that Queen Kane was currently enslaved in the City of
Worms, Maghra and Boots accompany him to save her.
Tamacti Jun fights his way through the City of Worms to find his Queen, eventually discovering
that she had already killed Cutter with the help of a fellow slave named Cora.
Upon learning that Queen Kane had flooded Kanzua and killed many innocent people and
families, Tamacti Jun realizes that he made a mistake choosing her as Queen over Maghra.
Maghra confronts her sister, demanding she abdicate the throne, and it’s revealed that
Queen Kane has spent a lifetime of bitterness due not only to her father favoring Maghra,
but also being left heartbroken by a past romance with Jerlamarel.
Queen Kane refuses to give up the throne and is assisted by Boots and Cora to mortally
wound Tamacti Jun.
Surrounded by enemies, Maghra is forced to align with her sister as co-ruler of Paya.
Meanwhile, Baba Voss and the others manage to escape their captors and continue their
journey to Jerlamarel.
Eventually, they arrive at the Lavender Road, which would lead them directly to Jerlamarel’s
House of Enlightenment.
The group are attacked by guards, and Bow Lion is seriously injured.
Kofun and Haniwa reveal their identities to the guards and are allowed safe passage into
the House of Enlightenment.
Baba Voss and Paris take the injured Bow Lion to a nearby village to heal her wounds, while
Kofun and Haniwa are welcomed to the House of Enlightenment by their father, Jerlamarel.
The settlement had working electricity, hot water and a full library, and was populated
by a half-dozen more of Jerlamarel’s sighted offspring.
Kofun and Haniwa quickly realize that their biological father had a bit of a messiah-complex,
thinking he was chosen by God to bring vision back to the world.
Jerlamarel also happened to be working with Baba Voss’ villainous brother Edo Voss,
selling Haniwa over to him.
Baba Voss infiltrates the House of Enlightenment and works alongside Kofun to defeat and blind
Jerlamarel.
Baba Voss and Kofun leave the House of Enlightenment and reunite with Paris, resolved to find and
save Haniwa.
In season two of See, Baba Voss continues his journey to the kingdom of Trivantes to
save his daughter, Haniwa, from his brother Edo Voss.
Leaving behind Paris and Kofun, Baba Voss sneaks into Trivantes, but is captured by
guards and imprisoned by his brother.
Edo blamed Baba for the death of their father, and had been waiting more than two decades
to enact his revenge.
While imprisoned, Baba Voss discovers that a still alive Tamacti Jun was also a prisoner
of the Trivantians.
Tamacti Jun reveals to Baba Voss that Maghra was still alive and that she was in fact the
secret princess of Paya.
Meanwhile, Edo has left Haniwa in the care of his second-in-command, Wren, who develops
romantic feelings for Haniwa and reveals that she too has the ability to see, but has kept
her vision a secret due to the Trivantians' violent opposition to vision.
Edo Voss believes that sight led to the first downfall of humanity, and if allowed to spread
again, sight would lead to another downfall.
Edo also believed that if he could control sighted humans from an early age, he could
use them to accumulate ultimate power.
And so, he planned on breeding Haniwa to create a line of sighted children that he could command.
Fortunately, Wren helps Haniwa, Baba Voss, and Tamacti Jun escape.
On their journey home, the group are joined by Paris, who is revealed to have been a former
member of the Compass, a secret order sworn to protect sighted children.
Meanwhile, Kofun is found by a group of Witchfinders sent by Queen Kane and Maghra to bring him
home safely.
Though under orders from their queen, protecting a sighted human went against the Witchfinders’
beliefs.
The group’s leader, Toad, prevents an assassination attempt on Kofun, and the pair continue their
journey home alone.
Queen Sibeth Kane travels with Maghra to the city of Pennsa and names it the new capital
of Paya.
Sibeth lies to Pennsa’s ruler, Lord Harlan, that the Trivantians had been the ones to
destroy Kanzua due to her being pregnant with a sighted child.
In truth, Queen Kane had become pregnant with Boots’ baby, but whether that child would
actually be sighted would never be known, as Queen Kane suffers a miscarriage.
In a fit of rage, she kills Boots.
Lord Harlan holds a lot of power in Pennsa, and Queen Kane convinces Maghra to agree to
marry him in order to enforce the protection of sighted children.
In turn, Harlan proves his loyalty by killing a former Kanzua resident who warns him that
Queen Kane was the one truly responsible for the capital’s destruction, and not the Trivantians
as claimed.
Eventually, Baba Voss, Tamacti Jun, Haniwa, Paris, and fellow Compass member Charlotte,
in addition to Kofun and Toad all arrive in Pennsa for a happy family reunion, although
that was slightly complicated due to Maghra now being married to Lord Harlan.
Maghra convinces Queen Kane to allow the Payans to attempt to strike a peace deal with the
Trivantians.
The Trivantian leaders were already at war with their neighboring rivals, the Ganites,
and had no interest in fighting Paya before Queen Kane lied about them attacking Kanzua.
The Trivantians also strongly opposed the sighted, and would retaliate if Paya protected
them.
Despite these complications, Maghra does manage to strike a peace agreement between Paya and
Trivantes.
Unfortunately, Queen Kane sends assassins to kill the Trivantian leaders, ensuring a
war between Trivantes and Paya.
With the war between Paya and Trivantes now confirmed, Tamacti Jun reveals to everyone
that Queen Kane was the one responsible for Kanzua’s destruction.
He and Lord Harlan back Maghra as the new Queen, and Sibeth Kane is sentenced to execution.
She is spared when it’s revealed that she had began a secret sexual relationship with
her nephew, Kofun, and was now pregnant with his sighted child.
Meanwhile, Edo Voss and the Trivantian army begin their march against Paya.
Edo kills Jerlamarel and takes control of the House of Enlightenment, placing his chief
science officer, Tormada, in charge to develop new weapons for the Trivantians.
After Edo discovers that Wren was sighted, he uses her vision to march quickly across
the land, taking over Payan settlements with ease.
The war between the Trivantians, led by Edo, and the Payans, led by Baba, is a brutal one.
The Trivantians greatly outnumbered the Payans, but the Payans had a familiarity with their
surroundings and a better strategy, allowing them to eventually defeat the opposing army.
Toad dies during the battle, but the rest of Baba’s allies survive.
Following the battle, Wren and Haniwa share a kiss goodbye, and Baba and Edo have their
final fight.
The brutal hand-to-hand fight between brothers ends with Baba killing Edo once and for all.
Back in Pennsa, Maghra names Tamacti Jun the new general of the Payan army.
Tamacti warns that the other Witchfinders still oppose the sighted, and Sibeth confirms
that she will one day attempt to reclaim her crown.
Sibeth also murders Paris, explaining that she would kill anyone, including her own child,
to prevent her unborn baby from being taken from her.
Lord Harlan offers Baba Voss a place in the Payan army, but Baba refuses, tired of fighting
and feeling like he doesn't belong in the capital.
He says an emotional goodbye to his family, and departs the city alone.
As the season comes to a close, it’s revealed that Tormada has used the knowledge from the
House of Enlightenment to create an explosive new weapon for the Trivantians to use against
the Payan Kingdom.
