Cidolfus Orlandeau

Biography
The world's foremost swordsman, Orlandeau is the knight general for Prince Goltanna of the Black Lion. Known as the "Thunder God" due to his ferocity and ability on the battlefield, at the beginnings of the War of the Lions he instead preaches temperance, dropping him from his liege's favor and ending in his imprisonment. When Delita assassinates Goltanna, it creates a space for Ramza to free Cid, while Delita covers the escape by executing a willing sacrifice from the church instead of the Thunder God, who Delita subsequently frames for Duke's murder. Cid's adopted son, Orran, is imprisoned with him and does not learn of the truth of his father's escape until far later.Personae Entries
