* Fox Mulder of ''[[The X-Files]]'' is the living embodiment of this trope, so much so we may as well name it the Mulder Archetype
* Gil Grissom on ''[[CSI]]''
* Jessica Fletcher on ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]''
* Locke on ''[[Lost]]''
* Richard Cypher from, oddly enough, "[[The Legend Of The Seeker]]". He is the Seeker of Truth, armed with, coincidentally, the Sword of Truth.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* Neku from ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]]''; For 75% of the story he's trying to figure out how he entered the UG and how he was killed.
* Takius from ''[[Ragnarok Online]]: The Animation''
* Adam Jensen in ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Video Game)|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]''; one of his more memorable lines in the game's trailer is "I'll never stop looking."
* In [[.hack GU Games]], the fluff sometimes describe Hasseo and Ovan as "Seekers of the Truth". Hasseo is driven to figure out the mystery behind the [[P Ker]] known as "Tri-Edge", and to save the coma victims (particularly Shino) he seems to leave in his wake; Ovan wishes to find "The Key of Twilight" {{spoiler|as he is actually "Tri-Edge", or rather, his PC is infected with the malevolent AI that started the whole mess. He wants to find a way to purge it so as to save his little sister, who was the first coma victim.}}
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In [[Holiday Wars]], Tegan is seeking The Holiday Spirit to end a war between all of the Holidays. An example of this [https://web.archive.org/web/20141010204551/http://www.holiday-wars.com/blog/2010/11/19/2010-hw-088/ can be seen here.]
