Bio: Hailing from Jamaica, Sebastian is brought to be the court composer and tutor to Ariel. In the TV series he also is Triton's main adviser. When not working, he is usually found with Ariel, keeping an eye on her. Like Flounder he is also very timid when it comes to adventures. Sebastian also tries to kiss up to Triton whenever possible. He swims slower than the others and is usually hanging onto Flounder's tail.
Sebastian is a crab, the servant of King Triton and the film's primary tritagonist. The character was developed solely for the film, and is not derived from the original Hans Christian Andersen story. Aside from being a crab, Sebastian is also known for his Caribbean accent. In his appearances in film and television, Sebastian is voiced by Samuel E. Wright. When the film opens, Sebastian is announced as being the "royal court composer", and conducts a concert that King Triton's seven daughters are supposed to perform. Ariel, the youngest daughter, fails to show up for the concert, and later Sebastian joins King Triton in scolding her, blaming her for his humiliation. King Triton, worried about Ariel, tasks Sebastian with following Ariel and keeping her out of trouble. Sebastian tries to do the job given to him, and is horrified when Ariel saves the life of and falls in love with a human. Sebastian accidentally lets this information slip to King Triton, who confronts Ariel. Feeling guilty for having "betrayed" Ariel, Sebastian follows Ariel when she visits Ursula the sea witch for help, and later becomes an adviser in her quest to win Prince Eric's affections. After Ursula disguises herself as a human and wins over Prince Eric, Sebastian goes down to inform King Triton, and later becomes instrumental in helping Ariel and Prince Eric defeat Ursula.
