Cidolfus Orlandeau

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.

He went undefeated in the Fifty Years' War, fighting alongside Barbaneth and Zalbaag Beoulve and their Northern Order, and was greatly feared by the Ordallians. He has long served as retainer to Duke Goltanna, having fought together for some twenty years, and it is due to House Orlandeau's support that the duke can wage war. However, Count Orlandeau is critical of the recent behavior of both dukes Larg and Goltanna.
