The Seeker was an an artificial intelligence serving Anubis. It controlled a pyramid-shaped spaceship and could create a mummy-like body for itself.

During Anubis's millennia-long sleep, the Seeker has been tasked with seeking all remaining Osiran devices. The non-sentient devices were to be destroyed. His last assignment before waking Anubis was to find the last sentient Osiran device, the Architect's great key and deliver it to Anubis. When the Seeker detected the energy signatures of Dorothy Bell, who had merged with the key, it left Anubis's ship the Shining Horizon, travelled to Earth and tried to find the key. By mistake it transmatted to its ship Hanif, Erik Ulfriksson, the Tenth Doctor, Cleopatra Hunsicker and Cindy Wu instead of Dorothy, who camouflaged herself from the Seeker. It then transmitted an ultimatum to all Earth primates. It would destroy the planet, unless the Architect's great key was delivered to it. Dorothy saved the planet by voluntarily uncloaking herself and agreeing to surrender. The Seeker transported her and Gabby Gonzalez to its ship. Deeming all but the Doctor and Cindy to be potentially of value to the historical records, the Seeker transmatted the two back to Earth and, with the rest departed to Anubis's ship, Shining Horizon, where it woke Anubis from hibernation. From that time on, it followed Anubis's orders. (COMIC: Spiral Staircase)
