Seleucus founded the Seleucid Empire, which at its height included regions of modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Central Asia. Ptolemy established the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, which became one of the most prosperous and influential Hellenistic kingdoms.
He was assassinated by Ptolemy Keraunos near Lysimachia in Thrace in September 281 BCE.

Well what do you mean by the "north"? After Alex died, many of his general's fought over the empire but only three ended up gaining control (Ptolemy in Egypt, Seleucus in Persia/Asia, and Antigonius in Macedonia)
When Alexander died his empire was split by his generals. The empire shortened down to five generals. Lysimachus, who got the smallest piece, took Thrace, Antipater took Macedonia and Greece, Antigonus took the Asia Minor and Armenia, Seleucus took the largest chunk, which was Babylonia (basically all of Ancient Mesopotamia), Parthia, and Bactria, and last but not least, Ptolemy took Libya, Egypt, Cilicia, Cyprus, and part of Arabia.
