Biblical character who made hothead join group (4)

I believe the answer is:

seth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'biblical character' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'made hothead join group' is the wordplay.
'made hothead' becomes 'h' (head letter of 'hot'. I am not sure about the 'made' bit.).
'join' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'h' after 'set' is 'SETH'.

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seth that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Adam and Eve's third child" , "Old Testament character" , "Adam's third son" , "Early human" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
