(GRIII#40)-Seer is identified as a magical being by Blade/Switchblade, who is possessed by Demogorge and is trying to kill all other creations of magical power. She is saved from him by Ghost Rider/Ketch and Frank Drake.

(SoV#14)-Seer returns to the Nightclub and is chastised by that shadowy Blood representative (Patriarch?) for failing to return Ghost Rider and his piece of the Medallion of Power to him/them (the Blood).
(GR42)-Seer finds
Ghost Rider again and brings him to the Nightclub. She gives him
a vision of the past of the Blood, and helps Ghost Rider free

reanimated Deathwatch.

(SoV#16)-At the Nightclub, Seer felt the psychic backlash as Zarathos attacked the Midnight Sons. She later provided an energy boost to Caretaker so he can explain some of the origins of Ghost Rider via flaming images.

After learning of the Fallen's plan to convert or kill the rest of the Blood, she leads Ghost Rider and Vengeance to petition the aid of Patriarch. She watches as Ghost Rider apparently destroys Ranter, but Patriarch refuses to get involved. After they leave, Patriarch joins the Fallen.

(Spirits of Vengeance#19-BTS) - After Blaze fights off Varnae, Seer takes home a young woman whose boyfriend Varnae had killed.
(Blaze: Legacy of Blood#1-4)-Seer lets John Blaze know that his family is threatened by Regent. She helped him to track the Hidden and locate his missing children. She also assisted him against Regent and teleported Blaze's children to safety when he blew up Regent's base. She and Blaze hoped not to have to run into each other again.
Comments: Created by Howard Mackie and Ron Garney.
Seer was/is 50% mystery, 50% fluff. She was introduced in "The Midnight Massacre", fleshed out minimally in "The Road to Vengeance", forgotten about in the middle of "The Siege of Darkness", and then returned for no great reason in "Legacy of Blood", before vanishing again.
