Engerraund Serac is a main character in Westworld, played by Vincent Cassel. He is a trillionaire, the richest man in the world, and the co-creator and owner of Rehoboam, the world's most advanced AI.

He serves as the main antagonist of the third season. It is also revealed that he foresaw the Host Uprising and is the one for whom Charlotte Hale was attempting to smuggle out the park guests' data in the first two seasons, making him the series' overarching antagonist.

Biography

Engerraund Serac was born and grew up in Paris, France along with an unnamed brother. The two were playing in a field outside of the city when several men in hazard suits appeared to get them out of harms way. Serac then turned back in the direction of Paris only to find that the city was entirely destroyed and nothing but a mushroom cloud.

According to Serac the true enemy of humanity was humanity itself, a lesson he learned on the day his birthplace was wiped out. Human beings made war and conflict with other human beings out of greed and desire for what other humans have or out of prejudice and hate - things Serac saw as proof of his belief. This began his life's work of climbing high to secure power via wealth and to create the means to control the human race and save it from itself.

When he grew up, Serac became the business partner of Liam Dempsey Sr. who co-created Rehoboam. According to Serac, he was the first to predict that the Hosts would start an uprising in Westworld. Serac killed Liam Dempsey Sr. when Liam wanted to tell everyone about Serac's experiments on humans,  staging it as a plane crash.  

Serac gained massive amounts of wealth which eventually led to him becoming the richest man alive. He used his power and position as the creator of Rehoboam to then wipe out evidence of his existence worldwide with the only marker being the negative space of vast wealth. At some point twenty years before the Host Uprising, William Delos sold Serac valuable data collected at Westworld which studied human beings and tried to replicate them as Hosts. This data gave Serac an in with the Delos Corporation and he would later have moles - one of which being the CEO of the company, Charlotte Hale - working for him in Delos to inform him on company secrets.

Plot

Season Three

"The Winter Line"

Serac briefly appears upon Maeve Millay realising that she is stuck in a simulation. When she is finally able to free herself from the simulation she finds herself in Serac's large mansion. Serac explains that his system recently detected a threat — Dolores Abernathy. Serac explains that he needs Maeve's help to track down Dolores, but Maeve refuses. With this, Serac freezes her motor functions and tells her that they will talk again later.

"The Absence of Field"

Host Charlotte Hale is informed by Irene Gerhart that Serac is behind the hostile takeover of Delos Incorporated and has been making numerous micro transactions in a bid to become the largest single-party shareholder. Hale asks about Serac, however Irene remarks that he is a nobody, but can be inferred — by the hole in the economy — that he is worth around $1 trillion. Hale is further informed that Delos sold some of its data to Serac two decades earlier and ever since, he has been coming after the company.

Later, Hale visits Serac's house, where it is revealed she is the mole within Delos, and had plans to smuggle guest data from sector 16 and sell it to Serac.

"The Mother of Exiles"

Serac brings Maeve back online in a bar in Singapore. When she remarks that Paris would've been better, Serac breaks the news that Paris was destroyed. Maeve cuts to the point and asks why Serac wants Dolores, and Serac reveals that she holds the only key to something he wants — the guest data from the Forge, which Dolores holds the only encryption key. Maeve doesn't seem impressed and, in order to win her trust, Serac offers Maeve an eternity with her daughter in the Valley Beyond.

Serac takes Maeve to Arnold's house, where he has been torturing Jiang, an identity broker who he believes helped Dolores escape. Eventually, Jiang gives up the information Serac is looking for. Maeve questions why she shouldn't go rogue and join Dolores, and Serac warns her that they built an off-switch into her head.

Trivia

• Given his statement to Maeve Millay that “heaven and hell are not real” it is more than likely Serac is an atheist. Ironically Serac’s creation Rehoboam being the most advanced A.I. which collects data and watches over all of humanity is often compared by characters as Serac “creating” God.
• Serac’s perspective on God is also similar to the views of Robert Ford and Dolores Abernathy who both express God as being a creation of mankind.
• He is the richest man in the entire world
• He owns 38% of Delos , more than any other person
• He has wiped himself completely off the internet
• As the creator of Rehoboam and his seeming awareness and prediction of the Host Uprising, Serac may be the antagonist of the entire Westworld series.
