He is largely unconcerned with the battle for the Oracles, and comes down on Meridian's side solely because he seeks the reinstatement of Ra's creation, rather than the creation of something new. As far as he is concerned, Ra's creation of the world and her presence as supreme authority of the gods ( even if he calls her a hag and bickers with her ) was the will of the world itself, and deviation from that/influence from external forces is a crime. He considers the end of his world a deviation, rather than proper history.
Bound by his promise to his son, Set has elected to make every attempt to bring the world he must atone to back, instead of running away from the sins he has committed. In speaking with Yima, he has admitted that his heart strays more towards Zenith's goal -- he would far prefer to leave his world destroyed and remake something better for his family, for his son. However, because he has given his promise to Anubis, and Horus's presence influences him to continue to try despite his despairing, he joined the Meridian side.
In being ON the Meridian side, however, his goals begin to flourish in favor of selfish pursuits. He seeks power, divinity and might upon the field of battle concerning the Oracles, but also has begun to focus on the implicit "threat" imposed to the balance of Kenos itself.
To this end, Set is slowly resolving to bearing the mantle of "greatest evil", accepting the carnage, chaos and strife caused by the Oracle battles unto himself as dedication and sacrifice. I've every intention of this corrupting him, so that even if he achieves his goal, he cannot partake in the world he's restored or made. He intends to bear the sins of both Meridian and Zenith as they seek their dreams, and is fully willing to commit to destroying those who are unsound of conviction, and/or ending the dreams of those he must eliminate in the process of attaining his own end.
Though he has an end in mind, he is still hedonistic and pleasure-seeking, treating Kenos's existence as his own playground and the Oracle battles as his rightful domain to distract from his own trauma and despair. Can't let the bad thoughts reach you and detract from your willpower! He will continue to do as he pleases and prove a dangerously solitary figure in the coming battles.
He struggles to divorce himself from others, to remain untouchable and independent, yet is readily impassioned by the convictions and values of others. Despite his alien mindset and rough manner, he cares deeply for the Shardbearers who vie for the power to make their dreams a reality and tries to hide it. His care for them is not exclusive, however, of his ability or willingness to trod upon them in the end.
MERIDIAN OR ZENITH?
Set is paradoxical.
