Sid (シド, Shido) is a character in Suikoden II. Sid is a Winged Horde who enjoys teasing children, particularly Chaco.
Profile
Sid exhibited a range of peculiar and eccentric traits throughout his life in Two River City. He was known for routinely harassing fellow Winged Horde Chaco, treating him as a plaything since their childhood. Sid's behavior often included telling terrifying stories to children, causing some to empty themselves with fear.
His idiosyncrasies extended to engaging in bizarre activities, such as walking around on his hands upside-down and burying fish skeletons, creating over 100 makeshift graves.
Despite his penchant for solitude and secrecy, Sid maintained a certain fondness for the Winged Horde community. A few individuals, such as a winghorde child and Taki, saw a different side of Sid and considered him to be somewhat shy.
History
Sid, a member of the Winged Horde from Two River City's Winged Horde district, grew up with peculiar tendencies that both intrigued and disturbed the townspeople. When he was a child, he would listen to the strange and eerie stories shared by his grandfather of his wanderings.
His routine harassment of Chaco, a fellow Winged Horde, persisted from childhood into adulthood. Sid had a reputation for sharing scary stories with children, leading to unsettling reactions.
That said, many saw Sid's actions as his way of befriending and toughing up children. He had looked after Chaco when he was a baby and had even made a ball for the young boy.
He had agreed to participate as the masked men for the community's Spirit Festival but quickly grew bored of giving the same scares he did in his day-to-day life. Before he continued his scares, he was confronted by the spirit of his deceased grandfather admonishing him. This silenced Sid for a time but he soon perked up with ideas for new scary stories.
At some point, Sid claimed he would leave Two River City but instead moved into the city's sewers, seeking solitude. Few people knew his whereabouts in the sewers, considering him elusive and secretive.
When the hero and Chaco ventured into the sewers, they encountered Sid, and upon learning of Chaco's involvement in the New State Army, Sid decided to join as well. He continued his habit of teasing and scaring Chaco within the army, even extending his eerie tactics to others, such as sharing spine-chilling tales with children and sending cursed chain letters.
Despite his eccentricities, Sid proved to be a formidable fighter, wielding his spear with surprising strength and skill during the Dunan Unification War. After the war's conclusion, he returned to Two River City, where he continued to exhibit his enigmatic and eerie presence, often frightening the townsfolk and Chaco.
