There's another good idea.
But, no matter what we say, it's all in Lorne's mind of how he made sekto motivated. He was the creator fer odd's sakes!

That doesn't mean that no-one else should be able to understand it. Speaking as someone who's done a bit of writing myself (and ingested a lot of both good and bad stories) it is 100% necessary that the audience should be able to understand a character's decisions. See, an author will often decide what is necessary to further the plot (like setting up a bounty for Steefs) before thinking about
why the character would do that. A good author is able to make all plot twists 100% plausible to the audience (it doesn't need to be
clear - there could be some discussion on the exact thought process like here but it must not be totally illogical) because otherwise they will stick out like a sore thumb.
And, in terms of whether sekto needed a new host, did his bounty offer specify that the steef had to be brought in alive? Because I didn't get that impression at all.
