-His parents named him Soran Ibrahim. (prnounced Sore-Ann E-bruh-Heem). He will stab you if you ever call him that.
-He's of Kurdish heritage, and was born in the republic of Krugis, which is based on the region known as "Kurdistan".
-When he was 8 years old, he, along with all the other boys in the village who were roughly his age, were recruited into jihadist terrorist group the KPSA. As part of their initiation into the group, each of the boys were given a gun, and told that to truly give themselves to god, they had to cut all earthly ties and remove anything that challenged God's authority. Setsuna went home and proceeded to shoot his father three times in the stomach, then shoot his mother twice in the chest. All the other boys killed their parents as well.
-Out of all the people he's killed, his parents are the only ones he genuinely regrets. Everyone else had it coming.
-When he was 10, the neighboring nation of Azadistan wiped out the KPSA by unleashing their military on them. Setsuna was the only member from his village to survive, and that's only because of the intervention by the 0 Gundam.
-From the time he was 10 until he was about 14, he was homeless and wandered aimlessly around the middle east. A number of people tried to take advantage of him, thinking of him as only some skinny homeless kid they could use and abuse, only to discover that he was a former terrorist who was highly trained in close quarter combat and had no qualms killing people. He was never successfully sexually assaulted, but the fact that so many people tried is a large part of the reason he's so wary of physical contact.
-When it came to sex education, Lockon tried to give him "the talk", only for Setsuna to stare blankly at him. Allelujah left him books and videos which he watched and flipped through, but the only things he was able to glean from those was that sex seemed very uncomfortable for women (he could tell they were faking), and that saliva didn't make a good lubricant. Miss Sumeragi gave him several "mission plans" to follow should he ever get laid, and while he's memorized them, he's never had a chance to use them.
-He's straight, but considering that all of his sexual experiences have basically amounted to attempted rape, he's in no hurry to get involved with anyone. He has been noticing girls a lot more, though.
-Truth be told, he prefers Exia to the 00 Raiser. Exia is actually built to move like him, and the same fighting style he learned in the KPSA he can use while piloting Exia. The 00 Raiser is a bit too bulky for that.
-Setsuna has a quantum brain, which is a network of quantum particles that exist in a neural network within his brain. Its almost fully developed, which is why he needs the energy of the GN drive to help stimulate its higher functions. When its fully developed, he'll be able to access all his innovator abilities at will.
-He likes the baths, even if he isn't there often. But having grown up in a desert, soaking himself in water feels utterly luxurious.
