My responce was based on your initial input of AVTK which obviously means Autocrator=emperor.
If you think the seal bears AVTH and not AVTK, then maybe we should see it  8)  ;D

Yes, it's Michael Doukas, grandson of Eirene and kaisar Ioannes Doukas  - brother of Constantine X Doukas/, son of Andronikos Doukas and brother of Eirene Doukaina, wife of Alexios I.
He is a cousin of Michael VII

It is very clear visible on the seal - AVTK .
The inscription AVTH is citation from the site PBW.
