Sleep-deprived anon here, it was 3 or 4 in the morning I think. And yes, I was referring to him, we are in the same wave :D although in promos he was alter ego, now he is caster?? youtu. be / KtP818nabTI . At least he was related to Abe, it's something I suppose XD. Thank you so much for the info!! Love your blog ;D
No problem, and please do get more sleep if possible ==lll
Yes, Alter Ego is his true class from what he hinted in Shimosa Singularity. His skillset and even Noble Phantasm remains unknown as of now. But for his history, the closest I know of him is from here:
Abe no Seimei’s chief rival was a sorcerer from Harima named Ashiya Dōman. Dōman was much older than Seimei, and believed that there was no one in the land who was a better onmyōji than he was. Upon hearing of Seimei’s genius, he challenged him to a magical duel.
Three challenges he gave to Seimei, Douman lost to all of them and was completely humiliated. 
Ashiya Dōman continued to hold a grudge against Abe no Seimei, and continued to plot against him. He seduced Seimei’s wife and convinced her to tell him Seimei’s magical secrets. She showed him the stone box in which Seimei kept Hoki Naiden, his book of spells. Hoki Naiden was a book of secrets which had been passed down since time immemorial from India to Tang, China. It came into the possession of the Japanese envoy, Kibi no Makibi. When Kibi no Makibi returned to Japan from Tang, he presented the secret book to the relatives of his friend Abe no Nakamaro, who remained in China. From there it was passed down and eventually inherited by Abe no Seimei. (I bold that part if assuming Nasu did follow this part of the history and that’s what Douman is so fixated on in India Lostbelt right now)
One night when Seimei returned home, Dōman boasted that he had acquired Seimei’s secret magic book. Seimei scolded him, saying that was impossible. So impossible, in fact, that if Dōman did have the book, he could cut Seimei’s throat. Dōman triumphantly presented the book, and Seimei, realizing that he had been betrayed by his wife, offered his throat to Dōman. Dōman gladly cut it open. Seimei died.
Seimei was then revived by Saint Hokudō after collecting his ashes and bones. Both of them went back to Seimei’s old home where he promptly cut open Douman’s and his now ex-wife’s throat after Hokudo called him to appear when Douman didn’t believe Hokudo saw Seimei alive when he murdered him
This one is not really accurate but does make me curious if Seimei is going to be next living Servant since he’s technically alive again, and he’s also famous for his Taizan Fuukuin Ritual���
But Douman, I can hardly find anything about him… Kinda guessing historian who wrote about Seimei didn’t find him much importance, or just that Seimei’s whole life is still shrouded in mystery
