Greg and Seth
The original Stones To Abbigale cover was the front of Seth's outfit with blood stains on it. For the second book cover, Greg re-created Seth's outfit and modeled Seth holding a gun. After the final cover change, Greg kept Seth on the back cover.
In a video titled, "Why Are People Such Jerks Online?", Greg read a negative Amazon review for STA that said the characters are not interesting. Greg shows off Seth's outfit and sarcastically uses Seth as an example of an interesting character. ($ource)
Greg continued to wear Seth's outfit in several Speaks and UhOhBro videos after his book was released.
